AUTUMN SONG: Strength & Release Yoga Retreat

The Northern Edge, Algonquin Park

NOVEMBER 5th – 8th, 2026

Take a beat…

Move boldly. Rest deeply.

Connect to your body and enliven your spirit by harnessing the energy of the shifting season – a change in earth, nature, air, and light.

Let’s gather together to move intuitively, play openly, and turn inwards.

Lean into strength while surrendering to softness.

Join Lee Scott and Dana Rogers in the soulful beauty of Algonquin Provincial Park for four days of yoga, somatics, guided walks, nourishing food, and meaningful connection.

— a deep release before the start of winter.

“I am most radiant and full of energy when the leaves are falling and there is a ghost of change in the air”

1:1 CLINICAL SOMATIC THERAPY, EDUCATION, & HEALING

“Our bodies contain our histories – every chapter, line, and verse, of every event and relationship in our lives.”

– Caroline Myss

Over the course of our lives we naturally come into contact with challenging situations.

When unprocessed trauma or stress builds and builds, it gets stored in our bodies and prevents us from feeling safe and joyful.

SOMATIC THERAPY, CLINICAL SOMATICS, and the BRAIN BODY BEING METHOD are integrative, body-based processes that work with the nervous system.

We can experience the effects of depression, chronic pain or fatigue, PTSD, anxiety, or we can feel a general sense of disconnectedness.

Do you feel depleted? Do you feel like something is missing? Do you just not feel like yourself?

Join me and learn to access a sense of ease and wholeness again.

TESTIMONIALS

"I discovered Dana's classes while I was recovering from a stroke. There was such a knowledge and gentle approach that I felt immediately safe and that I could trust her guidance. I'm drawn to teachers who practice what they preach and approach yoga from a holistic standpoint as opposed to fitness. Dana is cool, smart, kind, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. She wants the best for her students and sets up her classes with the 'this is your practice - you have control over it' attitude. She is my teacher for life!"

"Words cannot capture how grateful I am for the gift of Dana's presence in my life these past few years. I discovered yoga during a very difficult and traumatic time. Dana was so generous and kind in helping me as a newbie to yoga to explore and discover what worked (and didn't work) for me. Beyond being extremely knowledgeable, Dana is patient, intuitive, and adapts to individual needs and levels. I love her philosophy of acknowledging and encouraging one to honour what you can do at that moment without judgement or pressure; and encouraging each of us to strive to do more when we choose. Dana is more than just a yoga instructor. Yes, she was able to teach a very uncoordinated person aerial yoga. But beyond the technical aspects, she has been my guide, support, and coach in my personal journey and learning of self-care - kindness, compassion, celebration, gratitude, forgiveness, joy, peace. I couldn't imagine my life without her warm and generous light. From my heart to yours Dana, namaste."

Judy K.

"Dana guides us expertly and compassionately through a carefully planned practice. She sets a tone of inclusivity, offering helpful information, encouragement, and options for extension/challenge. Her Gentle Hatha and Move & Meditate classes are an essential and inspiring part of my week."

Cheryl H.

"I have recently attended several Yoga classes taught by Dana Rogers. I am 83 years old and over the years I have been to numerous Yoga classes with dozens of teachers, some of whom were excellent. I can honestly say that if I had to put one teacher on a pedestal it would be Dana! Her classes are never repetitive and she has a new routine each week that is both interesting and challenging. She is able to help all participants adapt to their own level, by offering several alternate suggestions for most asanas, so no one feels left behind. She makes every class so rewarding, and while with most fitness classes I tend to be impatient and can't wait for them to end, the hour with Dana seems to simply fly by. !"
