Hike & Yoga

Bask in the magic of Gatineau Park with a hike and yoga class with new friends!

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 to begin their adventure or find companions to join. With Cat as your guide, you can count on a warm welcome, friendly group dynamic, a comfortable hiking pace and an engaging yoga practice. Cat's goal is to empower you with each step.

You will enjoy hiking on a beginner/intermediate trail, some plant identification, an all-levels outdoor yoga class and meditation, and being in community with other nature enthusiasts.

Welcome to a practice focused on deepening your connection with nature, and nurturing personal growth.

Each week will be a little bit different - whether that’s because of the group, or the weather, the yoga practice or the trail. Generally, we will be hiking on Trail 1, the backbone of Gatineau Park. Please register at least 24 hours in advance to allow for planning purposes.
