MISSION BEACH RAINFOREST YOGA & MINDFULNESS RETREAT

EXHALE THE PAST, INHALE THE FUTURE

May 29 - June 4, 2022

 

“We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of Djiru Country, their Elders past present and future.
We observe the ancient Cultural footprint in the lands, seas and rivers all around us.”

 

 

ABOUT THE RETREAT
Join Senior Iyengar Yoga teacher Tim Oddie and Mindfulness Educator Anna Loughrey on this yoga and mindfulness retreat suitable for beginners to advanced students. For 6 nights / 7 days enjoy warm days and fresh evenings at this nurturing and informal resort offering stunning views over the Coral Sea, just as Victoria enters winter. In between uplifting yoga and life affirming mindfulness sessions you will have plenty of free time for self-care, be it walking in the rainforest, swimming in the pool or at the almost private beach nearby, reading in the long room or generally just slowing down to catch up with yourself. Taking place in Djiru Country this retreat offers an absolute haven for lovers of nature, food and good company.
'I always wanted to do a yoga/meditation retreat but as a newbie to both of these I was always worried I wouldn't fit in or be able to do the activities. But this retreat and with Tim and Anna who made every experience so comfortable, welcoming and enjoyable made me appreciate not only how important self care is but how I really enjoyed yoga and meditation. Thank you to both of you for this amazing experience and look forward to attending another one'. (Retreat Participant Dec 2021)
