Winter Warmer Retreat

AUGUST 16th - 18th
Illawarra NSW

This retreat was so divine, I have decided to run it again this year in spring/winter 2025

Traditional Hatha and Raja Yoga retreat held at the beautiful Brahma Kumari Centre
A weekend focused on healing, rejuvenating and re-connecting. Practices that focus on warming us during these cooler winter months; igniting the Agni (fire) within to pierce the sheaths (physical, energetic and mental layers) to bring light and a saturation of 'prana' to the self in preparation for the awakening of spring. Healthy, warming vegetarian food, asana, pranayama, yogic philosophy, gentle walks in the nature and deep relaxation will deeply calm the nervous system, nurture and elevate your spirit as we move from one season to the next.

$600 early Bird Price if paid before 1st June.
please contact Emily for more details.

The Retreat in India was the highlight of my life

The retreat which Emily arranged in India in 2011 was the highlight of my life.

A particular highlight of the tour was the practising of yoga and meditation every single day. When not in the ashrams, Emily was magically able to find available spaces where we could practise our yoga – whether on rooftops or in gardens or spare studios in the guesthouses where we stayed. One such studio looked out through large french windows onto a ghat on the Ganges. When we closed our eyes for meditation we could hear the river gushing loudly and zestfully by. The sound and sight of the scene filled us with chi – practising yoga was never more wonderful than on that day!

Because of her unique capacity to communicate with local people, it seemed that our group received very special hospitality and friendship wherever we went. I think that local people understood and respected the sincerity of Emily’s mission to awaken her students to the spiritual wonders and ancient wisdom of India. I can certainly recommend a yoga retreat with Emily and would go anywhere with her – even to the moon!

French Alps Yoga Retreat

Emily and Lucas chose a very beautiful place in the French Alps for their 2014 retreat. Our accommodation lodge was very cosy and comfortable, and after the yoga sessions we often went on trail walks leading us up into snow drifts with hillside picnics and fabulous views. Lucas provided all our delicious meals and of course Emily is a legendary yoga teacher. She designs the yoga practice to suit those in her class and has a deep knowledge resulting from many years of practice with Acharya and yoga teachers in India. We had the best of all worlds there.
