Teachers

Natalie Rousseau Horscroft E-RYT500, Anusra Inspired™ Yoga Teacher

“I have been a devoted student of yoga since 1999 and I began my teaching career in 2002. I teach yoga because I have experienced its power to heal and to transform firsthand and I am dedicated to serving my students by sharing with them the practices and the teachings that have so positively benefited me in my own life.

It is my mission to inspire and to support others in stepping wholeheartedly onto the path of self-empowerment that is yoga. This mission is guided by my overall vision of how communities of self-empowered people around the globe can change the world for the better. Teaching yoga is the offering I make in support of this vision.”

Food

You will be nourished with life enriching Living Foods prepared with love and gratitude by Milagro Retreats & hOMe Grown Living Foods. We will focus on Living Food Concepts including sprouting, dehydrating and fermenting. Inspiration will be drawn from Locally available produce and many ingredients will be harvested from our own Farm in the Cowichan Valley

Throughout the Retreat, our kitchen has an open concept with informal education about the ingredients, to increase your food knowledge and enhance your experience. We will also share an interactive Class and together we will create a gourmet easy to make Living Foods Meal including a Decadent Guilt Free Dessert!

Discovered a century ago when Anglican missionaries searched for the most beautiful place on Vancouver Island, Tofino continues to invoke a sense of breath-taking, awe-inspiring beauty.
