ACCOMMODATION
The hot yoga retreat in Canada will be hosted by Arianna at Seven Cedars Retreat. The 3-story A-frame, exposed-beam home blends luxury and comfort with authentic West Coast living. Set privately on one acre and bordered mostly by crown land, the property is surrounded by pure nature and is a 10-minute walk from the ocean.
