Tofino Yoga + Surf Retreat

Experience Inspire + Awaken, an intimate and powerfully immersive, 3-day Tofino Yoga + Surf Retreat, April 19 to 22, 2024. From 3 nights in an Oceanside Suite and nourishing meals to a self-care focussed itinerary—including yoga, creative projects, surfing, culture, sauna sessions, sound baths, and more—we invite you to witness and connect with Tofino as it awakens to spring.
This retreat is sold out – stay tuned for more retreats in the fall.

REFRESH. RESET. RECONNECT.

Breathe in the intoxicating coastal breezes and melody of waves in Cox Bay (čahayis), steps from your suite here at Pacific Sands Beach Resort—a beachfront haven with front-row seats to the medicine of the Pacific Ocean.

Gather with new friends at the Sunset House and nourish your body with West Coast-inspired, locally sourced food. Reconnect with yourself while connecting with the spirit of the land with Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation wisdom through yoga, guided nature walks and creative projects. Then soak away the evenings with therapeutic sound baths, restorative yoga, Nordic sauna/cold dips, and Yoga Nidra.

YOUR HOST: HEIDI MACPHERSON

With over 1000 hours of supplemental training in Vinyasa, Hatha and Yin, meditation, anatomy and biomechanics, Heidi’s teachings are alignment-based, compassionate, and whole. Her philosophy of pausing to create space in the body and mind brings greater awareness, mobility, and self-expression as you reconnect to what it is that’s most important.
