Movement, Breathwork & Wellness Retreat with Lisa Shelly and Jasmin Shannon | Nectar Yoga

The Movement, Breathwork & Wellness Retreat is a wellness retreat on Bowen Island, British Columbia, led by Lisa Shelly and Jasmin Shannon. It is held at Nectar Yoga Retreat and suits anyone who wants a few days of movement and conscious breathing, away from the pace of the city.

What to Expect

The retreat brings together movement and breathwork in a wellness setting. Lisa Shelly and Jasmin Shannon guide the practices, and the group gathers for the weekend or days in a small, retreat-style community.

Retreats at Nectar are independently run by visiting teachers and facilitators, each shaping their own program. Others hosted in the same space tend to be unhurried, with room for rest between sessions, time outdoors and a focus on settling the nervous system rather than pushing hard. Lisa and Jasmin set the particular rhythm and content of this one.

The Setting

Nectar Yoga Retreat sits on Bowen Island, known as Nexwlélexwm, in Howe Sound. The island is about 20 minutes from Vancouver, so it is easy to reach for a retreat without a long journey. Practices at Nectar often take place in its geodesic yoga dome, among cedar and fir forest, with the ocean nearby.

Nectar describes its community retreats as a chance to learn from practitioners with established expertise and a commitment to integrity and sustainability. They are meant for people looking for balance, a rooted connection within themselves and a sense of meaningful community.
