Retreats
Join Yoga Grove on retreat in 2018! Our reknown retreats are designed to inspire and deeply nourish you physically and emotionally. Come get away this year to de-stress completely and turn your focus inward, to a place where you're given the space and time to learn and develop your yoga and mediation practice. Leslie's retreats include yoga, meditation and pranayama practices, inspiring and practical lectures and workshops on philosophy and practice, as well as her signature small group deep-release restorative yoga classes (often with the added luxury of massage).
This indulgent weekend retreat is designed to help you both re-energize and deeply relax, restoring and nourishing your mind, body and spirit.
Throughout your stay, enjoy sumptuous vegetarian meals that will help you feel deeply nourished and energized. You may wish to go cross-country skiing, snowshoeing or hiking the many trails through the wilderness surrounding the facility, or simply sit by the cozy fire with a good book. We will be offering daily meditation classes, gentle yoga classes, workshops on Yoga Philosophy and Restorative Yoga, and Yoga Grove's signature Restorative Yoga with Massage class - so you can choose to do as little or as much as you like. Highly extolled by past participants, our Restorative Yoga with Massage class is the ultimate in relaxation. Enjoy soothing music, essential oils, and massage while you are draped in cotton blankets and relaxing deeply in fully supported restorative yoga poses. This class will be done at separate times in small groups, ensuring maximum personal attention for everyone. This mini-vacation is designed to help you rest and restore completely. And our all-inclusive price includes meals, accommodation, classes and workshops. No prior yoga experience is necessary, and all activities are optional, should you decide that sleeping in is your yoga for the morning. Understand why Leslie's Restorative and Meditation retreats have become so popular by experiencing first-hand how deeply relaxing, truly inspiring and uniquely enriching they are - by escaping to Sugar Ridge with us this winter!

About Sugar RidgeSugar Ridge Retreat Centre was created to provide a place for people to reconnect with a part of themselves that may be neglected or hidden, to connect with others, or just get away and have some fun!
Located on 150 acres of majestic maple and cedar forests, lush meadows and surrounded by 3000 acres of provincial land, you can breathe fresh air, sleep deeply and feel revitalized just by being here. There are 20 km of trails accessible from the property for hiking, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing, so you can explore for hours in the serenity of the snow-covered wilderness.
