I'll be honest, this retreat is not for everyone!
It's for the ones that feel the pull...

* to experience a new adventure
* to practice daily yoga, meditation and pranayama
* to indulge in daily 2-hr Ayurvedic treatments
* to explore the rich Indian culture

I only have a few spots left for our September retreat and would love to fill them with the right people.

This isn't just a retreat, it's an immersion into yoga, culture and a completely different way of living.

If India has always been on your radar and you have been waiting for the right time to go, then this is your invitation to join a great group of like-minded friends.

Send me a message and I'll personally get in touch -

An awesome message from Shanti! It's going to be a goodie :)

Get in touch to save your spot, but don't waste time. We start this Friday.

If you can't make the whole weekend, options are available - www.juliestephensyoga.co.nz

We’re so excited to invite you to a restorative weekend yoga immersion at Founders Park with the radiant Julie Stephens — a gentle, nourishing pause to reset your body, calm your nervous system, and reconnect with the coming stillness of autumn moving into winter.

What to expect

Saturday: Flow, breathwork, Foundations workshop, and movement with Julie — deliciously grounding and accessible for all levels. Julie’s 26+ years of teaching bring a warm, intuitive approach that helps you move beyond the surface of a usual yoga class.

Sunday: More amazing yoga and a backbends workshop. I’ll be guiding a warm, practical Microbiome Workshop in the middle of the day— an easy, heart‑led dive into how to tend your inner garden: reduce bloating, lift brain fog, calm inflammation, and feel more energised through simple food and lifestyle shifts.

Why come?
This is more than a weekend — it’s a chance to slow down, learn tools you can actually use at home, and reconnect to your body’s wisdom. Think cosy studio, soft mats underfoot, nourishing conversation, and an uplifted, hopeful vibe as the seasons shift inward.

Details & Investment

When: Friday–Sunday, May 1–3

Investment: $285.

Spaces are limited — we’d love to hold a mat for you.

Ready to join us?
Reserve your spot or find out more information here.

I am looking forward to moving and tending our inner gardens together. Bring a friend, bring your curiosity, and bring something to smile about. ✨

Prana — the life‑force energy that moves through breath, body, and thought — and this weekend is a gentle invitation to feel that flow more fully.

With warmth,
Shanti 🌿

Welcome to our first tailor-made Yoga Wellness weekend immersion, 2026!

With over 26 years of teaching yoga, I've noticed a common thread - while the physical practice often draws people in, yoga has many layers waiting to be explored: the subtle currents of breath, energy, presence and a deeper connection to ourselves and the world around us.

In a 60-90 minute class, there's only so much depth you can experience, which is why I'm offering this immersive weekend - an opportunity to take the next step and move beyond the surface of a distracted mind.

Through mindful breathing, conscious pauses, and freedom to move, we connect with our body, mind, and spirit - creating space, lightness, grace and ease...and from there we tap into the Flow State.

What to expect:

* 3 x 2-hour practices which include Meditation, Pranayama and Asana.
* 2 x physical workshops - Foundations of Yoga and Backbends.
* 2 x lectures - Introduction to Yoga Philosophy and the importance of gut health/microbiome which will be presented by Shanti Smith.

All teachers and students are welcome!

If this resonates, take a moment. Pause. Breathe in. Breathe out.

Then come join us - and reconnect with what truly matters.

If you have ever wanted to go to India, then this is your chance!

Starting off your travels with a retreat is a great and gentle introduction to the Indian culture 🩵.

Many guests start here and then organise ongoing trips after the retreat. These trips can either be organised with a private driver, or maybe you'll decide to travel with a fellow guest? Either way there are plenty of adventures to be had 🤗.

If you have any questions or would like to chat about travel plans, don't hesitate to get in touch!

This really is an amazing lifetime experience 🥰

✨ Last Chance ✨
This is it — doors close tomorrow for Clive Sheridan’s weekend workshop, beginning tomorrow evening here in Nelson.

If you’re walking the yoga path and feel the call to deepen your practice, this is a rare opportunity.

Teachers of Clive’s depth and presence don’t come through Nelson often and to study with a teacher of this calibre, in an intimate local setting, is something truly special.

Clive's teachings take him around the world each year, so we are incredibly fortunate to have him.
