Hike & Yoga
in Gatineau Park with Cat Doyle
2026 Saturday afternoons
September 12, 19, 26
October 10, 24
Bask in the nature magic of Gatineau Park with a guided hike and yoga class!
Cat Doyle adores Gatineau Park! Throughout the seasons, she embraces skiing and snowshoeing in the winter and delights in hiking, running, swimming, and volunteering in the summer. Cat's deep familiarity with the trails and Park etiquette makes her eager to share this passion with others.
Gatineau Park holds a special magic, yet many people feel unsure of how and where to begin their adventure, or finding companions to share it with. With Cat as your guide, you can count on a warm welcome, friendly group dynamic, a comfortable hiking pace and an engaging yoga practice.
During each session, you will enjoy a guided hike on a beginner/intermediate trail - including plant identification, geology, and history,- a seasonally crafted beverage, an all-levels outdoor yoga class, and being in community with other nature enthusiasts.
Welcome to a movement practice focused on deepening your connection with nature.
