2026
Two extraordinary retreats. One near Vancouver. One in the Okanagan. Both designed to help you rest, reconnect, and return home feeling genuinely restored.
Open to women from Kelowna · Vancouver · Victoria · Calgary · Edmonton · Victoria · Okanagan and across Canada
Nectar Yoga Retreat
Bowen Island
A 3-day women's yoga and wellness retreat inside a hand-built geodesic dome on Bowen Island, BC — just a 20-minute ferry from Vancouver. Small group. Deep rest. Real connection.
Sparkling Hill
Luxury Yoga Retreat
A 4-day luxury women's yoga and spa retreat at Sparkling Hill Resort & Spa in Vernon, BC — perched above Okanagan Lake with panoramic mountain views. Yoga, spa, fine dining, and deep restoration.
You Cannot Pour From an Empty Cup
A retreat is not a luxury. It is maintenance. When you give yourself 3–4 days of intentional rest, movement and community — you come back changed.
Daily Yoga & Meditation
Morning movement and evening restore — designed to work with your nervous system, not push through it.
Sound Healing
Crystal singing bowls, vibration and deep restoration with Julie McCormick — registered nurse and certified sound healer.
Real Sisterhood
These retreats attract remarkable women from across BC and Alberta. You will leave with friends you didn't expect.
Sam Hogue
Kelowna-based yoga teacher, lululemon ambassador, sound healer and founder of Love Elevate. Sam has guided thousands of women across BC and Alberta through movement, meditation and personal growth. Her retreats are known for being warm, deeply nourishing, and transformative without being overwhelming.
Meet Sam →Yoga Retreat FAQs
Are these retreats suitable for beginners?
Yes — all levels are warmly welcome. Both retreats are designed for rest and restoration, not performance. You don't need any prior yoga experience.
Can I attend if I'm coming from Vancouver, Calgary or Victoria?
Absolutely. Love Elevate retreats draw women from across BC and Alberta. Bowen Island is 20 minutes by ferry from West Vancouver. Sparkling Hill in Vernon is ~4.5 hours from Calgary and ~4.5 hours from Vancouver.
What is a typical day on a Love Elevate retreat?
Days begin with morning yoga and breakfast, followed by free time for the spa, journaling or rest. Afternoons include a workshop or sound healing session. Evenings feature a shared dinner and a gentle group practice or circle.
How many spots are available?
Both retreats are intentionally small — typically 12–18 women — to ensure an intimate, high-quality experience. Spots sell out quickly. Secure yours early.
Is travel included?
Travel to and from the retreat location is not included. Sam can advise on the easiest routes and carpooling options once you book.
