“We travel to cottages with 12 boards, bringing the
whole experience with us,” says Kinden. “People
simply love it. You’re on your board, the waves
lapping beneath you, gently rocking you from side to
side. It’s incredible, so Muskoka, and so very unique.”
In addition to paddleboard sessions, Muskoka Yoga
Studio also offers memorable wellness weekends that
include sunset and candlelit beach yoga. These are
available as private sessions to be experienced with
family and friends, or for groups and events, such as
bachelorette parties and corporate getaways. Everything
needed is provided, including the paddleboards
and lifejackets.
Lakeside Pampering
All of Muskoka’s major resorts have first-rate spas,
and the region boasts numerous private locations
perfect for getting your aromatherapy fix or
pedicure. Best of all, traditional spa packages needn’t
be so traditional, with many resorts stepping up the
spa experience a notch with innovative packages
focusing on whatever seems to be ailing you and
helping you unwind and reconnect.
After all, as Tara Kinden at Muskoka Yoga says:
“That’s what Muskoka is all about. Tranquility, and
building lasting memories. So if you can build a
Muskoka memory that involves the water and sunsets,
that’s a very powerful, unforgettable happy place!”
If you’re looking for a little pampering after that
lakeside workout, you’re in the right place. Muskoka’s
home to numerous world-class spas, many of them
set against some of the most spectacular scenery
you’ll find anywhere. And who wouldn’t feel relaxed
after having a lakeside hot-stone massage? It’s hard
not to feel revitalized in such serene surrounds.
“If you can build a Muskoka
memory that involves the
water and sunsets, that’s a
very powerful, unforgettable
happy place!”
