What will the experience be like? Let us paint the picture

Lisa will begin the day with a beautiful morning yoga practice, which will include gentle flowing yoga, pranayama and guided meditation. Lisa gives you plenty of space to do what your body is asking of you, in the moment. After your morning yoga practice, there will be time for pause and reflection, as well as introductions before lunch is served. Lyndele will give your taste buds a wellness treatment! Lyndele uses only the best quality ingredients, locally sourced where possible. These meals will be deeply infused with prana, reiki and love, offering high vitality foods that are nourishing and healing. The menu is plant based, focusing on local and seasonal whole foods! Be prepared to feel incredible, energized and full of life! The afternoon portion of the day will be a workshop designed by Lisa. Working with the seasons, moon cycles and women’s health, each workshop is created with love and intention. Together we learn about self care, wellness, wild crafting and creating our own ahbyanga oils, body butters, moon baths, smudge sticks, elixirs, facial masks, yoni oil and more! Each retreat is different! To cap off the day, Lisa will offer a beautiful relaxing restorative yoga session while Lyndele offers her magical healing reiki.

These days of self-care will leave you feeling fresh, renewed and BLISSED OUT!

About the space

Our location is Sarovara Yoga Studio & One Day Retreat Centre, overlooking a secluded bay on Pigeon Lake is located right in Port 32 of Bobcaygeon. In the heart of the Kawartha Lakes,  surrounded by water and nature,
The word “Sarovara” describes this yoga sanctuary perfectly. The meaning of this ancient Sanskrit word is “a body of water deep enough for the lotus flower to bloom” which can be roughly translated to “Lake Yoga”.
Retreats here always make for some good nature watching – whether it’s otters playing on the ice, herons fishing on the shore, butterflies & hummingbirds floating on by, beavers swimming across the bay or ospreys diving for fish! Not to mention the symphony of birds and frogs in the spring & summer months.
Always a beautiful & unique experience, this place is a little slice of heaven on earth.
