There is plenty of free time to swim in the river/waterfalls and connect with ​pristine wilderness to cleanse, ground and centre.
 
Massage is an optional extra for an additional cost (needs to be booked 2 weeks prior).
 
N.B. This is an alcohol (and drug) free retreat (coffee optional)​.
 
Both Leah Suters and Sarah Downs are yoga teachers and massage therapists with decades of experience. Leah will be your Ayurvedic chef providing a sumptuous, seasonal, colourful and creative menu. Our mission is that your body, mind and spirit are zinging after these retreats and you have plenty of clarity and energy to move through Spring into Summer.
 
A retreat allows the practitioner to go deeper into their practice and internal world. It can offer the opportunity to evaluate, let go and transform.
