About this trip
A taste of Baja at the start of summer. Everything we love about our Cabo retreat, made to fit a weekend on Okanagan Lake: warm water, vineyard hillsides and light until ten at night.
Summerland sits on the west shore of the lake under Giant's Head Mountain, with the wineries of Bottleneck Drive a short ride up the hill. Practice in the morning, browse the Penticton artisan market, then spend the afternoon your way: on the water, on two wheels, in the vineyards or by the lake with a journal. Evenings bring the group back together over dinner, sound healing and a fire.
Small group, co-ed and open to all levels. Every session is optional.

Summerland Waterfront Resort & Spa, Summerland, British ColumbiaAbout your organizer
Baja Wellness Retreat hosts small-group retreats for high performers, depleted doers and anyone standing at a threshold: people ready to invest in themselves, not just take a holiday. Our flagship retreat runs each spring and early winter at Hotel El Ganzo in San José del Cabo, one of Baja's most celebrated boutique hotels and a certified B Corporation. Weekend chapters follow in the Okanagan and the Gulf Islands.
Every retreat weaves together daily yoga, sound healing, ceremony, local culture and unstructured time designed to restore what busy life depletes. This is not a yoga retreat for yogis. It is a life retreat that includes yoga. Come as you are. Leave with clarity, connection and renewed momentum.
