The Shoreline Tofino is a boutique oceanfront hotel in the heart of Tofino (5 min walk from downtown), nestled between old growth cedars, hanging on the edge of the shore. Originally built in the late 1960's the property & its architecture are the definition of cabin vibes. A rich natural landscape surrounds the property which consists of an A-frame house and two A-frame cabins. With a laidback feel, modern surf shack cool, the comforts of home, and thoughtful touches.

Carolyn created and teaches Spa Yoga, which is a blend of Hatha, Restorative, Slow Flow and Breath. It's super mellow, restorative, and with a big focus on breathing. In the mornings, Spa Yoga is more of a ‘slow flow’ class and in the afternoons, it leans towards Yin and all types of Breathwork and Mindfulness discussions.
