Some Frequently Asked Questions:

1. How big is your classroom and how many people can fit for yoga?

The classroom is 750 ft2. It is a carpeted floor, soft purple walls, valuted pine ceiling, and is heated with electric heat registers you can control yourself. There are also ample windows for natural light or for venitlation. Yoga instructors have told us it accomodates up to 22 people comfortably for yoga. For yoga teacher training, with a need for more space to move in and around mats, we recommend no more than 12-14 people. There is a storage closet to hold your mats, blocks and other materials (we do not supplies mats. etc) should you wish to use the classroom for other purposes during your retreat (e.g., movie watching!). Please note that we DO NOT ALLOW candles in the classroom, but we recommend you bring strings of twinkly LED white lights if you are looking to create a certain atmosphere. 

2. What is the maximum number of people you can accommodate?

Yoga retreats are limited more by the number of people that can comfortably fit in the classroom, but not so much by the number of beds available for accommodation. Our ten room lodge can accommodate 26 people at full occupancy in the beds available (and up to 9 more in cots) but this is too large for a yoga retreat if all the folks staying are doing classes together. So -- we recommend limiting students to 22, and together with teachers, caterer or chef and other helpers, we think you will find meeting the 26 person bed occupancy to be best.

3. What kind of kitchen facilities are available for our chef? Or, can you provide a caterer?

You can bring your own caterer or hire one locally! Please ask us for recommendations on Tofino caterers. We provide a commercial kitchen full stocked with plateware, utensils, and cookware which all our caterers have been very happy to work in. Please ask us for more specific details on cookware, serving ware, appliances, etc, if needed.
