“No matter how beautiful your outer world looks, it’s what’s on the inside that’s important. And if your inner world is messy and unhealthy, nothing that you get on the outside will ever make you happy. On the other hand, if your inner world is healthy and complete, the simplest and most basic of things in your outer world will fill your heart and soul. The greatest treasures of life truly are the inner ones.”

- Robin Sharma

Experience Peace.

Are you craving to reconnect with yourself? Join us on this retreat and leave feeling grounded, grateful, expansive and unlimited. Experience the peace that lingers after yoga practice, allowing it to trickle through the entire day and stay with you, long after the retreat itself comes to an end.

  • Be.

    Embrace your yoga practice exactly as it is in a beautiful open air setting overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Manduka yoga mats & props are provided so all you need to bring to practice is yourself, exactly as you are.

  • Dream.

    Relax in beautiful accommodation with valley or ocean view (or both!), high quality linens, and solar powered hot water for complete relaxation. Enjoy the breeze through screened windows and doors and listen to the sounds of the ocean as you drift off.

  • Eat.

    Verdad’s chefs Heydi and Elena prepare all of our delicious, freshly made meals with local ingredients and love. What isn’t grown there in the garden, is found at the local farmer’s market, allowing us to support neighbours in numerous ways.

  • Refresh.

    Lounge and cool off in Verdad’s pool. Surrounded by nature with ocean views. Listen to the sounds from around while you refresh. Make yourself at home and enjoy the honour bar stocked with all sorts of beverages to quench your thirst.

  • Connect.

    Even though many of us will come to this retreat solo, we will quickly become a community sharing a meaningful experience. There will be time and space for you to connect with others, to learn from them, to share with them.

  • Relax.

    Soak in the laidback luxury experience with a massage, included with your retreat. The smell of incense, sounds of the waves, the feeling of the warm air … allow yourself to be taken away into deep relaxation.

  • Give.

    From this retreat, $50 per person will be donated to a local school in the area. Feel grounded knowing that your time here isn’t only for yourself, you are also contributing to the community which graciously invites us to share in the beauty of their home.

  • Expand.

    Taking part in a yoga retreat is a special gift to give oneself. It is the gift of time, of connection, of nourishment, of experience. Allow these experiences to expand your consciousness, expand your understanding of yourself, expand your connection to the world.

  • Teacher + Facilitator

    It is my joy and passion to share the practice of yoga. Knowing how much it goes beyond the physical practice, I am fortunate to witness how it can change lives, just as it has changed mine.

    Trust yourself, trust your practice.

 

Your Guide

 

Emily loves the simple joys in life. The first sip of coffee in the morning, the warmth of the sun, the sounds of nature. Practicing and teaching yoga has allowed her to connect more deeply to these simple joys, and this is what she loves to share with her students. It's not about what shape you make with your body, it's about what you learn from and through the movement. Emily has a passion for movement which began with her love of dance from age six. She has been teaching yoga since 2016.

Emily is also a part-time elementary school teacher. Since she was a child she knew she wanted to be a teacher. She loves experiencing the simple joys with her students and learns so much from them about how to enjoy and embrace the present moment.

While teaching yoga, Emily exudes joy and invites her students to try their best, especially when facing challenges. She offers gentle and encouraging guidance to help those following explore their own movement a bit deeper. She is passionate about giving people tools through yoga to help them gain focus and perspective in their daily lives.

Emily aims to live a healthy life in her mind, body, and soul, on and off the mat. She loves to spend time in nature and be close to the water. Emily grew up and currently has her home base in Canada, though she is regularly on the move, traveling and teaching around the world as well as online.

With a heart full of adventure, Emily is at home wherever she is.

Yoga Love

  • The delight in Emily’s eyes to see us open our gifts was priceless. Emily went the extra mile. I wore the beads all week and when I got to our next destination I found a shell on the beach and added it to the bead necklace.

    Kassie

  • My husband and I have been taking Emily's online classes and recently participated in her one day Yoga retreat. Emily has a beautiful gift- not only guiding Yoga practices in such a unique and beautiful way but she also makes everyone feel very comfortable and safe. Thank you Emily and keep doing what you do!

    Clara & Jason
