RETREATS

Retreats are a powerful opportunity to step away from the noise of everyday life and reconnect with the simplicity that so often gets lost:
the slow mornings, the deep breaths, the spaciousness we long for.

They are a chance to recharge your body, mind, and spirit, and to remember what truly nourishes you.

Into the body, into nature, into presence, into grounded living.

Returning to the essentials

Each retreat is created as a nurturing environment where you are invited to show up exactly as you are. Whether you're seeking rest, clarity, connection, or simply time to breathe, you'll be held within a warm community of like-minded souls who are also taking time to refill their cup.

An embodied return

Immersed in nature, my retreats weave together yoga practice, nourishing foods, meditation, embodied movement, and gentle wellness workshops. This combination supports your nervous system, your emotional wellbeing, and your sense of grounded presence.

Yoga retreats help you return to who you are, what you need, and the simple pleasures that bring meaning to your days.

You will leave feeling: Replenished • Energised • Empowered • Connected

About your day

  • Connect to intuitive, primal movement patterns that stimulate body, mind, and spirit. Safely guided within the practice framework. All levels welcome, for everyBODY.

  • Bring your own or explore nearby cafés: Mapua Bakery, Alberto's, or Jellyfish at the wharf.

  • No dance experience needed, just playful, joyful expression. Explore the sacred rhythms of the elements through flowing movement, breath, and body awareness. Hip scarves provided for added sound, colour, and celebration.

  • A gentle pause to hydrate, rest, and prepare for the final journey into sound.

  • Move to thrive. Reconnect with your body through music, movement, and freedom. This isn't about performance—it's about expression, release, and joy. Through embodiment, somatics, and rhythm, we'll explore how movement calms the nervous system and nourishes wellbeing.

ASK ME ABOUT THIS RETREAT

  • “I’m feeling extremely blessed and nurtured. The first activity — stepping into the circle — was a real wake-up call about not putting myself first. It reiterated the importance of self-care and giving myself time. Everything was so beautifully thought out. Thank you.

  • "I didn’t want to leave. It has been a truly amazing experience — one I had been impatiently waiting for. The food, the river swim, the circle — it all resonated deeply. The circle was especially powerful, even though it was challenging to acknowledge my own responses.”

  • “Relaxed. Calm. Grounded. I loved the restorative yoga and the meditation at the end. Your attention to detail — the food, the gift bags — made it all feel so special. I’ll continue to make space for these types of experiences.”
