Join us for a three day mid-winter retreat 14-16th of June 2018 at the stunning Mana Retreat, Coromandel.
The retreat will begin on Friday with lunch and a welcoming, settling in and releasing class. After dinner, we will dive into a restorative practice. The Saturday schedule will include an active morning and restorative afternoon session with space for walks, reading and feasting. We will conclude the day with a simple restorative practice after dinner.
We will complete on Sunday with a long morning practice followed by a shared lunch. All the meals are vegetarian and have been co-designed by Karla and Mana to nourish the body and support our yoga practice.
In the deepest days of winter, the heartwarming retreat gifts space to rest, nourish and revitalise. Join us for ease-full practices of restorative and gentle Yoga, as well as iRest Yoga Nidra – complemented by the seasonal offerings of Mana: wood fires, delicious food and forest wanders.
The retreat fees from $540 include all meals, simple accommodation and over 10 hours of tuition. Classes will be co-taught by Karla and Neal, and assisted by skilled senior students.
