A PRIVATE HOME IN TORONTO (Yonge & Summerhill area)  
HOST & YOGA TEACHER : KATHY PARSONS @KATHPARSONS, THE SANTOSHA LIFE 
VENUE HOST & CHEF:  LISA BLACK @lmichelle.black
INVESTMENT: $50 + 13% HST ($6) = $56
*We have reserved a couple of spots for a reduced fee. Reach out if you'd like to come but financial constraints are in the way.
This mini urban retreat is designed to recharge your batteries with a powerful yoga nidra meditation, nourish the body with teas and have the opportunity to connect with community. 

Kathy will guide you through a gentle warm-up followed by a yoga nidra meditation where you will unwind the mind and relax the body. 

Nidra, a Sanskrit term meaning "yogic sleep" is a deep relaxation technique and a form of meditation. With the body completely relaxed,  It is said that 20 minutes of a yoga nidra practice has the benefits of 2 hours of sleep! (yes please!)

Nestled away on a beautiful street in Toronto, Lisa's home is a magic oasis. We'll be practicing breathwork and yoga nidra meditation in a cozy space and enjoy tea and conversation by the fire. 

This workshop will host a maximum of 8 guests. We look forward to sharing this special wellness reset with you!

“Kathy's one-day retreats are like a bit-sized vacation for the body, mind, and soul. When you can't pick up and leave for a week or you need to get back before dinnertime to be there for your family, this offers the perfect solution to the mindful wellness seeker. Flow, connect, nourish, stretch, restore, and breathe before heading back into the demands of daily life. "

​The one-day retreat was a great, accessible opportunity to focus on wellness and to move, reflect, and reconnect. The whole experience was warm, welcoming and really fun. Perfect start to fall!
