Restorative Yoga session with essential oils

22/09/2025

A full week of recovery, rest, movement, and nourishment ✨
Filling my days with:

🌸 Fun time with friends
🥗 Nourishing food
🌳 Time in nature
💆 Wellness spa sessions
💧 Floating therapy
❄️ Ice bath
🧘 Yoga & pilates
🍵 Matcha tea
🔥 Infrared sauna

For a while, I was running on empty, always on the go, living a healthy lifestyle but rushing through it, not giving myself the time I truly needed. My body was sending signals to slow down, and I finally listened. 🌱

Sometimes we forget, but it’s so important to pause, recharge, and care for ourselves. 💚 Here I am, and here’s to carrying this energy through the rest of the year 🙏

Hi everyone !

When you hear “couples retreat,” you might imagine heavy stuff, probing questions, or digging up old wounds. This isn’t that.

This is a fun, relaxing day where you and your partner get to reset. Think yoga, meditation, movement, laughter , nothing heavy, nothing awkward. No pressure to share more than you want. Just connection, relaxation, and enjoying time together.

A few things to know:
• Price is for two people : $450 for both, not per person.
• All couples are welcome
• This is just between you and your partner, not sharing or involving others.
• We’ll be in an amazing location: Mission Bay, at the Kohimarama Boat Club: beachfront, by the sunset.
• Date: 27th of September. Daylight is staying longer, the golden hour is going to be magical.
• Food & extras are included: a nourishing dinner, snacks, cacao ceremony, plus live music : cello & violin by the sunset.

Think about it: $450 divided by two = $225 each and that gets you an entire afternoon & evening of something beautiful and unique. Most dinners are easily $100, concerts $50 or more and here it’s all in one seamless experience.

This is an investment in you and your partner. If you want, it also makes a wonderful gift maybe for your parents, or your daughter and her partner, or someone else you love. We also offer gift vouchers.

👩‍👧 Why I’m Bringing This to the Community

Through my 10 years as a yoga & pilates teacher and over 16 years as Early childhood/Primary teacher, I’ve seen how much children need yoga and mindfulness today.
• Life is fast-paced and stressful, with screens, social media, and busy schedules.
• Many parents and educators have asked for a safe, engaging space for children to slow down, move, and calm their minds.

This program answers that need, combining movement, creativity, and mindfulness in a way that children truly enjoy.

✨ Benefits for Children
• Stress relief & resilience: Helps children manage today’s fast-paced world and social media pressures.
• Focus & self-regulation: Mindful breathing and movement improve concentration.
• Confidence & emotional wellbeing: Children learn to manage emotions and gain a sense of achievement.
• Physical health: Builds strength, balance, coordination, and flexibility.
• Creativity & imagination: Storytelling and art nurture curiosity and self-expression.
• Bonding time: Children connect meaningfully with their adult during each session.

👩 About Your Teacher

I’m a qualified Yoga & Pilates instructor and a fully trained and registered ECE & Primary teacher with 16+ years of experience. I currently work part-time in kindergartens and also teach yoga & pilates in the community.

This program brings together my passions for children’s learning and yoga to create a fun, mindful, and enriching experience.
