Tiina Kivinen
Tiina has over 15 years of experience guiding yoga experiences, retreats, and trainings. She has specialization in a variety of yogic modalities. See her full bio and trainings here.
It is one of her passions in life to come together with others, in the spirit of Yoga, self-inquiry, healing, and connection. Tiina loves curating retreat experiences that deepen our experience of Yoga in transformational ways, cultivating practices and ways of being that support thriving in life. Holding space alongside Fraser is a dream come true, as he is a truly wonderful friend and teacher!
Fraser Mcdonald
Fraser has been practising and teaching yoga, tai-chi, and meditation for over 18 years. In 2010 he fell in love with Kirtan, or meditative chanting, and at the request of his then teacher, he has been leading chants ever since. He has studied, chanted, and offered classes and retreats across Canada, as well as in India and Europe. These practices have helped him heal from two serious accidents, manage chronic pain, and most importantly, they have revealed a space of profound peace within his own heart. Depending on the need, or joy, of the moment, he has explored everything from the gentlest to most vigorous styles of yoga, as well as many different meditation paths and teachers. There truly is a yoga, tai chi, and meditation practice for everyone. It is his great love to study these different forms, and to offer practices that are intuitively tailored to whoever joins his classes and retreats. He also offers Bio-Dynamic Cranial Sacral Therapy, which can be profoundly helpful for relaxing and nourishing the nervous system, as well as bringing health to the physical, emotional, mental, and energetic bodies.
~Some Words from Past Retreat Participants~
Going on Yoga Retreat with Tiina was the best money I have ever spent. I cannot explain fully how it has restored every ounce of my being to wholeness.

It was my first time at a retreat and I really enjoyed it, it was worth every penny! Yoga Nidra, morning yogas, food, massage, music, meditation walk, all of it and the socializing with a warm and friendly group of people. I came away feeling happy, inspired, and optimistic about embracing yoga as a lifestyle. I feel the benefits from that weekend are long lasting – I am surprised that I still feel them nearly 2 weeks later! So some sort of shift took place for me, but I feel I need to keep the momentum going by being mindful and practicing yoga on a regular basis.

It is through your leadership Tiina, that we are all able to explore, inquire, and experience, within your loving and caring guidance. Thank you for always sharing your love, support and wisdom with all of us. You always provide such a safe and non judging environment, which is why it is always such an honour and pleasure having these kinds of experiences with you.

The retreat was beautiful in many ways – the vegetarian food, the accommodations, the massage, the walking paths, the weather, the moon, the fire, the music, the relaxation, and of course “the practice of yoga” …..and on…., but most of all – the feeling of warmth, discovery, community and compassion in the diverse group of human beings who came together! For me personally it was a positive re-enforcement for the journey I have been on for the past few years and this was the perfect place and time to experience a sampling of the opportunities that lie ahead on the pathway to enlightenment and simplicity in this life…..many thanks for this!
