Learn about Ayurvedic practices for daily life & enjoy lunch in a serene setting. This retreat is suitable for those affected by any type of cancer, at any stage of treatment or recovery. Practices are guided by Michelle & Tara who together have education in oncology, yoga therapy & mental health aware trainings alongside their traditional yoga trainings.

We’ll begin with a warming teas & treats. If it’s chilly, we’ll light the log fire and sit in circle to Acknowledge Country and meet one another. An energising yoga asana practice will start the morning on the open air deck. We’ll teach you how to settle and soothe the nervous with pranayama breath. Enjoy a lush vegetarian & vegan lunch with views of the lake. To invite inner quiet we’ll share a guided meditation. You’ll learn how to make the goodness of ghee and how Ayurveda can support your daily journey. Understand your Ayurvedic ‘dosha’ and how daily rituals can support your constitution. Soften into the grounding calm of yin & restorative yoga. In the last chapter of the afternoon we’ll share tea together along with some sweet treats infused with the nectar of Ayurveda.
