About this Event
Wina Wellness Rest & Recovery is a 6 week wellness program for Indigenous women and girls ages 13+, centred on rest, recovery, connection, culture, and the principle of movement as medicine.
This is one full 6 week program, not a series of drop-in classes. When you register, you are committing to the full program and your registration secures your space for all six Saturdays.
Rest & Recovery is an invitation to slow down and make intentional space to care for ourselves. Over our six weeks together, we’ll explore different ways to support our bodies and overall wellness through gentle movement, mobility, stretching, breathwork, recovery practices and other wellness experiences.
You don’t need to be flexible, experienced or at any particular fitness level to participate. This isn’t about pushing harder or doing more. It’s about creating space to rest, reconnect with our bodies and one another, and explore what recovery and wellness can look and feel like together.

Come As You Are
No previous experience is needed. Wina Wellness Rest & Recovery is for all bodies, abilities and experience levels.
Some weeks may involve more movement, while others may focus more on slowing down and recovery. Everything is an invitation, and you’ll be encouraged to participate in a way that feels supportive for you.
Come as you are. Wina Wellness is about creating a space where Indigenous women and girls can show up exactly as they are, feel supported, connect and experience wellness together.
Your $50 Refundable Deposit
Wina Wellness is fully funded and free to participate in. A $50 refundable deposit is required to secure your space and support the commitment of participating in the full six week program.
Attend all six sessions and your full $50 deposit will be returned to you. We also understand that life happens. If you need to miss a session due to illness, family responsibilities or something unexpected, just let us know before the session begins. As long as you communicate with us ahead of time, it won’t impact the return of your deposit.
We never want the deposit to be a barrier to participating. If the $50 deposit would prevent you from registering, please reach out to Ivy at [email protected] or message Ivy on social media for a registration code. No explanation is necessary.
Celebrating Your Commitment
For each session you attend, $30 will be added toward your lululemon gift card, up to a total of $180 for attending all six sessions.
At the end of our six weeks together, we’ll gather for a Wina Wellness celebration, where participants will receive their refundable deposits and lululemon gift cards and celebrate the connections and experiences we’ve shared.
We are working toward including a special lululemon shopping experience as part of our celebration again this round. Details are still being confirmed and will be shared with participants once finalized.
Please register only if you are able to commit to the full six-week program. Your registration reserves one of only 10 available spaces for the entire program.
