Retreat time ✨

Join for me a yoga retreat 23-25 May 2025. Spend a weekend diving into your yoga practice, creating space in the body and mind for stillness.

Bodhi Khaya is about 3 hours from Cape Town, their food is amazing, and the surrounding nature reserve is very peaceful.

I hope you can join me 🙏🏻

Reflecting on an incredible weekend retreat I hosted at Bodhi Khaya in Stanford. Over the course of 10.5 hours of yoga, we were able to truly settle into a deeper state of calm and presence. The time between classes was spent hiking through the stunning fynbos-covered mountains and swimming in the nearby dams.

A heartfelt thank you to the 10 amazing participants who took time out of their busy lives to immerse themselves in their yoga practice. I feel so privileged to share what I love with such wonderful people, in a setting as beautiful as the Grootbos area.

, thank you for hosting us — everything was perfect. The food was exquisite: healthy, delicious, and nourishing. And the yoga studio was perfectly nestled in a tranquil setting, providing the ideal space for our practice.

I will definitely be back! Stay tuned for upcoming retreat dates 😉.

Throwing it back to 2016 in this photo😅
It’s so amazing to be on this yoga journey. Yoga becomes the mirror that reflects how you’re doing mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. When one returns daily or even weekly to the practice, you learn to become attuned to the bodies signals, leading to wiser choices in food, sleep, relationships, jobs and lifestyle. Yoga gradually changes your life ❤️

The rest of the day is spent with Steve on the boat, searching 'safari style' for ocean wildlife experiences such as cruising dolphins, bait balls, feeding frenzies, hunting gannets, jumping whales, and sharks. The evenings are spent winding down with some gentle yoga. The yoga will be tailored to the group and will be accessible to all levels are practitioner. All yoga props are provided.

Join Monique Woolls-King for a weekend away to immerse yourself in nature and your yoga practice. Just 1,5 hours from Cape Town, this retreat is the perfect opportunity for a stress free escape from busy routine and a chance to deeply relax.

There will be 4 yoga classes, giving us a chance to dive into alignment and, because it’s a small retreat, much attention can be given to each individual.

This retreat is for all levels. You will go deeper into your yoga practice in a gentle and supported way, with help from me and props.

About Monique:

Monique has been practicing yoga for 14 years and teaching for 7. In 2015 Monique left her career in Architecture to dedicate her life to being a student and teacher of yoga. She is passionate about teaching yoga because she believes it guides people to live more connected, authentic, fulfilled and sustainable lives. Monique teaches the traditional style of Iyengar yoga, which has an alignment focus. Iyengar yoga is ideal for absolute beginners who want a safe introduction to yoga, but also provides deeper, more nuanced instruction for those more advanced.
She believes that it is in the alignment that one finds true freedom in yoga, and that alignment can help one go much deeper into one’s yoga practice.

This Sunday, 9-11am, join me for a workshop to learn all about the Vagus Nerve. The Vagus Nerve is the 10th cranial nerve and is fundamental to the functioning of our parasympathetic nervous system (the calming one). When the vagus nerve is stimulated, the heart rate slows and many of our internal processes function better. Stress is reduced and we feel we can cope better. In this workshop you will learn many ways of stimulating the vagus nerve to increase your vagal tone. The better vagal tone you have the better you are at handling stress - and who couldn't use a bit of that? R150 via zoom, notes included. The recording will be made available for 48hrs after the workshop for anyone who can't make the workshop time. See you there.
