A yoga retreat within Algonquin Park is an amazing experience. You will be witness to a wilderness that is filled with wildlife, wild flowers, and breath taking scenery. The waters are clear, refreshing, and welcoming after a day of canoeing and hiking through the woods. Each morning you will awaken to a magical sunrise and partake in an energizing yoga session. Fresh coffee and a cooked breakfast will also help you with the waking up!
Each day there will be a yoga class in the morning before breakfast, in the afternoon during a canoeing / hiking day trip, and in the evening. The morning classes will have gentle postures to help wake up the body and the mind to prepare them for the day ahead. During the days the group will be either on a canoeing or hiking day trip. Part way through the day the group will be going through a flowing yoga class on a lakeshore surrounded by the wildness of Algonquin. There will also be time put aside for mediation while on the day trips.
In the evening you will be experiencing yin yoga. A gentle style of yoga that will help calm the body and mind down after an exciting day. You will also have the opportunity for a fantastic massage at the end of the day. A registered massage therapist will be on hand to help ease any muscle tension that you may have and help deliver you into a state of bliss.

This trip will give you a taste of what Algonquin is all about. It’s a great experience for those who are going on a canoe trip for the first time and for those who have little time off from work and need to getaway for a while. Each day will start off with a yoga class that is designed to help slowly wake up the body and mind and prepare you for a day filled with canoeing, portaging, and having a great time. At the end of the day there will be time for swimming, fishing, or just relaxing on the lakeshore. There will also be a yoga class at the end of the day to stretch out those stiff muscles from canoeing and carrying packs over the portages. Throughout the trip your guide will be teaching you the basics of canoeing, regaling you with stories of the park, and will be baking up a storm of tasty desserts after you’ve enjoyed a gourmet meal.

This trip is a great opportunity to extend a long weekend into an even longer weekend. You will be traveling deeper into Algonquin Park where there are fewer groups and greater chances of spotting wildlife. Each morning and evening will have a yoga class as well as meditation sessions in the evenings for those who wish to participate. We also try to customize the trip to meet each individuals needs. For the orienteering enthusiasts, sessions on navigation are available throughout the trip. For those who are curious about gourmet cooking in the woods, your guide will divulge our culinary secrets and will have you assist them in their outdoor kitchen.

The trip starts from Snug Harbour where the group will paddle through narrow channels and past steep rocky cliffs. Your next stop, the south shore of Franklin Island. Where you will break for a picnic lunch and a refreshing swim. Once you have had your fill of good food and relaxation. The group will continue to explore the rugged west shore of the island by sea kayak and set up camp for the night.
After a great breakfast you will be off to the Mink Islands chain. Here you will find fantastic channels and islands to explore. The northern end of the chain contains fascinating vegetation due to the harsh wind swept conditions that Georgian Bay is well known for. The southern end of the Mink Islands hold stands of white pine, cedar and a large variety of shrubs and wild flowers. About 300 meters off Green Island is the wreckage of the Seattle and on a calm day you might be able to see the remains of the steamship that had sank in 1903 during a savage storm.
With further exploration of the southern isles you will come across the remains of what was once a booming fishing station. Some of the buildings have been turned into private cottages. Though there are still some of the remains of the piers within the water to give evidence of the once prosperous fishing station. On the return trip, you will stop at Franklin Island for another amazing lunch and then return back to Snug Harbour.
