Because I’m from Canada, I’m so proud so to say that Canada has a Sivananda yoga center. Although I don’t practice Sivananda yoga it still holds a dear place in my heart. No spandex is allowed (only baggy loose clothing, covering knees and shoulders) and karma yoga is a big part of the deal here. Just by assessing on those two aspects alone one can conclude, it certainly isn’t a fashion show and they understand the power of giving. It was founded in 1962 and 50 years later they’re still going strong. There is a long list of rules to follow, so keep an open mind. There is a busy calendar year planned with many events and workshops.
Dates: ongoing
Cost: $120-$300 per person per night- of course this depends on choice of room and length of stay.
A holistic Wellness Retreat Center
Reviews: The ratings on tripadvisor sit at 87% and they’ve had a whooping 193 reviews! The pros: Great way to experience the outdoors- free snowshoeing and other activities. The rooms are luxurious with no wear and tear and large in size, friendly happy staff. The negatives: some people were really unhappy about not having air conditioning in a five star resort. They serve mostly vegan and some raw food, they don’t give you alot of other options- some people weren’t prepared for that.
Cost: $200-$225 per person per night. Includes yoga and detox drinks.
Choose from a wide variety of services here, including detoxing, weightloss, Kripalu Yoga, stress management, Reiki, Spiritual healing, massage, reflexology and saunas just to name a few. David Gouveia and Ms. Mano McNabb are the founders of Nonpariel and the estate, both have many years experience and bring a great combination of skills to the retreat.

Many of the guests are regulars who return annually or even more frequently.
Reviews: This sits at 100% for ratings on tripadvisor. The location is perfect, not too far from the Toronto and Ottawa but yet far enough away from that it’s peaceful and serene. Property is beautiful and private and available for hiking. Hosts are Julianna and Mary and make guests feel right at home, and boy can they cook vegetarian food!
