The nice weather is finally here and we just want to get moving and celebrate! If you live in Parksville or even if you’re just visiting, we’ve compiled the perfect day of summer activities for you and a friend.

Start the morning with a beautiful yoga class at Namaskar Yoga Studio Parksville. As soon as you step into this tranquil studio, a complete wave of peace washes over you. Shelly and her wonderful team embody Namaskar: N- Non-judgement; A – Ahimsa – (Sanskrit for “do no harm” against self or others); M – Mindfulness; A – Authenticity; S – Shanti (Sanskrit word for “peace”); K – Kindness and compassion; A – Appreciation and gratitude; R – Respect for self, respect for others.

Whether you are new to yoga or consider yourself a pro, Namaskar truly offers yoga for all. Remember to set your intention for an amazing day!


After sweating it out at yoga, come freshen up at Elegance Sculpting with a facial and pedicure. Relax in our new, beautiful facility while our beauty experts refresh, renew and replenish your spirits. Our facials use high quality products from Payot Paris to completely hydrate the skin. We have two facial options: classic which is 60 minutes and signature which is a luxurious 90 minutes. Please arrive for any facial without makeup.

Our pedicures include a relaxing foot massage and use one of the best nail polishes on the market, Deborah Lippmann. Our massage chairs and foot soakers offer the perfect place to catch up with your girlfriend or a good book.
