Overnight Retreat - Yoga, connection & nature remedies

This one night retreat will be held early May giving us the chance to enjoy the Autumnal beauty of the Yarra Valley.

Located less than 90 minutes from Frankston, 85 minutes from Melbourne CBD and 55 minutes from Ringwood.

The retreat offers a weekend of yoga movement, guided meditation and energy practices from a warm and welcoming wellness studio in the heart of Warburton and accommodation nestled in the base of the mountains. Explore the Yarra River and two different and equally beautiful forests in the local area.

Saturday 4 May

The day at the studio will include practices which support your connection with self through movement, breath and energy remedies. This will include:

• A Yoga flow class with gentle movement
• A Rest & Restore class of restorative yoga, group Spinal Energetics and the use of essential oils and their aromatherapy healing
• Guided and sound meditation
• A connection circle with oracle cards to share and witness one another and receive inner guidance
• Leisure time to explore Warburton village or take a stroll along the beautiful Yarra River bank
• Nourishing lunch, fruit and teas
• A gentle walk in the stunning Rainforest Gallery (weather dependent)

Overnight

After a nurturing day we will spend the night at the small boutique refurbished mid-century accommodation, The Warburton Motel.

Beautifully located a few minutes drive from the township and nestled within the base of the mountains. The gorgeous 1.6 acre gardens offer many outdoor areas to sit and relax under the tree canopy and the pontoon lighting, and an outdoor fire pit for an evening gathering.

The rooms are very comfortable, quiet and welcoming with doors either side offering a lot of light and garden views and their own ensuite bathrooms. Individual bedrooms, suites and twin share rooms are available to book.

Dinner will be at the local Little Joe’s restaurant. A very popular eatery with the locals, offering wood fired pizzas, salads, tapas and Yarra Valley wine.

Sunday 5 May

A slow start and nature immersion to close the retreat. We gather after your own leisurely breakfast and take the 10 minute drive to the very iconic towering redwood trees, trails, creek and picnic areas of the magical Redwood Forest where we will explore and walk before the retreat concludes at approximately 12pm.
