Yin Yoga Retreat

Rest, Reconnect, Reset

15-17  November, 2019

Mountain Spirit invites you to join us for a Yin Yoga retreat in Wanaka/Hawea

We invite you to join us at a minimal cost for food, and in return we ask for kind and honest feedback and a testimonial. We’ll provide accommodation – options include Yurt, Tipi or sleep-outs, all meals - mostly grown here on our organic land, sailing on Lake Wanaka, spectacular hikes, meditation and plenty of yin. We will provide the setting and nature will do the rest.

We are offering this weekend to participants in the Joe Barnett Level 2 Yin Yoga training first. There is space for 10, so please reserve a space soon

Increase your flexibility & mobility, reduce stress & tension, cultivate a strong and calm mind. ​

For those wishing to sail, we'll be going out on the 25ft Noelex yacht called the Astrolabe, owned by Mountain Spirit, which sets sail regularly under Lake Wanaka Yacht Charters. Randall is a registered skipper with Maritme New Zealand and the boat is inspected for commercial use on regular basis.

Sailing on Wanaka will give you an opportunity enjoy the lake, also, to connect with the waves, wind and water. We'll set the stage for a conscious and fun experience to meditate in any way you wish out there on Lake Wanaka.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

I thought the whole experience was well tailored, from accommodation, yoga, food, participants, setting, activities and food..
