Vancouver Island</p>
<div>
Parksville is a centrally located seaside city, on the sheltered east coast of Vancouver Island. A balance of accommodations, restaurants and all the comforts of a city with the peace and quiet of a small town. It&#8217;s not uncommon for everything to be quiet by 8pm here! The perfect place to explore nature and deepen your connection to the Earth in this beautiful environment.</p>
<p>BLYS School of Yoga will adventure on 2 daytrips during our month together. Walking into Cathedral Grove, an ancient ecosystems to meditate with 800 year old trees. Gather strength and grounding from trees around 250 feet tall and 29 feet around! Exploring the Englishman River &amp; Errington Falls we will cleanse and receive the transformation of water. Participants in the BLYS School of Yoga will benefit from April &amp; Safah&#8217;s knowledge &amp; love of this sacred land, both being local residents.</p></div>
<div><strong> The BLYS School of Yoga has access to special rates for Oceanfront accommodations with kitchens a 10 minute walk from our downtown studio. Please inquire for support in booking, and potential room shares.</strong></div>
