Wellness for Women: Meditation, Mindfulness, Yoga Retreat

Modern life is fast-paced and full of distractions. This weekend meditation, mindfulness and yoga retreat in beautiful Bundanoon, NSW is the perfect opportunity to experience deep relaxation and connect to the stillness within you.

About the Program

Taking time out for YOU is essential from time to time to reduce your stress levels and recharge your mental and emotional spirit.

As women, we’re adept at multi-tasking and combining family life with work and friendships. But sometimes our ‘cup’ gets a little drained and we need to top it up.

Running on half-empty can cause disharmony and imbalance internally and externally as you struggle to keep it all together. Taking time out for YOU is essential from time to time to reduce your stress levels and recharge your mental and emotional spirit.

Join us for a weekend to focus on improving your emotional health and wellbeing. Using gentle methods of yoga and movement, meditation and mindfulness activities, this workshop will help you build a framework of self-care strategies to improve your emotional equilibrium, balance your nervous system and your responses to life’s challenges.
