Led by male and female co-facilitators Navin (Namaste Nav) and Lauri (SHE Ventures), this retreat combines strength and softness through daily yoga practices — from grounding hatha and strong slow flow to restorative yin and yoga nidra.

Guests will enjoy full access to the beautiful Amaru Wellness Resort, a remote beachfront sanctuary offering tranquility, comfort, and connection with nature. Between practices, relax by the pool, sway in a hammock, or indulge in optional spa treatments.

Optional excursions include surf lessons, a sea turtle release, volcano hikes, and volcano boarding, perfect for those craving adventure alongside rest and reflection. From sunrise meditations to bonfire circles under the stars, this retreat is designed to help you reconnect — to your body, your breath, and your soul.

Nav Vaswani

Nav's a certified 200-hour yoga instructor who's found a home on his mat. To take a class with him is to enjoy any and all movement our bodies allow us to explore, and to truly unite with your breath. With a focus on mindfulness and intentional breathing, the goal is to leave a class with Nav more connected in mind, body, and spirit - all via the breath.

A former journalist, Nav spent the last 12-plus years working in sports media before transitioning full time to the yoga, wellness, and mindfulness space. Originally from Toronto, you can find him teaching all over Georgian Bay in Ontario: in Thornbury at Mantra Yoga, in Collingwood at Cedarwood Wellness Studio, the Northwood Club, and Everlove, as well as in Wasaga Beach at Wasaga Beach Yoga. His goal is to bring more men on to yoga mats and into the mindfulness space, and to one day own a yoga studio.

Off the mat, Nav loves reading books from the Collingwood and Toronto public libraries, black coffee, running, and watching the Toronto Blue Jays win the World Series. Namaste 😊
