Spring Reset Retreat

Yanada Retreat is a beautiful bush sanctuary, nestled in a lush green valley between the McDonald River and the Yengo Mountains. It's the perfect location to unwind, rest and rejuvenate.  

With plenty of free-time built into the schedule, you can:

• Explore the river or the ridge

• Swim in the pool

• Swing in a hammock

• Visit the charming village of St Albans

• Curl up with a book, nap or do nothing at all

For deeper self-nourishment you can also book in a massage with Vic (additional fee).

Spring and the Wood Element

According to the Chinese Five Element theory the seasons are governed by fire, water, earth, wood and metal. Spring is ruled by the wood element and is about rejuvenation, growth and expansion.

Our retreat activities are designed around this energy with a focus on:

• Yin and Restorative Yoga to quieten the mind and help re-set the nervous system

• Breathwork and meditation sessions to help us connect to nature and our true path

• Group sessions designed to enable you to recognise, express and bring to life your innermost dreams. We'll look at what they are, what's holding you back, and how to move forward.

• Yogalates and Yoga flow classes that work with the Wood Element - concentrating on strengthening, stretching and increasing range of motion - particularly along the sides of the body.

• Music, sound and dance

• Cacao ceremony
