Inspire + Awaken Spring 2026
Inspire + Awaken Venue, Sunset House Pacific Sands Beach Resort
Located beachfront in spectacular Cox Bay, Pacific Sands Beach Resort is one of the most beloved Vancouver Island resorts—a place where families return year after year, couples find connection, and surfers chase the perfect wave. The Resort also loves yoga, offering complementary beach yoga June - September.
Nestled in old-growth forests and powered by the melodic sound of the Pacific Ocean, Pacific Sands Beach Resort is the perfect convergence of land, sea, and simple pleasures. Retreat participants stay in one bedroom Oceanside suites complete with full kitchens. The Sunset House is a scenic walk approximately 10 min away. A private sanctuary, Retreat guests enjoy exclusive use of the Sunset House and its amenities. Step out onto the expansive 1,200 sq. ft. deck for apres yoga mornings, sunset lounging or starlit soaks in your private hot tub. A cedar barrel sauna with its own ocean view adds to the experience. Perfect for Retreats, the Sunset House is coastal luxury at its finest—your private front-row seat to some of the world’s most unforgettable sunsets.
Meet Your Host, Heidi MacPherson
Heidi has been part of the evolution of Pacific Sand Beach Resort's Yoga and Wellness programs since 2017. Her teachings are earth-based, anchored in her Daoist cultural roots as well as the traditional teachings of yoga. She is inspired by the shift of seasons. “I love the awakening of Early Spring, a collective waxing pulse that witnesses new growth, the arrival of Spring birds and the medicine of the changing tides.” With over 2000 hours of supplemental training in addition to her certified E-500 Registered Yoga Alliance certification, expect her classes to be skillfully sequenced and supportive, accompanied by live music: harp, harmonium and percussion.
