Upcoming Retreat - Saturday 9 May 〰️

More about this immersive retreat

We begin our retreat with a sunrise mindful movement session at Rose Bay Beach, Bowen, giving you space to arrive, breathe, and settle into your peace.

From there, Yogis will make their own way to the My Zen Yoga Studio, where we open our retreat before moving into an instructional Yoga session—which is designed to give new Yogis deeper guidance and offer practicing Yogis a refreshing refinement of their existing practice.

Next, we shift into a wellbeing segment, where we will share some of our favourite healthy habits for improving everyday wellbeing—simple, practical habits you can integrate into your everyday.

A replenishing Yin Yoga practice follows, accompanied by a soothing hand or head massage, before the healing tones of Crystal Bowls invite you into deep immersion.

Nourishing refreshments are included as part of your retreat package.

What sets this immersive retreat apart

We are located in the beautiful Whitsundays

We are based in Bowen, in the beautiful Whitsundays. Our retreat offers both locals and visitors a nurturing space to reconnect and nourish their wellbeing. On the morning of the retreat, we’ll begin with a sunrise movement and meditation practice at Rose Bay Beach, embracing the beauty and benefits of the rising sun. Showcasing Bowen’s stunning beaches is an essential part of the experience, allowing you to settle into your own sense of peace while taking in the breathtaking beauty of a Whitsunday sunrise.

Qualified and experienced practitioners

Our retreats are facilitated by qualified and experienced practitioners who create a welcoming, supportive space for you to experience a deep self‑care immersion. Throughout the movement practices, our practitioners offer thoughtful modifications to accommodate all levels of yogis, ensuring everyone feels safe, included, and empowered in their practice.

We are intentional and selective with the special guests who support elements of the retreat, ensuring they are both highly qualified and aligned with our purpose.

A welcoming and light filled space

Our lovely studio—where we’ll spend most of our time—is light‑filled and welcoming. In moderate weather, natural airflow keeps the space fresh, and during warmer days we have full air‑conditioning for your comfort. You’ll also find bathroom facilities, as well as filtered and mineralised drinking water available. There is plenty of street parking, and we’re just one block from the scenic front beach.
