Yoga & Wellness Retreats: Where Aliveness Meets Ease

At The August House, we host yoga retreats and wellness retreats in Nova Scotia that feel as good as they look: ease-filled, beautifully designed and deeply nourishing from start to finish. Located in Windsor, just 50 minutes from Halifax, our boutique retreat space is designed for facilitators seeking an intimate, high-vibe setting to gather, move and reconnect. Whether you're planning a yoga retreat, meditation weekend or holistic wellness experience, this is a place where your people soften, exhale and settle into something real, together.

A house that holds all of you

Hosting your retreat at TAH means having the entire property to yourselves – all 11 beautifully designed rooms, 15 beds, and every cozy nook and light-filled gathering space.

It’s your private sanctuary for the weekend:

Lillian Hall – our 1,000 sq. ft. movement and meditation space

Two common lounges – including a dreamy third-floor writer’s lounge

Front terrace gardens – perfect for morning intention-setting

Two cedar saunas and firepits for slow, end-of-day unwinding

A timber-framed outdoor pavilion – large enough for open-air yoga (weather willing)

Nothing here feels rustic.
Everything feels like retreating in style.

food that feels like a hug

For yoga & wellness retreats, we take food off your plate – literally and figuratively.

Our team prepares nourishing, plant-forward meals that are both grounding and energizing, crafted with the kind of care people taste.

Think:
Baked oatmeal with warm spices

Build-your-own bowls layered with whole grains and vibrant veggies

Curries, soups, and beautiful salads

Bottomless tea and water, always refreshed

Meals are served with warmth, rhythm and ease so you can stay fully present in your facilitation.

We’re there during key windows throughout the weekend to keep things flowing:
