Overview!
Man Flow Yoga (for ladies as well!) will be hosting a 5-day retreat in beautiful
Haliburton, Ontario from Wednesday, September 17th to Sunday, September 21st, 2014.
Dean Pohlman, CEO and Founder of Man Flow Yoga, will be collaborating with Holly
and Pablo of SUPnorth Paddle Board Adventures, Julie Barban of Heritage Ballet &
Pilates, and Suzanne Haedicke, Zumba instructor, to bring you a diverse array of
physical activities, to make this a physical fitness-oriented retreat. This nature getaway
is located just two and a half hours north east of Toronto, far away enough to be
removed from the hustle and bustle of city life.!
Haliburton County in fall delivers fresh air, a spectacular display of vibrant foliage, and is
the perfect excuse for a romantic getaway, or a personal retreat from your busy life.
Hike through the woods, detox in the sauna, rejuvenate in the hot tub, or lounge in your
cottage near the crackling wood burning fireplace after a long day of workouts and
outdoor activities. There are optional guided activities available, including golfing,
fishing, hiking and more! You can also experience the arts with local Haliburton Artist
Studios (by appointment only), a "Walk in the Clouds" or a visit the Wolf Centre. For

Halimar Resort!
Halimar is a traditional family resort that has hosted guests since 1940. The name was
created from "Haliburton di Mare", which expresses its unique location on the famous
Lake Kashagawigamog, in the centre of the Haliburton Highlands.!
Where traditions are started... Halimar is set on the placid shorelines of Lake Kashagawigamog, part of a magnificent
chain of five lakes. The pristine waters have been drawing guests back year after year
for the fantastic fishing, excellent water activities or simply to capture the timeless
beauty found in the sun sets. Halimar Resort's fabulous grounds continue to offer the
best view of Lake Kashagawigamog.!
!
Halimar offers modern, lakeview, air-conditioned accommodations, each with their own
fireplace (wood supplied) and TV with DVD/VCR and complimentary movies.
Accommodations vary in size, style, and price, ranging from 1 - 4 bedrooms, and queen
and double beds. Some cottages are equipped with a single and some with a
double Jacuzzi tub. A kitchen or kitchenette is offered with a refrigerator, sink, coffee
maker, microwave and BBQ.!
Included are all the facilities and seasonal activities:!
• a log house sauna, fitness room, outdoor hot tub “under the stars”!
• all the non-motorized boats, paddleboats, canoes, rowboats, sail boats!
• long safe sandy beach!
• outdoor heated pool!
• tennis, biking, hiking trails, volleyball & more
Man Flow Yoga!
A form of yoga tailored to men (but equally accessible to women!) that focuses on the
physical benefits of yoga. There is strong emphasis on alignment and the poses last
longer, so that practitioners can reap the benefits of endurance, balance, core strength,
and flexibility from head to toe. !

SUPnorth Paddleboarding Adventures!

Holly & Pablo will be offering, lessons, tours, camps, floating fitness, paddle fishing and
Canada's first Mermaid Lagoon. Check out http://supnorth.ca for details.
!
Heritage Ballet & Pilates!
Heritage Ballet is a child and adult community based business established over the last
12 years. At the helm is Julie Barban. The studio offers a range of classes from Ballet to
Tap and Jazz to Pilates, and Julie’s core belief is to instill confidence in children and
help them to find their potential.!
!
Julie received her Pilates Matwork Certification from the Physical Mind Institute in 2001.
Her classes are based on Joseph Pilates classic exercises with a little Franklin method
twist! These classes will work you from head to toe with a strong emphasis on core
strength.!
!
Yoga and Pilates have similar breathing and centering practices. The core strength you
build in Pilates helps give the stability needed in yoga poses while stretching. The
control you learn in Yoga poses will help hold the core focused exercises in Pilates.!
!
Suzanne Haedicke, Zumba!
Zumba is a dance fitness program created by Colombian dancer and choreographer
Alberto "Beto" Perez during the 1990s. Zumba involves dance and aerobic elements.
Zumba's choreography incorporates hip-hop, soca, samba, salsa, merengue, mambo

FAQS!
When should guests arrive and depart?!
You should plan on arriving at Pierson International in the morning on September 17th,
so that you have time to retrieve your luggage and arrange your transportation from the
airport to Halimar and arrive in time for the evening Man Flow Yoga session (around
6:00 PM - subject to change). You should schedule a flight for the afternoon of
September 21st.!
!
Are there bugs? !
The buggy season is past in Halimar during the month of September, but there are still
some bugs. Local natural bug repellent options will be available in the town of
Haliburton - try Sharpley’s Source for Sports on Main Street, Haliburton.!
!
What about transportation? Do we need to rent cars?!
The location of the retreat is located 2 hours North of Toronto and the town of Haliburton
is remote and a car is needed to travel to local amenities including grocery stores and
additional sightseeing in the area. However, you will know the participants of the retreat
beforehand, so it will be possible to coordinate car pools. We are working out discounts
with car rental agencies at Pierson International for participants. There are bus options
from the airport to Haliburton as well, for those who are unable or unwilling to rent a car.
!
Where will be doing yoga?!
We will have an indoor option, but outside is an option too, weather permitting!!
!
Is it warm enough outside? !
The fall temperature in Haliburton can range from 60 degrees F to 80 degrees F (16
degrees C to 25 degrees C).
