Our inaugural Whistler Yoga & Wine Holiday was a sold out event and it went great! \u00a0The drive up was nice and easy and as pretty as always. \u00a0I checked in and set up the Yoga room which we had to ourselves for the whole weekend.\u00a0 It overlooked the mountains and the hot tub.\u00a0 It was pretty as the steam from the hot tub would occasionally rise up and make the mountains look a little foggy.\u00a0 We had our first Yoga class at 4:15.\u00a0 We all introduced ourselves.\u00a0 This trip was all women which was fun!\u00a0 Most just were wanting a nice little getaway from the families and dogs (puppies).\u00a0 Some came up with their friends or daughters and some came alone.\u00a0 Just some \u201cme\u201d time to chill out and relax and not have to worry about anything.\u00a0 And we did that the whole weekend!<\/p>\n
About half the group of us all went out for sushi the first night at Sushi Village.\u00a0 They never disappoint.\u00a0 Dinner (and the sake!) was all perfect.\u00a0 The rest of the group all went out and did their own thing which was totally fine.\u00a0 Whistler has soooooo many great restaurants.\u00a0 And I wanted everyone to feel comfortable and have the options to do as little or as much with the group as they\u2019d like to.<\/p>\n
I brought 6 bottled scents from my smelling kit to dinner and we played a game where they had to guess what scents they were.\u00a0 Of course, these are all scents that you might notice when smelling your wines.\u00a0 So, we were getting a little warmed up for the wine tasting event the next evening.\u00a0 The winner won a little prize from me.\u00a0 Some of the gals were quite competitive I have to say!\u00a0 In a good way.\u00a0 It made for some good laughs!!\u00a0 J<\/p>\n
Then we finished off the night with the Restorative Yoga class.\u00a0 I give foot massages, back massages and lots of hands on adjustments throughout the class.\u00a0 It\u2019s super relaxing and a great way to end off the evening.\u00a0 Then off to a deep sleep.<\/p>\n
The rooms at the Crystal Lodge have all recently been renovated.\u00a0 They\u2019re just perfect.\u00a0 Comfy beds, new everything.\u00a0 I was very pleased and very comfortable.\u00a0 Everyone agreed.<\/p>\n
The next morning we started the day off with a morning Flow Yoga class to get the body warmed up and ready for the big day ahead of us.\u00a0 Then off to Stonesedge for breakfast.\u00a0 Eggs benny totally yum!\u00a0 After that we all went and did different things.\u00a0 Some of the ladies had massages booked and some had manis and pedis booked.\u00a0 Some went to the Scandinave Spa.\u00a0 I went with a few of the ladies to the Argentinian Wine Tasting seminar.\u00a0 That was very informative and we drank many (12 I think!) different wines.\u00a0 I couldn\u2019t drink them ALL since I still had to teach the 4:00 Yoga class!\u00a0 But I did sip each one and wrote down a few faves.<\/p>\n
Then a deep stretch Yoga class at 4:00.\u00a0 Dinner was early at Wild Wood, right in our hotel.\u00a0 Very delicious.\u00a0 And then off to the main event!\u00a0 The Cornucopia Wine Tasting event was FABULOUS!\u00a0 We had \u201cearly entrance\u201d tickets which got us in 45 minutes before most everyone else so no lineups at all!\u00a0 And we all got champagne and caviar as well.\u00a0 Such a treat.\u00a0 It was a beautiful set up inside with so many wines from all over.\u00a0 And lots of little snacky things in case you needed a little something; olives, cheeses, crackers and a great meat station from one of the local restaurants.\u00a0 And even when they did let the masses in, the waits weren\u2019t long at all.\u00a0 Maybe only 2 or 3 people in front of you.\u00a0 It didn\u2019t seem like too many people which was really nice.\u00a0 (Sometimes events like these get oversold but this one didn\u2019t).<\/p>\n
They had a Liberty liquor store there just outside of the event where you could purchase some of the wines that you liked.\u00a0 I did buy 6 bottles!\u00a0 Thank goodness our hotel was only a few minute\u2019s walk away!<\/p>\n
A great night\u2019s sleep and one more early morning Yoga class, which surprisingly, almost everyone came to!\u00a0 We all hugged each other goodbye.\u00a0 And a few of us went for one more breakfast together.<\/p>\n
I did not want to leave Whistler at all!\u00a0 There were so many more events happening there throughout the week and the next weekend.\u00a0 Next year for sure we\u2019re going to offer this trip both weekends and it\u2019s very possible I just might stay up there the whole time!<\/p>\n
Hope to see you next year.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
