What a day it was at the Day in the Country Fitness Retreat!
A wonderful group of upbeat women and men from Oakville to Collingwood came together for a day filled with fun, fitness and friendship.
We kicked off with a hike along the beautiful Bruce Trail, soaking in the fresh country air and breathtaking views. The natural beauty around us made every step a wonder.
Later, we cooled off with an energizing Olympics-themed aquafitness class with fabulous Katarina.
We enjoyed a delicious catered lunch and some snacks along the way, and of course there was time to relax, chat, and make new friends.
We were also treated to a talk by guest speaker/archivist Laura from the Museum of Dufferin who shared her vast knowledge of Dufferin County.
Under the beautiful sky, we stretched and strengthened with yoga on the grass. The sound of the birds and rustle of the leaves was the perfect backdrop as we let go of stress and connected with nature.
We wrapped up the day with a second hike, this time into gorgeous Mono Cliffs Provincial Park.
Our gracious hosts, Carol and Maarten, welcomed us into their stunning country home and estate making us feel right at home. Their warmth and hospitality added a special touch to the day.
Overall, people told me that the retreat was an absolute blast.
Should we do it again next year? Stay tuned!
