September 25 - 27, 2026

Join me in September 2026 for a deep dive into the mechanics of movement and breath at Nectar’s stunning property on Bowen Island - just a short ferry ride from Vancouver.

Movement Method is a science-backed approach that weaves together Postural Restoration, mobility work, and Vinyasa Yoga -  transforming therapeutic exercises into an engaging, feel-good experience.

Over the weekend, you’ll experience immersive learning that will reshape your understanding of movement and your yoga practice, balanced with deep rest, nourishing meals, and plenty of time in nature among a wonderful community of like-minded people.

Check in is 3pm on Friday, September 25th. We’ll meet for our opening practice around 4:30pm on once you settle in. Then we’ll gather for an incredible farm-to-table vegetarian meal. Saturday morning will start with an invigorating practice in the yoga dome, followed by a nourishing breakfast. There will be plenty of free time during the day to explore Bowen Island, hike, dip in the ocean, get a massage, enjoy Mist Thermal Sanctuary (right on the property and highly recommended), read a book etc. Lunch is served at 1pm, and we’ll gather back in the dome late afternoon for a restorative practice with breath work and Yoga Nidra before dinner. Sunday will start the same way, and we’ll check out at 11am.

RATES From $1090 to $2390, the rooms range from single A-frame cabins to deluxe cottages. You can view the room details on Nectar’s Cottage page, and view the rates by clicking the button below. Rates include 2 nights accommodation, all meals, and 4 Movement Method sessions.

GETTING THERE Nectar Yoga Retreat is located at 720 Gardner Lane on Bowen Island, just a short 20 minute ferry ride from Horseshoe Bay Ferry Terminal. Driving a car is easiest, however there is a public bus that has a limited schedule on weekends. Hitchhiking is also common and easy on Bowen.
