RESTORATIVE
MORNING RETREAT
A Half-Day Immersion for Deep Rest, Reset & Renewal
Step away from the noise of daily life and into a space of deep stillness and healing. Our signature +4-hour Restorative Retreat is a sanctuary designed to gently guide your body out of fight-or-flight mode and into a state of profound rest, balance, and rejuvenation.
Set in the tranquil surrounds of the Numala forest, this retreat is a complete reset for the nervous system-a place where healing begins not through effort, but through surrender.
Why Restorative?
Restorative yoga is a deeply nurturing practice, especially supportive for those navigating stress, fatigue, burnout, or recovery.
Unlike more active styles of yoga, restorative poses are held for 15 to 45 minutes using props and full-body support. With only five or six postures in the entire session, this practice gives you the rare opportunity to:
• Slow your heart rate
• Calm your nervous system
• Reduce adrenal fatigue
• Observe your thoughts without distraction
• Rewire unhelpful thought or behaviour patterns -gently, over time.
Each posture invites you into stillness, working different aspects of the body from spinal twists to gentle inversions -creating real physiological shifts, emotional release, and a powerful return to inner calm.
What you'll experience
Over the course of this 4-hour retreat, you’ll be guided through a carefully crafted sequence of nurturing practices to support your entire being:
• A full restorative yoga practice
• Gentle breathwork for nervous system regulation
• Guided meditation to ground and reconnect
• Journalling for reflection and clarity
• Mini massages for added relaxation
• Time immersed in the peaceful forest atmosphere
You’ll leave feeling lighter, clearer, and more at ease - in body, mind, and spirit.
This retreat is ideal if you are seeking:
• A nervous system reset
• Recovery from stress, grief, illness, or emotional overwhelm
• Relief from adrenal fatigue or burnout
• A gentle reintroduction to yoga and meditation
• A few sacred hours of silence, stillness, and sanctuary
Come home to stillness.....
Whether you’re looking to restore balance, support recovery, or simply find peace, this retreat offers a rare and beautiful space for deep rest and gentle transformation.
