Experience the magic of five consecutive mornings of yoga and meditation with Morning Yoga by the Lake — an unforgettable urban yoga retreat just 25km from Montreal. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of sunrise over Lac Saint-Louis, each session builds on the previous one to create a deeply transformational experience for body, mind, and spirit.
We gather at dawn near Pointe-Claire Village and unroll our mats facing the rising sun. The day begins with conscious breathing and a guided meditation, followed by a slow and steady Ayurvedic yoga workshop. Each class takes a therapeutic approach, allowing for deep release, self-inquiry, and alignment.
After relaxation, enjoy a nourishing picnic breakfast featuring fresh fruit, savoury dishes, muffins, and hot tea or coffee. Vegan and gluten-free options are always available. Need to leave early? We’re happy to pack your breakfast to go.
