From Burnout to Bliss
From Burnout to Bliss, wherever in the world you are.
Small-group, deeply personal retreats for adults and families, led by Jolie Michelle Ow.
Our 2027 journeys are being lovingly crafted now. Join the waitlist to be first in line and secure early bird rates.
A retreat, the Canvass way.
Our retreats aren’t holidays with yoga tacked on. They are thoughtfully designed journeys that weave together mindfulness, movement, creative expression and genuine connection, with space to slow down, reflect and return home lighter.
We keep every group small on purpose. It means each retreat feels personal, every guest is seen, and the experience is shaped around the people in the room.
Small groups. Meaningful places. Real change.
Where we're going in 2027
Portugal | May |
Adults
Sun-soaked coastlines, slow mornings and soulful reconnection. A week to breathe, create and remember who you are beneath the busyness.
Lake Toba | June | Families
A lakeside family adventure during the June school holidays. Nature, mindful play, creativity and time together, unplugged and fully present.
Bhutan | October | Adults
Following our much-loved Nepal Pilgrimage, we journey to the Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan. Sacred monasteries, mountain air and a culture that measures wealth in happiness. A pilgrimage inward as much as outward.
Bali | December |
Adults
Our family favourite returns. Close the year together with island magic, gentle practices, creative fun and meaningful moments for parents and children alike.

In our Participant's words
Jolie is a wonderful teacher. She is warm, caring, professional, and exceptionally creative. She has a unique capacity for designing and facilitating practices that integrate body, mind and soul. She is invested in building relationships with her students, and thoughtfully creates the right atmosphere for each lesson. Both of these aspects enrich and support the practice itself. I have attended Jolie’s yoga classes, both in person and online, for over a year now, and am grateful to have her as a teacher.
