The Retreat Yoga Studio is a beautiful space, a sanctuary, where everyone is made to feel welcome.
Our teachers are exceptional and caring.
We share our love of this life-changing practice through authentic movement and deep contemplation.
Yoga at The Retreat is an opportunity to listen deeply and grow more understanding and compassion toward ourselves.
We use traditional yoga with somatic therapy, functional movement and other mind-body practices to unveil more ease in both body and mind. Through embodied practices we build strength, mobility, resilience, flexibility and
calm the nervous system to support restoration, relaxation and calm.
Although you will be challenged, we don’t focus on severe poses or making the body fit the pose,
rather authentic self-enquiry and allowing the pose to fit the body.
Yoga at The Retreat is also a great support for sufferers of stress, anxiety, trauma, illness
and anyone who wishes to move, breathe and BE with more ease.
We look forward to welcoming you home to The Retreat. Sanctuary Within.
