Urban Garden Day Retreats
Our Urban Garden Day Retreats are the perfect way to refresh without leaving the city.
If you’re seeking rest, healing, and connection, near to home and in a simple one-day format, this retreat among the old growth trees in our English-style garden in the Beaches is for you. Be Still Yoga Urban Garden Day Retreats provide:
- Beautiful Setting: Held in our serene, private English garden and home.
- Rest & Reflection Time: The day unfolds in an easy, relaxing way, with the emphasis on connection and relaxation. Away from the yoga mats, there are comfy chairs, shade, and even a hammock. And there’s always good food and fresh coffee on hand.
- On-site Chef: The fabulous Chef Mark will welcome you into the tranquil space and provide fresh, homemade and healthy drinks, meals and snacks.
- Japanese Soaker Tub: Unwind by enjoying a dip in the BC Red Cedar oval tub.
