I attended Camp Yoga Alberta for the first time a few weeks ago, and honestly, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
Being a first-timer, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I immediately felt welcomed by everyone who had been coming for years. There’s such a genuine sense of community and connection that you somehow become part of it in a very short amount of time.
I also really appreciated the balance of structure and freedom. There are activities scheduled throughout the weekend if you want to participate, but absolutely nothing is mandatory. So if your idea of a perfect weekend is doing yoga, meeting people, joining in on activities and hanging around the campfire, you can do that. And if your idea is disappearing into the woods for three days and communicating exclusively with trees… you can apparently do that too. 😂
There’s something really special about being surrounded by nature, practicing yoga, laughing with new people, and just having the space to slow down and be present. I left after just a short weekend feeling like I had made new connections and was somehow part of a community I had only just discovered.
I’ll definitely be back. 🌲🧘♂️
