Yoga-qigong for people who might never have done a yoga retreat - or never dreamed of ever being able to do one. This is yoga-qigong - gentle exercises - where we work on increasing our inner and physical sense of well being. You don't have to be fit or flexible to do this kind of yoga. Warming up the body and preventing injury is a priority.

Three day retreat adventures!
You can do a three day retreat any of the dates listed above!
This is how it works: You book your own accommodation separately to the day yoga retreat activities. Then at 9 am we meet for indoor yoga, approximately 15 minutes from Stanthorpe. If the weather allows that day we branch out and start the outdoor yoga-qigong retreat activities at 10.15. If the weather is hard on us we continue indoors. The program includes standing yoga poses, qigong movements, dance and meditations, walking meditation, Tibetan bell sounds, and attention to detail in nature exercises. Lunch is at 12.30 and a walking meditation finishes each day's program between 1.00 and 1.30 pm.
What to bring
Bottle of drinking water, fruit, picnic lunch that can be carried during a bush walk, sturdy shoes, warm clothes and a picnic blanket. You will need transport.
Booking the three day retreats
The cost for the day retreat activities is only $50 per person per day (during 2008). Fill in the contact form and the details will be sent to you. Limited places — so bookings with payments are essential to secure your place. Book now!
