Four Days of Rest, Ritual & Renewal in Golden, BCAugust 21-24, 2026
Quantum Leaps lodge
Nestled in the heart of the awe-inspiring Canadian Rockies, this retreat offers a unique opportunity to reconnect with the quiet, powerful rhythms of nature. It’s a space to slow down, breathe deeply, and open yourself to the wisdom that lies in the stillness of the mountains.
Here, surrounded by the wild beauty of the land, you’ll find the space to listen, reflect, re-discover, and awaken to the energy that flows through you.
Join Tania Vazquez, 500hr Registered Yoga Teacher and Continued Education Provider, and Kris Elaschuk, Classical Yogi, Master Herbalist, and Sonic Alchemist, for an immersive journey ushered by the wisdom of Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether. Over four nourishing days, you’ll be guided through practices that gently peel back layers and reconnect you with your innate wisdom.
This immersive retreat is a blend of soulful practices like classical Kundalini yoga, Phyto-aroma journeys, sound and movement, and sacred ceremonies that reconnect you with nature’s most primal energies. Each day unfolds with intention, spaciousness, and reverence for both the inner and outer landscapes.
What You’ll Experience
✨ Somatic Movement & Sound Journeys. Move from a place of deep inner awareness as you release stored tension and reconnect with the natural rhythm of your body. Through somatic movement, you’ll tap into the wisdom held in your muscles and joints, unlocking a sense of freedom and flow. Let the sounds wash over you, carrying you into a space of stillness, harmony, and rejuvenation.
🌱 Phyto-Aroma Journey. Surrender to the gentle yet profound influence of nature’s scents as you embark on a phyto-aroma journey. Through carefully selected aromas, you’ll tap into the subtle energies of the earth, heightening your awareness and enhancing your connection to the natural world.
🌿 Classical Kundalini Yoga. Through dynamic kriyas and meditations, you’ll tap into your limitless potential, cultivating vitality, balance, and expanded awareness.
💫 Meditation & Breathwork. Clear your mind and regulate your nervous system with practices designed to deepen your connection to the present moment. Through meditation and deep breathwork, you’ll find clarity, release stress, and restore balance within.
🌸 Yoga Nidra for Profound Rest. Let the world fade away as you enter a state of deep relaxation through Yoga Nidra. This ancient practice allows you to rest on every level—physically, mentally, and emotionally—while integrating the wisdom of your subconscious.
🔥 Transformative Firewalk. This ancient ritual invites you to release limiting beliefs, and step into a renewed sense of possibility and empowerment.
🌙 Sweat Lodge Ceremony. Honor the sacred traditions of purification and connection with a deeply grounding sweat lodge ceremony, where the warmth of the steam helps to cleanse the body, mind, and spirit. This ceremony offers deep connection to the earth, cultivating a sense of oneness with nature and the elements.
🌿 Nourishing, Thoughtfully Prepared Meals. Feast on nourishing meals made with love, care, and the highest quality-organic ingredients to support your journey. Each meal is designed to fuel your body and spirit, providing the energy you need to dive deep into your practices.
🌄 Time to Wander, Rest, & Connect. Between practices, you’ll have time to wander the pristine landscapes of the mountains, rest in the stillness of nature, and connect with the sacred space around you. This is your time to reflect, explore, and deepen your connection with the land and the community around you.

YOUR HOSTS:
“In an intrigue to uncover the truth of the Self & the Divine Light within, I've been on a wonderful journey of studying & training with many Gurus, Elders, Masters, & teachers of many wisdom traditions. In my journey, I've been awakened to a greatness of opportunity ~ the opportunity to remember a sense of meaning within all my relations ~ the opportunity to always be intentional & accountable with my actions & word ~ the opportunity to embrace my passions ~ & most importantly the opportunity to take my learnings and innerstandings and share them with those around me, to help others remember the truth within themselves." ~ Kris / Bholānāth-Ji
“My journey as a yoga teacher has been one of deep personal growth and discovery. I was introduced to Raja Yoga and meditation in my teens, which sparked a deep fascination with the mind-body connection and the transformative potential of yoga. From my early practice of Kundalini and Hatha yoga in Mexico to discovering the Akhanda experience at Prana, my practice has evolved into a holistic journey of integration, care, and mindfulness. Completing my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training in 2017 was a significant milestone, and since then, I’ve become a 500-hour ERYT and YACEP, continually expanding my skills and knowledge. I am honoured to have facilitated yoga retreats in Western Canada and led Meditation and Yoga Teacher Trainings, where I get to share my passion for yogic philosophy, and guide others on their own paths of growth and discovery. With a genuine and warm approach, I create nurturing environments for my students to explore their full potential and deepen their practice.” ~ Tania Vazquez
