About Us

Yukon Ayurveda Retreat & Wellness Centre

Yukon Ayurveda Retreat & Wellness Centre describes the location and the mission of our retreat centre, dedicated to promote wellness and health for all who come here.  We are situated on the banks of the Takhini river, in a wide valley ringed by majestic mountains...truly a healing place.

We are excited to be offering a variety of therapies that you can choose from, and the addition in September 2010 of our beautiful new yurt has added a whole new dimension that supports cleansing and healing programs.

We invite you to look at what is available, and feel free to create your own program in consultation with us for full or half days of relaxation and peace in our serene setting.
