Yoga & River Nature Escape in British Columbia

The retreat runs over three days and two nights, with up to six yoga sessions spread across the stay. Classes include Hatha, Yin, Vinyasa, Power, Restorative, and Meditation/Pranayama, taught by a rotating roster of instructors from around the world. Sessions happen on two outdoor yoga stages—one at the river’s edge, one perched above the rapids—so you’re practicing with the sound of moving water underneath you.

Each day includes a guided activity. There’s a guided canyon hike along the Nahatlatch Canyon, which is included in the package, plus self-guided nature trails you can walk on your own. Evenings revolve around the campfire and the hot tub, and on Monday and Wednesday nights there’s a social hour with wine and appetizers on the dining deck. The vibe is friendly and low-key; you can join in or keep to yourself.

All meals are included—five in total across the three days—served on the river-view dining deck. The food is described as delicious, healthy, and varied, with standard meat options plus vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free choices. Lots of locally sourced vegetables, and locally harvested salmon when it’s in season.

The retreat is family-run and has been going for over 38 years. The founder, Bryan Fogelman, discovered the Nahatlatch in the early 1980s and started REO with just a couple of rafts. The resort now has 18 glamping tents, a private beach, a hammock garden, and a long list of guest reviews praising the location and the staff. It’s won the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence four years running and has been named one of Canada’s top 40 adventure experiences.
