Dog Days of Summer: Yoga, Meditation & Dogs!

Create your escape!

Escape to the country with fresh air, star filled sky, bonfire storytelling and your dog by your side.

This weekend is for people who love dogs. You don’t have to bring one, but you have to enjoy them since they’ll be part of our hikes and yoga outside.

We’re at the heart of Georgian Bay and the area comes alive in the summer with the natural beauty around us. Surrounded by beaches, there are many local spots to go relax on the beach and swim, paddle board or stay put and enjoy our patio.

The opportunity for you to do whatever you need

This getaway is an opportunity for you to do whatever you need. For some that may mean going to the beach and for others it can mean parking the car, and not going anywhere. Park the car and chill for a couple days or venture out to explore the area.

Whatever YOU need we’ll help to arrange it. Everyone will relax deeply! We will nurture you with wholesome organic meals and our stress free environment. If more nurturing is what you need we can book you a massage, mani/pedi or reiki session on site.

Here are some suggestions

Meet Your Facilitator

Lindsay Domonkos

Lindsay Domonkos 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.

Book Your Retreat

Friday July 25

Sunday July 27

Tuition rates are per person

Tuition includes all meals, classes and accommodation.

Because dogs will be attending, you need to book accommodation that suits your pooch and other guests. Dogs must either be sharing accommodation with people they know, or book a private room. We don’t assume everyone wants to sleep with a dog they don’t know, and not all pooches get along in close quarters.

Shared – $565 + HST (up to 4 people in a cabin)

Semi-Private – $645 + HST (2 share a room)

Private – $825 + HST for a room to yourself

Some cabins have 2 rooms.

For answers to questions, or help to register, give us a call 866-609-1793 or email [email protected]

Our Accomodation Types

Shared - Cabin will be shared with up to 3 other guests of the same gender. If you are booking for just yourself, depending on the retreat, we will match you with other guests of the same gender.

Semi-private - Cabin will be shared with the 1 other person you are registering with. If booking alone, we will try to match you with someone of the same gender.

Private - Cabin for one person, not sharing with others.
