Weekend Getaway - Yoga & Meditation

Are you ready to retreat into a weekend of Self-Care with Yoga, Meditation & Pranayama (yogic breathing practice)?

If your answer is Yes, then this is the retreat for you.......

Hands down, Yoga, Meditation & Breathwork are the best self-care tools. Spending time on your mat can benefit your brain, heart, and bones, and even change the expression of your genes. Better yet, “yoga does all these things simultaneously,” says Timothy McCall, MD, co-author of Principles and Practice of Yoga in Health Care, a medical textbook of yoga therapy. “It’s synergistic. The transformation helps with more than one symptom—lives can change—which is something we don’t see much in modern medicine.” 

Whether you need some inspiration in order to commit to your yoga practice, or simply want to know where the current research stands, read on for 18 of the most groundbreaking recent discoveries on yoga’s healing powers.

Our Food for your Soul meals on this retreat are sattvic - meaning it brings peace and enhances the wellbeing of the body, mind and spirit. Your meals will be colourful, beautiful in flavour with aesthetic appeal and plentiful. We believe food should be sustainable, pure and real - supporting and nourishing your body and mind to cleanse and heal.

We will make every effort to accommodate food allergies (i.e. gluten, vegetarian etc), however we will do the best we can to cater for your needs.

For safety reasons we are unable to accept guests who have a fatal allergy to any foods. We are not equipped to serve separate meals and as the closest hospital is 2 hours away we prefer not to put anyone at risk.

Health

If you have symptoms of respiratory illness, including loss of smell, nasal symptoms, sore throat, unusually tired, cough or fever, please call ahead to your GP before arriving.  Balance for Life reserves the right to protect the health and safety of its guests at all times.  Hand Sanitiser will be provided and we encourage you to use upon arrival and regularly throughout the weekend.  I feel it is better to be over cautious rather than under.
