Programm
Imagine yourself experiencing the peace and serenity of nature with great company, while balancing your mind body and spirit on a yoga vacation getaway. This experience is a fine balance between a stand up paddling adventure and a yoga retreat at the Edge of Algonquin Park.
Begin, transform, or deepen your yoga practice with daily guided classes in the cradle of Northern Edge Algonquin’s eco-retreat. The gentle and understanding yoga and adventure facilitators will bring you to the edge to try something new, with stand-up paddleboard instruction for women and men of any experience level on scenic Kawawaymog Lake.
Standing at full height on a SUP board, you’ll enjoy once-in-a-lifetime views of everything from Algonquin Park wildlife to what’s on the horizon. It’s like walking on water! If you’re feeling adventurous, take your yoga off the mat and onto the board with an introduction to practicing yoga on the water.
A true quest for balance
Practice sun salutations as the mist rises on the water at the yoga platform. Challenge your core with warrior pose on stand up paddle boards and root with your tree pose on a small island in the middle of the lake, listening to breezes blow through towering white pines. In the evening, sweat your prayers in the wood
fired sauna; an ancient and universal form of self-healing, balancing the active yang practice of the days adventures with a restorative Yin practice.

Lage
Algonquin Park
Algonquin Park is often referred to as the Gem of the Ontario Parks system. Ontario’s oldest and largest provincial park, Algonquin, is often thought of as a National Park - perhaps owing to its original name - Algonquin National Park of Ontario (est. 1893). In survey after survey, Algonquin Park is continually listed 2nd (behind only Banff National Park) as Canadians' Most Priceless National Park.
Each year Algonquin Park hosts over 800,000 visitors. Most visitors stick to the Algonquin Parks Highway 60 corridor and check out the visitor center or hike a trail.
Guests at eco-lodges and resorts like Northern Edge Algonquin go off-the-beaten track and discover the magic of Algonquin on 3-4 day all-inclusive guided explorer packages.
Algonquin Park was originally only accessible by train from Toronto. Today, Algonquin Park is accessible by public transit with Ontario Northland, making this part of Algonquin Park (Access Point 1 - Kawawaymog Lake) accessible from downtown Toronto’s Bay Street station.
Sadly, the Northlander Train from Union Station is no longer in service, but their bus service still brings people to the park daily.

Whether North or Southbound, you are recommended to stay on the highway until South River and exit via Mountain View Road. “Waze” in particular seems to direct guests on indirect and confusing logging roads.
Once on Chemical Road, cellular service will be interrupted but your GPS may continue to work — either way, keep your eyes peeled for our posted signage which should help to direct you.
