"I Want More from Life" Ayurveda & Yoga Retreat - 2025

“I Want More From Life” Ayurveda & Yoga Retreat

Overcome what’s holding you back and reclaim your direction in life.

The “Right Door” will not open until you are the version of yourself who is meant to walk through it.

This Ayurveda and Yoga Retreat is an experiential, immersive retreat open to all who are ready to commit to a happier, healthier life.

This is not your typical relax and renew retreat, this is a transformational experience. By attending this educational, five-day intensive, you will understand yourself on a deeper level, closing the gap between who you are now and who you want to be. You will leave with physical, mental, and energetic tools on how to move forward feeling vibrant and healthy.

In this packed 5 day weekend, you will uncover:

• Your unique constitution, honoring your strengths and the gifts you have to offer
• Strategic movement and yoga asana practices to release abundant energy, clarity, and focus.
• Morning meditation and breathwork practice to purify the body and align your energy
• How food affects your mood and can be used as mental health medicine
• Daily habits to promote your unique optimal health
• How your thoughts create your reality and root cause psychology
• Your soul aligned desire uniquely assigned to you
• How to accelerate the embodiment of your highest authentic self through powerful activations 
• Tools to manifest the future you want

Come prepared to learn, grow and play!

NOTE: Please note that our retreats are geared towards adults. We are currently unable to accommodate youth under the age of 18 in our programs, with the exception of our Annual Community Yoga Retreat.

Schedule*Abhyanga is a therapy from Ayurveda that includes application of an abundant amount of warm herb infused oil throughout the body. It not only nourishes the skin, it is a massage of your internal body systems and organs, it’s a journey we go on together to allow channels to open up and healing to begin or flourish.

** This event is optional though strongly encouraged as there will be a journaling exercise and group activation meditation. This hike is rated easy to accommodate the fitness level of all participants. The hike – and travel to and from the trail – are not insured as part of the retreat at the Salt Spring Centre of Yoga. 

***It is recommended (and deeply appreciated) to attend the closing circle to share out loud with the group your closing thoughts from the weekend, the ritual of ending something together and feeling complete.

Testimonials:

“Attending I Want More from Life Retreat was an absolutely transformative experience.

It was so much more than I imagined it would be. I left after 4 days feeling energized, fulfilled and excited for the future. The combination of yoga, meditation, and Ayurvedic practices brought me a renewed sense of peace and balance. The Salt Spring Centre for Yoga is gorgeous, the perfect setting for relaxation and reflection. The vegetarian food at the centre exceeded all my expectations, simply 5 star!

The people in the group were incredible – we had a great connection and we’re already talking about attending Natasha’s future retreats together. I’m so happy I made the decision to attend this retreat—it was truly life-changing, and I can’t recommend it enough!” ~Leah Nishi

“I now have a clearer vision of what I want to invite into my life. Natasha is a keen observer and didn’t miss any details to make us individually feel heard and seen during our time together.

I recently took a 4 day, ‘I Want More from Life’, Ayurveda and Yoga group retreat with Natasha at the Salt Spring Yoga Center and came out feeling nourished and supported. She thoughtfully choreographed the entire experience with a balance of Ayurveda teachings on our unique constitution, the importance of healing foods, yoga asanas, breathing practices, meditation and modern psychology to form a wholistic approach to well-being. I now have the tools to help me continue the daily practices I learned during the retreat. Thank you, Natasha!” ~Valerie W.

“Natasha, with the skill of an alchemist, melted together ancient yogic principles, modern psychology and Ayurvedic principles of health and living into a beautiful package!

The workshop was a transformational weekend. There was time for learning, reflection, great food, yoga and fun!! A great way to spend time at season change to reset goals and aspirations for future work.” ~Donna C.

“I departed from the retreat not just with a sense of lightness, but also with my heart brimming with love and joy.

I’ve just returned from an enlightening retreat where Natasha was a co-host, and I must say, her expertise in Ayurveda truly shines through in every aspect of her work. Her love and passion are palpable, infusing each offering with a special kind of energy. Natasha’s guidance in a divinely inspiring yoga meditation session was a game-changer for me. It was as if she had a sixth sense for detecting and helping to clear away the blockages that weighed me down. Thank you!” ~Linda C.

“Natasha has an exceptional ability to read the room and adapt her presentation to the needs of participants. She has a deep understanding of the Ayurvedic wisdom tradition and a palpable desire to share what she knows, with a ‘servant’s heart’.

Her workshops are logically organized and with a gentle flow she moves the group through unfamiliar terrain using information, example and practice. Every detail of the retreat was thoughtfully arranged to subtly reinforce concepts and the feeling of living life with the benefit of being in sync with the body’s natural rhythms. Natasha is a fiery and compassionate leader with so much to offer the ‘student of contentment’. If you have the chance to spend time with her, and accept her extraordinary offerings you will be very fortunate and grateful as I am.” ~H. Lake
