Alma Yoga ~ Autumn Retreat ~ Rest & Restore

Friday 15th May – Sunday 17th May 2026
Yanada Retreat Centre, Hawkesbury, NSW

As the days shorten and the energy of Autumn invites us inward, join Alex and Martina for a deeply nourishing 2-night retreat designed to restore the nervous system, replenish your inner reserves, and gently prepare body and mind for the Winter season ahead.

This retreat is an invitation to slow down, soften, and reconnect — leaving you grounded, resourced, and supported as you transition into the cooler months.

Over 3 days and 2 nights, enjoy a thoughtfully curated program suitable for all levels, blending movement, stillness, and seasonal wisdom:

Mindful Living Workshops to support balance and renewal in daily life
Time in Nature — bush walks, river swims, quiet moments of stillness

Whether you are new to yoga or a long-time practitioner, this retreat offers a nurturing, inclusive space to reconnect with yourself at your own pace.
