Start your morning the best way: with a yoga class at Horseshoe Valley resort, guided by our incredible instructor, Laurie.

Laurie has guided well over a thousand classes — think less “perfect poses” and more “move your body, find your edge, have a blast.” She mixes mindful movement with just the right dose of rock-and-roll attitude, helping people shake off the stress and come home to themselves — no judgment, no pressure, just real connection.

📆 Sunday August 8:30 - 9:30 a.m.

📍 In front of the Apres Stage @ Horseshoe

🥘 Recipe of the Week: Grilled Zucchini Carbonara

Grilled zucchini carbonara is a combination of cheesy, lemony egg yolk-enriched sauce, al dente spaghetti, and charred zucchini bits that melt into the dish. To be clear, this is a variation of carbonara and not classic like my other carbonara recipe that includes pork. This is meatless territory and includes miso for a deep dive into salty umami flavour so you won’t be missing out on pancetta.
