1st November – 4th November 2021
Yoga. Pilates. Meditation. Mindfulness.
One of the 74 magical Whitsunday Islands, surrounded by nature and culture, Elysian is a world away from technology and the fast pace of life. Let me take you on a journey of self-care combining mindfulness, yoga, pilates meditation, and massage.
Relax and unwind your nervous system and find the joy in the simplicity of life again, with like-minded souls, on this 3-day wellness yoga retreat.
The retreat is open to singles and couples with or without any prior yoga or retreat experience. Fly to Prosperine Airport on the Whitsunday Coast, then catch a public bus or taxi to Airlie town (30-40 minute drive).
If you are arriving the day before, I would highly recommend staying at Coral Sea Resort. This resort features an amazing location on the beach, a fabulous view for sunset and sunrise with everything you need in one location. The resort is only a short walk away from Airlie, along the bordwalk through the lagoon to shops and restaurants.
