Escape the bustle of Sydney and welcome the spirit of Winter in this 3-day / 2 night retreat.
Just under 2 hours away from Sydney City, we welcome you for a weekend of FUN, deep restoration and bliss, in the private, idyllic Vanam Retreat Centre.
We invite you to rest, take a break, play and nourish yourself – so you leave on Sunday afternoon with a light heart and big smile on your face.
With some of the most senior AcroYoga teachers in Australia, you are in for a real treat! Steph & Julia are teaming up to provide an extraordinary experience:
With gentle morning movement practices, we will wake up body and mind. In our AcroYoga workshops, we create a safe space for connection, playfulness and FUN. In evening YIN Yoga Masterclasses, we will deeply nourish and restore the body on a cellular level.
Plenty of time to sit back and relax in nature, go for a bushwalk, play more with your friends, or sit back in the SPA or in front of the fire.
This retreat is suitable to all levels of practice. Everyone is welcome.
NOTE: The venue is home to two beautiful dogs that will be roaming about.
