A day on retreat begins with yoga and is usually followed by free time to indulge in an Ayurvedic treatment or massage (depending on where we are in the world), relax by the pool or explore the local area. Afternoons will take us on a site seeing adventure or include a cooking class or more treatments or classes. Evening meals are a fun time with the group to sit back and feast on delicious local cuisine and enjoy a glass of wine if we're in vineyard country. Daily guided meditations facilitate complete and utter surrender into retreat mode. All activities are optional, this is your holiday to relax and recharge your way.

Who Comes On Retreat?

Mothers, daughters, husbands, friends, regular yogis & first timers, we get all sorts! The only criteria is that you love adventure! If you're travelling solo you'll have a bunch of new friends by dinner time.
