Escape to nature and nourish your body, mind and soul during the tranquil winter season.
Centre de Vie is nestled in the hills of the Outaouais in Quebec and boasts amazing delicious vegetarian food (Chef Monique is the best!), comfortable accommodations, an unforgettable yoga space, and a unique dry sauna. The centre is conveniently located an hour from downtown Ottawa and is on 216 acres of forest and lake. Snowshoes are available to explore the trails and enjoy winter forest bathing through the pristine woodland.
You will have time to curl up with a great book in the loft or connect with other yogis in the sauna. Our yoga practices will be both accessible and rejuvenating - a balance of yin & yang. You will be part of a small group - purposely intimate to provide you with more individual attention and space to listen to your own body.
A perfect getaway to fill your cup!
