Frequently Asked Questions

No worries! If you can provide us with a location accessible by car where your facilitator can be picked up by boat, we're happy to come to your boat-access-only cottage. Just let us know the details when you book and we'll coordinate the logistics.

We recommend booking at least 2–4 weeks in advance, especially for summer weekends (June–September) and holiday long weekends. For bridal and corporate experiences, 4–6 weeks is ideal so we can customize your session. Last-minute availability is sometimes possible — reach out and we'll do our best.

Absolutely not. Every experience is designed to be accessible to complete beginners while still being meaningful for seasoned practitioners. Our teacher adapts in real time to your group's comfort and ability. You don't need to be flexible, fit, or "good at yoga" — you just need to show up.

Wear comfortable clothing you can move in — think leggings, shorts, t-shirts. We recommend layers since sessions often happen outdoors. Bring water, sunscreen, your own yoga mat (or a thick towel), a journal and pen, and a towel if you're near the lake.

We always have a backup plan. Most cottage properties have covered porches, screened-in rooms, or indoor spaces we can use. Light rain can actually make outdoor sessions incredibly atmospheric and grounding. In the case of severe weather, we'll work with you to reschedule or modify the experience. Please make sure you have both indoor and outdoor locations available in case weather does not cooperate on the day of your class.

Most experiences accommodate groups of 4–15 people comfortably, though we can adjust for smaller intimate sessions or larger groups. Our bridal and girls' getaway packages are designed for the whole group. Corporate retreats can be scaled up with advance notice. Let us know your group size and we'll tailor accordingly.

No, we do not provide yoga mats — for hygienic purposes, we ask participants to provide their own yoga mats or use a thick towel.

Absolutely. Every experience is tailored to your group's needs, energy, and goals. During booking, we'll ask about your group dynamic, any physical considerations, and what you're hoping to get from the session. Whether you want more restorative work, a high-energy flow, extra breathwork, or specific themes — we design around you.

We understand plans change — especially at the cottage. Cancellations made 7+ days before your session receive a full refund minus a $40 administration fee. Cancellations within 3–7 days receive a 50% refund or full credit toward a future booking. Within 72 hours, we offer a full credit for rebooking. Weather-related cancellations are always fully refunded or rescheduled.

Yes! A Zen Muskoka experience makes a beautiful and meaningful gift — for birthdays, anniversaries, bridal showers, or just because. Contact us to purchase a gift certificate for any experience or a custom amount. We'll provide a beautifully designed digital certificate you can send or print.

Every single session we offer is designed to meet people where they are. Whether you've never done yoga before or you practice daily, our teacher creates a space where everyone feels comfortable, supported, and engaged. There is no "wrong" way to show up.

We don't teach yoga classes — we curate intentional wellness immersions. Every experience includes multiple elements: movement, breathwork, meditation, nature immersion, connection rituals, and guided reflection. It's private, on-location, and designed specifically for your group. Think of it as a wellness concierge, not a fitness instructor.

Yes. Our teacher is experienced in working with a wide range of bodies, abilities, and physical considerations. Please let us know about any injuries, mobility limitations, or health concerns when booking. We'll modify poses and sequences so everyone can participate safely and comfortably.
