Ever wanted to experience King Island?
Well, here’s your chance to discover and explore; shipwrecks, history, birdlife, stunning beaches and lighthouses, and of course, fresh local produce!
A maximum of 9 participants ensure an intimate experience during your stay on the jewel of Bass Strait.
Immerse yourself in twice daily Yoga and meditation classes, bask in sightseeing (we know the best spots on the island) and dine on delicious local cuisine.
If you’re looking for a prissy retreat, maybe try somewhere else, but if you want a ‘pristine’ retreat – then King Island is your destination!
We will be staying in Naracoopa on the east coast of the island.
Naracoopa is known as the “sunshine town” due to it’s magnificent sunrises and its slightly warmer climate (just a degree or 2)!
On this peaceful little paradise, King Island has an abundance of space and quietness, gorgeous beaches and a massive maritime history.
You will meet and greet the local folk who are never in a hurry and always ready for a chat.
Breath the freshest of air, look far out to sea into the ‘raging 40’s’ and experience a quietness beyond time.
Take time off for personal reflection or be inspired by interaction with like-minded people.
Leave feeling inspired, refreshed and equipped with new ways to bring balance into your heart and mind, and your home and work life.
We will be staying in Naracoopa at the self-contained Baudins Cottages & King Island Accommodation cottages. All accommodation has private facilities with a small kitchen and lounge. They are warm and comfortable with heating & gorgeous sea views.
This retreat, which is suitable for all levels of ability, offers a great opportunity for you to immerse yourself in a yoga and mindfulness practice and explore how this then affects your whole being. For those who are unfamiliar with
your hosts: Jacqui & Shimon, they have over 60 years of collective experience in teaching, studying, and practicing Yoga.
Shimon’s good humour will lift your spirit and Jacqui’s depth of Spiritual wisdom will leave you quiet within.
They will both take your Yoga practice to the next level.
