A Day Designed for Your Group

A private Day Retreat gives your group time together away from the usual routines and distractions.

For workplace teams, it is an opportunity to recognise your people, strengthen connections and share an experience outside the normal work environment.

For birthdays, friends and private groups, it is a complete day to move, eat, swim and spend meaningful time together without having to organise every detail yourselves.

The day is privately booked for your group and tailored to suit the people attending.

The Private Day Retreat Experience

Your group’s day brings together movement, food, nature and time away from the usual routine.

Dave will guide your group through yoga and meditation or a breathwork session, tailored to the needs and physical abilities of those attending. Breathwork can be offered lying down or seated in chairs.

The experience also includes time in the infrared sauna, a swim in our natural spring, a vegetarian and gluten-free farm-to-plate lunch prepared by Aune, and sound healing with Tibetan singing bowls and gongs inside our purpose-built timber sound shell.

Between sessions, guests can explore the fruit forest, rest in a hammock by the creek or simply spend time together on the property.

About the Teacher

Dave Deakin has been practising yoga since 2012. He has travelled to India, Bali and Thailand and practised with many world-class teachers. Dave did his teacher training in Bali, where he studied Tantra/Hatha, a lineage-based yoga over 2500 years old, not altered for the audience in the modern world.

"Meditation is one of the main goals of yoga. The best gauge of your yoga practice is how well your life is going. Are you happy, vibrant, and in good health, mentally, physically and emotionally? This is the science of yoga. Be the best version of yourself to live with infinite possibilities. Yoga is built for optimum well-being, not flexibility."

Dave is also a coach, and trained in Ayurveda, traditional Tibetan singing bowls, holistic wellbeing practices, and NLP.
