Surfing

Optional Surf Lessons with Surf Sister are available to enhance your weekend. They introduce women (and men!) of all ages and abilities to the sport of surfing in a safe, fun, and supportive environment, and offer advanced technique classes too. We learn and play on beautiful beaches near Tofino, British Columbia, rated as some of the most spectacular surfing in the world.

Yoga & Movement

A WEEKEND TO REJUVENATE AND RENEW WITH THE 4 PURIFICATIONS. Dorothy’s yoga weekends offer not just the physical poses of yoga (asana). She also specializes in teaching Pranayam (Breath work). Pranayam techniques exercise the lungs and calm the body and mind, bringing fresh air and pran energy deep into the lungs and body.
“We will focus on the ‘cleansing' techniques called ‘The 4 Purifications’.

"We will methodically move through the purifications, designed to cleanse and stimulate the chest region, head region, abdominal region and the lower abdominal region. Giving you strength and vitality in these areas. These techniques will take your yoga practice to a new level! We will take advantage of the powerful energy of the ocean and bring it into our beings.”
No experience is necessary to learn these powerful techniques and they are safe for all.

Accommodation

Choose from 3 options at the beautiful Clayoquot Field Station at the Botanical Gardens. This Eco Friendly building is situated on 12 acres of waterfront rainforest and gardens at the gateway to the Clayoquot Sound UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.

Each room has four oversize bunk beds with down duvets, two desks, lockable closets and a window looking out over the rainforest or Tofino Botanical Gardens.

Location

The Pacific Rim, though only a few hours from Vancouver and Seattle, exists in a world of its own. Nestled between ancient rainforest and the wild Pacific Ocean, this spectacular coastline is home to an abundance of natural wonders. At the northern edge of the Pacific Rim National Park lies the quaint, inviting town of Tofino, home to artists and surfers alike. 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.
