Yoga Retreat Program

Yoga health retreats are unique and anyone desiring to touch base with the self and enjoy a special break – singles, couples yoga or partners wanting to rejuvenate. Create the opportunity to reflect and re-evaluate life from a different perspective while practicing yoga and meditation daily, improving core strength with Pilates and cleansing the body of toxins with fresh organic juices and beautifully prepared vegetarian meals. Enjoy time out for yourself to really relax and rejuvenate at a deeper level to restore balance and inner harmony.

We provide individual attention and assistance to all students during classes, particularly if you have injuries or special health needs. It’s all about your personal yoga practice and doing what is appropriate for your body and needs at the time. The classes are taught in a safe and practical way using props when necessary to help open the body i.e. morning vinyasa style (a fluid yoga sequence working a little deeper using the breath to warm up and cleanse the body of toxins) and a more restorative practice for the afternoons to bring balance and replenishment. This combination of yoga is designed for all levels of experience with age, health and lifestyle fully considered.
