Ready to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and recharge your mind, body, and spirit? Join me and my fitness colleague Katarina Simons for “A Day in the Country,” a one-day fitness retreat in picturesque Mono, Ontario, just a short 90-minute drive north of Toronto.

The venue is a breathtaking 30-acre country estate with a huge pool, stunning vistas, plenty of sunny and shaded relaxation spots, and grassy areas perfect for yoga and Pilates. It’s the perfect place to exercise, unwind and reconnect with nature.

Last year’s event hosted a wonderful group of people from Oakville to Collingwood. We can’t wait to share this year’s experience with you!

Schedule

  • Nordic walk/hike the Bruce Trail, one of Canada’s most famous hiking trails.

  • Yoga flow class. Stretch, tone and mobilize your joints and muscles.

    Lunch (healthy and fresh options prepared by a local caterer)

  • Aqua fitness class. Cool off with a refreshing and energizing water workout.

  • Nordic walk/hike in Mono Mills Provincial Park with its fascinating rock formations, vibrant wildflowers, and diverse plant life.

 (Note: All fitness activities are novice to intermediate level.) 

 Why you should attend

  • Once you arrive there’s no driving! Everything, including hiking trails, are easily accessible from our venue.

  • You’ll meet new friends. Some people come on their own, an some with a friend or two. Everyone’s friendly and happy to meet new people.

  • You’ll love the location. The home, landscaping, and amenities make you feel you’re at a high end spa.
