Within a relaxed and friendly atmosphere we aim to present a weekend that encompasses all aspects of Yoga and the means with which to incorporate these into our daily life. The system of Yoga we teach is called Yoga in Daily Life which was developed by Paramhans Swami Maheshwarananda (Swamiji), an authentic Yoga Master who hails from a long lineage of great Indian Masters. Therefore, the Yoga presented by the qualified Yoga in Daily Life instructors this weekend emanates from a true and authentic source. We hope you will gain an insight into the true essence of Yoga and find the inspiration to practice it regularly. Regular practice of Yoga & Meditation most definitely helps in achieving quality and purpose of life.

YOGA is more than just physical stretching exercises. The Yoga Asanas, Breathing Exercises, Relaxation Techniques and Meditation are all part of the one whole, which is Yoga. The techniques are inter-related and when practiced together, bestow abundant health, happiness and self-confidence. The Yoga Asanas are a combination of exercises that relax, energise and rejuvenate the whole body. Both the gentle and the more dynamic movements help to relieve muscular tension and discomfort. Yoga Asanas keep the body flexible and increase joint and spine mobility. Complete beginners are encouraged to attend our Retreats, as are those who have previous Yoga experience.

MEDITATION is a practical means to attain peace of mind. In the practice of Meditation we learn to move beyond mundane content of thought to deeper levels of the psyche, accessing that deep well-spring of inner peace inherent within each human being. Through Meditation we learn how to consciously bring stillness and tranquillity to an otherwise restless and overactive mind. The result is a natural sense of peace and a clear-thinking mind - better able to deal with life’s demanding situations.

HEALTH & NUTRITION are the other topics covered during the weekend. Between the bush walks and yoga classes, our Naturopaths give informative lectures on how to improve health and well being by making better food choices and other simple lifestyle changes. The Naturopaths are usually available for brief consultations and perhaps even an iris diagnosis.

All meals at the Retreat are incredibly delicious, freshly prepared vegetarian fare!! Recipe booklets are available so you can put your hand to cooking at home.
