Expect a stunning background to your day. Mountains, green surrounds, creeks in the distance and peace. Their yoga space is natural. Prepare for practicing on a surface that is not as consistently flat as your home studio!

Elizabeth Jane “EJ” (E-RYT 500, Certified Sound Healer and Breathwork Facilitator) creates a safe, nurturing space that allows for a bit of magic, inner healing, and moments to touch the divine within us. She has served as lead teacher for multiple 200hr Yoga Teacher Trainings around the world from India, to Malta, to Indonesia, to Mexico. She founded and hosts a Sound Healing Certification Course in Breckenridge, Colorado. To her, these ancient tools (Breathwork, Sound, and Yoga) serve as profound medicine that help us return to our inquisitive, joyful, natural Self.
Retreat location
The program will be facilitated from Kootenay Yoga School's base camp, deep in the mountainous region of the Kootenay Boundary region. Students will wake to the sounds of playful robins and squirrels, practice under old-growth cedars, study riverside, and unwind by evening campfires under the stars.
Fantastic sunny weather! But, with that said, there is always the possibility of rain or cool evenings. You will not have access to a laundry service - please pack accordingly. Those who chill easily should pack an extra blanket.
