The Restore Retreat is a relaxed and nourishing yoga retreat designed to balance daily practice with plenty of time to rest, unwind, and slow down. Flow through uplifting, dynamic, and conscious movement before settling into restorative moments of breath, meditation, and stillness. This retreat is an invitation to regulate the nervous system, restore balance, and come home to your Self—leaving you feeling grounded, present, and deeply nourished. At the heart of this retreat is a gentle, intentional rhythm. Each day includes two yoga sessions—an energising, active practice in the morning to awaken the body, and a Yin or Restorative practice in the evening to unwind, soften, and settle into rest—creating a natural balance between movement and stillness. This rhythm supports the nervous system to regulate naturally, without pressure or intensity. Two workshops available during the retreat to deepen your understanding of yoga. Time in our Bath House—including a sauna, steam room, cold plunge, and magnesium pool—massage, and time in nature all work together to support deep restoration on every level. Spaciousness is also built into the schedule, with time to swim, explore, reflect, or simply slow down, allowing the experience to meet you exactly where you are. This retreat isn’t about doing more. It’s about tuning in, softening, and creating the conditions to truly restore, reconnect, and come home to your Self.
