Join Melissa Krieger and Laura Benson for our newest retreat offering at The Beach Club Resort!
This luxury oceanfront property is located in the heart of Parksville on Vancouver Island.
This weekend retreat runs from Friday, November 6 to Sunday, November 8, 2026.
During this 2-night retreat you'll be nurtured with a variety of yoga and movement classes, delicious catered meals, and time to chill out, walk the beach, or use the indoor pool and hot tub!
The price of the retreat is $725 per person (+GST) and includes all meals, classes, and social activities.
NOTE: The retreat fee does NOT include accommodation, so you will be responsible for booking your own room at The Beach Club. Retreat participants are eligible for a discounted rate using code:
"Bloom Yoga on the Beach"
We do recommend that you have some experience with yoga to attend this retreat.
You'll get to try several styles of yoga, such as hatha, flow, Yoga4Strength, and restorative. You'll be guided through mindfulness activities such as Yoga Nidra, meditation, and pranayama.
The level of yoga we offer is gentle to moderate with lots of room to play and explore. Expect plenty of time on the floor to roll around and chill out. You can also count on exploring a few sun salutations, standing poses like warriors and triangles, balances like half moon and tree, gentle backbends, and seated poses.
If you are after faster-paced classes, the style of yoga we teach may not be for you. We don't offer fast vinyasa flows, deep backbends like wheel, or poses like handstands and headstands. Not that there is anything wrong with those poses or level of intensity! It just isn't us.
We'll enjoy our Friday night dinner with a fun gathering in the restaurant as a group. The rest of our meals will be in our private group space.
Dietary considerations: Gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan diets can be easily accommodated. Please let us know in the registration form.
