Q. What style and level of yoga do you offer at your retreats?

A. I offer gentle hatha and restorative yoga suitable for beginners and all levels, and welcoming and inclusive of all bodies. Props are available to provide support and assist with balance. 

​

Q. Do I have to know how to knit to attend this retreat?

A. No. You are welcome to participate and bring a crochet or needlework project for daily knitting circles. If you wish to participate in the retreat knitting project you should have at least basic knitting skills (casting on, knit, purl). You can learn by taking a class at a yarn shop (the Beehive Wool Shop in Victoria) or online from one of the many YouTube instructors. I love Very Pink Knits slow-motion videos for learning to cast on, knit stitch, and purl stitch.

 

Q. Do I have to participate in all activities on the retreat schedule?

A. No. This time is meant for you to enjoy, which means you can participate in as much or as little as you wish. You may find yourself feeling energized and wishing to socialize, explore and move your body. Or you may find yourself wishing to rest and enjoy the quiet slower pace of island life. 

 

Q. Are you able to accommodate special dietary requirements?

A. Yes.  I will be reaching out to retreat participants a month before the retreat to ask about dietary requirements. Let me know and I will work with the retreat kitchen to do the best we can to accommodate your needs.  â€‹
