Tofino Yoga + Surf Retreat

Experience Inspire + Awaken, an intimate and powerfully immersive, 3-day Tofino Creative Wellness Retreat With Yoga + Surf April 4 to 7, 2025. From 3 nights in an Oceanside Suite and nourishing family-style dinners to an inspirational self-care itinerary, yoga, creative projects, surfing, Tla-o-qui-aht cultural nature walks, Nordic sauna, sound baths, and more—we invite you to witness and connect with Tofino as it awakens to spring.

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, our Retreat Haven perched high on the hill above Pacific Sands Beach Resort. Awaken with Sunrise Yoga and 100° views of Cox Bay and Rosie Bay. Nourish your body with West Coast-inspired, locally sourced food. Reconnect with yourself and the spirit of the land with Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation wisdom through yoga, guided nature walks, and earth-based creative projects. Then soak away the evenings with a healing sound bath, Yin or Restorative yoga, Nordic sauna/cold dips, and Yoga Nidra.

Within your balanced itinerary, there is plenty of time to pause. Book an in-house Inspire + Awaken Spring facial, Inspire + Awaken Spring massage, or relax in the Sunset House Hot Tub, perched at the edge of the earth.

YOUR HOST: HEIDI MACPHERSON

Heidi is an E-500 Registered Yoga Teacher with the Yoga Alliance. She has led the yoga program at Pacific Sands since 2017. With over 2000 hours of supplemental training in Vinyasa, Hatha and Yin, meditation, anatomy and biomechanics, Heidi’s teachings are alignment-based, compassionate, and whole.

Heidi is inspired by the changing of seasons. “To pause and align with the inspiration of Spring invites the earth’s awakening to land in the body, mind and spirit. Retreats are the perfect container to yield to the shift of seasons, inviting greater awareness, mobility, and self-expression as you reconnect to what it is that’s most important.”

Heidi is also a classically trained musician. Expect yoga to be accompanied by harmonium, harp or drum.
