one-day retreat
Relive the retreat experience in the city by carving out some time for you. Yoga retreats are an opportunity to rest, relax and destress, however, it’s not possible for everyone to take an entire weekend away from the kids or a full week off work. This one-day urban getaway will give you that retreat feeling - totally blissed out and energized - while staying close to home. A warm drink welcomes you into the space as we open with intention setting and quiet journalling. Free time after lunch will allow you the space to reflect, journal some more, or walk through High Park. Return for an afternoon of ultimate relaxation with Hot Stone Restorative Yoga before heading home fully recharged. No flights needed, no vacation days used 😉 It’s the perfect solution that requires less time and less money.

Grateful Yogis
PERFECTLY EXECUTED
“I absolutely loved every moment of Jaffer's one day retreat experience in Toronto. The entire day was so perfectly executed from start to finish and I truly felt like I went away on vacation somewhere to relax, unwind and go inward. The team behind the café were also amazing — from the warm greeting with my matcha to the beautifully plated lunch and vegan treats, they really thought of everything to make it a memorable experience. The blend of thoughtful discussion, reflection, journaling and yoga from Jaffer had me feeling blissed out when walking out the door that afternoon. This was the perfect way to transition into a new season and get to spend the day with some amazing like-minded humans while slowing down and connecting with myself.”

JAFFER HUSSAIN
Jaffer is a Yoga Instructor who believes that yoga has nothing to do with touching your head to your knees, loosening up your hamstrings or balancing upside down. A strong yoga practice is about generating qualities that can’t be measured by physical prowess - qualities like love, patience, kindness and compassion. He encourages students to develop these qualities for themselves on the mat to enhance their lives off of it. That’s yoga!
JUSTIN HALEY
Justin has been curious about Yog since 2003 after discovering the practice during his undergraduate years at the University of Toronto. It wasn’t until his own personal experience with cancer in 2007, however, did his relationship to the practice evolve into a profound and passionate commitment. This life experience led Justin to Nashik, India where he truly began studying and integrating yogic teachings at Yog Vidya Gurukal. Seeing and continuing to experience the transformative healing qualities of the practice, Justin dedicates his life now to helping others on their own yogic journey.
