Press Pause — The Island Retreat

INTENTIONAL REST BEGINS HERE

There is power in taking a pause...

...your nervous system has been waiting for this

ALL LEVELS,

NO PRESSURE

Hosted at Nectar Yoga

Bowen Island, BC

​

14-16 Oct 2026

This one is for you...

Permission to slow down

No to-do list. No deliverables. Just you, exactly as you are. This retreat the only thing you need to be is present.

Community IS medicine

Co-regulation is the idea that we're wired to settle in the presence of others — not because everyone around you is calm, but because you're not doing the work in isolation.

Deep rest without guilt

Reclaim the art of doing nothing. Silence the inner critic that says rest must be earned, and simply receive.

Leave differently

Carry the stillness of Bowen Island home with you. This isn't just an escape; it's a intentional recalibration of the spirit.

Created with your nervous system in mind

"Yaar" is friend in Hindi. Because we believe that the best things in life — rest, healing, growth — happen better together.

Yaara exists because we know that showing up for yourself is easier when you're not doing it alone.

Words from the community...

"Simran created such a comforting and welcoming space during the yoga class I attended. Despite being as stiff and inflexible as they come, she made me feel completely at ease and encouraged throughout. Her class thought me that yoga is so much more than just a physical workout - the class brought so much calm and clarity to my mind. I left feeling motivated to continue practicing and that’s all thanks to her guidance and energy."

MATTHEW O.

"Simran cultivates an energy that is difficult to find in most studios - challenging yet meditative. Because you know you are in good hands, you will find yourself pushing your own limits, mentally and physically."

NICOLE Q.

“The community circle and loving-kindness meditation during her spring wellness event were incredibly powerful, and I left feeling more grounded, open-hearted, and connected, both with myself and others.”
