Fall into Yoga and Meditation Retreat
slowing down and being an authentic observer of self
One of the most wonderful parts of living in Ontario is the transformational experience of seasonal change. Autumn reminds us to shed what no longer serves us, to celebrate the fruits of our labour, and to go within as we prepare for our upcoming time of winter ‘hibernating’. This 3-day, 2-night getaway at Sugar Ridge will offer you an opportunity to step away from the busy-ness of life in order to be truly present in the rich sensory experience of the fall season. Through mindful yoga classes, various styles of meditation, and contemplative discussions, and a Guided Journalling Workshop, you will have the time and space to reflect on the practice of slowing down and being an authentic observer of self.
Everyone is Welcome

Meet Your Facilitator
Lindsay MacIntosh
Lindsay MacIntosh began her yoga journey in March 2020, shortly after the birth of her third child. In seeking a way to ease post-delivery discomfort, she found that yoga not only restored her physical mobility but also became a transformative and grounding practice in her life. What started as a method for physical recovery soon grew into a passionate daily ritual that nurtured her emotional, mental, and physical well-being. Lindsay holds 400 hours of yoga teacher training, completed at Bliss Studios Shine OM in Barrie. She now seeks to share the life-changing benefits of yoga with others, fostering a safe, inclusive space where individuals can explore mindful movement and cultivate balance from within.
