The Wild Flow

East Coast Yoga Retreat with Stefanie Castson

📍 Nova Scotia, Canada | September 16–20

This retreat isn’t just a getaway. It’s a chance to slow down, breathe deeper, and experience Nova Scotia the way Stefanie has come to love it. After settling with her family on the Bay of Fundy, she’s excited to welcome a small group of yogis for a 4-day retreat that blends practice with the natural rhythm of the coast.

You’ll stay at The August House, a boutique inn with a garden that will be exclusively yours for the retreat. It’s the perfect backdrop for movement, rest, and rediscovery.

Expect thoughtful yoga sessions, time in nature, and the space to reconnect with yourself. Yoga practitioners of all levels are welcome.
