Nectar Yoga Retreat - Bowen Island, British Columbia

Nectar was a therapeutic and wonderful experience from start to finish. I felt so taken care of by all of the friendly and thoughtful staff the entire time. Every little detail was thought of! Peaceful music played in my room and in the main lodge, yoga props awaited guests in the yoga dome, deer frolicked in the daisy field as though they were paid actors, breakfast was curated to my specific dietary needs and was beautifully presented and delicious. The chefs were lovely and greeted us and explained what they created for us. Each yoga instructor offered a fresh perspective on yoga and wisdom to take home with me. The classes were accommodating to every skill level.

Nectar is a place to unwind, fully relax, find inner peace, and make connections with other like minded individuals. I would highly recommend a yoga retreat on Nectar to everybody!

I am still glowing after this phenomenal three day yoga retreat at Nectar. The yoga instructors were excellent and I was so impressed with how well curated everything is - the common areas and bedrooms were immaculate and peaceful, delicious breakfasts and so many thoughtful touches around the property to encourage peaceful reflection. I felt well taken care of and was able to let go a lot of the grief and stress that I've been holding for a long time. It was an incredibly nourishing experience. Thank you Andrea and your amazing staff - cannot thank you enough!

Nectar was pure paradise. The attention to every detail, from the welcome tour delivered by Karen (the owner’s mom), to the beautiful cabins, the amazingly thoughtful breakfasts and amazing yoga teachers made this retreat truly spectacular. The added bonus of free time to explore Bowen made this break away from everyday life, everything you could ask for. We will be back.

I joined one of Nectar’s Yoga Experiences this spring; it was a dream come true.

If you’ve been yearning for a place that will allow you to practice yoga while immersed in nature, look no further.

From the small and cozy accommodations (or larger and luxurious, if desired) — to the delectable but healthy breakfasts lovingly created by their fantastic chefs — every aspect has been thoughtfully designed to encourage guests to soften and slow down.

It was lovely to be able to practice in the geodesic dome daily. As someone slightly mysophobic, I appreciated the cleanliness of the props they graciously offer; I didn’t miss my own. Having the talented Andrea as our teacher on Saturday morning felt so special I would attend her classes regularly if only she held them!

I flew solo this time but will happily return with loved ones in the future. Nectar is perfect for those looking for solace but ultimately an oasis meant to be shared.

Had an amazing experience here for the 2 night yoga retreat package in one of the A frame cabins. Everyone was lovely, the yoga and meditation practices were exactly what I needed to unplug from the chaotic city life. The facilities were beautiful and quiet, nestled in what feels like the middle of the forest but it was a quick 7 minute drive to town. Would highly recommend to anyone who needs a relaxing weekend away.

What a truly beautiful place to spend time, I am endlessly thankful for my stay at nectar. It was so beautiful located on a beautiful property. The owner is extremely kind, her mother whom I also interacted with was so proud. Their line of shower products to use were so nice. All the yoga classes were lovely, in a beautiful space. The breakfasts were some of the best I have ever had! Overall truly amazing place to relax.

I initially visited Nectar in the summer of 2022. It provided my first in-person yoga class following the pandemic. For that reason alone it is magical, and will always hold space in my heart. I've just returned from what was my fourth trip to Nectar. I feel so blessed to have this space to turn to when I need time for reflection and restoration. The location, lodging, classes, instructors and staff are world-class. Seriously. Andrea and Satjeet (the owners) have poured their heart and souls into creating this extraordinary retreat, and it shows. I cannot recommend enough!!!

This was literally the best retreat I have ever done. It was a combination of class and relaxation. Such a special little peaceful paradise in the world. I was worried about it being too yogic for me, but it was absolute perfection. The teachers taught all levels and Andreas story telling was mesmerizing. The Mist experience is a must that made this experience incredible. Truly cannot say enough good things.
