About?
As the leaves gently fall and the air turns crisp, KIND Yoga founder Ellen Reesor invites you to join her in the warmth of our tranquil geodome nestled within Squamish's breathtaking mountains. Begin your morning with an All-Levels Vinyasa Flow and Pranayama practice crafted to seamlessly shift your awareness helping you to dive into some mindfulness based meditation techniques. Immersed in the outdoors, you’ll reflect on nature’s cycles of change and draw inspiration from its effortless transitions.
Next, we’ll make our way to the on-site Finnish sauna where we’ll use heat and cold river plunges to learn to embrace the natural shifts both within and around us by releasing what no longer serves us, inviting in more space for renewal and new possibilities. In the afternoon, we’ll connect with community over a delicious and nutritious meal, followed by a live music and restorative yoga class to seal our practice with our newfound intentions of renewal.
