Wangapeka Spring Yoga Retreat

13 – 20 October 2024

The retreat experience differs to learning in a class setting. A retreat allows us to step away from the demands of our day-to-day lives and reflect, recalibrate and deeply quieten. Retreats give us the opportunity to discover the many physical and emotional benefits of consistent practice. A week on retreat brings clarity, calm and is gently energising.

Wangapeka is a very special, almost mystical environment for a retreat. Located at the foothills of the Southern Alps and overlooking the Tasman Valley, it is a beautiful part of New Zealand to experience. As a Buddhist retreat centre for fifty years, Wangapeka is infused with a palpable energy and sense of peace which has an instant calming effect on the body and mind.

This retreat will be an opportunity to rejuvenate and turn inwards while also enjoying time spent in nature and with others from our special community. This 8-day retreat will have a focus on rebalancing body and mind through practice. This retreat is for Iyengar yoga students (at least 1 year of experience) who have the intention to develop their practice in a supportive and nurturing environment.

• 7-nights’ single accommodation in cabins, rooms and huts
