‘WINTER WELLNESS’ RETREAT

You are invited to immerse yourself on an end of Winter retreat. Spend three days/two nights cultivating a sense of ease, softness, slowness and peace, as we take some time to reflect and refresh at this mid point of the year.

The retreat will be held at Sage Manor, Bowral, from August 21 - 23, 2026.
Arrival from 3pm Friday, and departure at approx. 11am on Sunday — exact timing to be confirmed.

This sacred time will include morning, afternoon/evening yoga practices, varying in style from gentle flow, yin, and restorative, as well as meditation and time in nature. There will be opportunities to pause, learn, create, rest deeply, reset and energise, plus time to connect - with yourself and those around you.

Yoga retreats are a truly magical time, where a peaceful, sacred pause is offered. We can strip back all the busyness of life and settle into ourselves for some reflection and respite, to unwind and move forward with a deep sense of peace and softness.

Whilst there will be a consciously created schedule of activities, there will be free time too. Every practice is optional, so if you need to take some time out, you can always choose to honour your individual needs. 

STAY

Sage Manor expands over 3 acres at the base of Mt Gibraltar, Bowral. Located close to hiking trails, and close to town for any last-minute needs. There is a fire pit on site and 2 outdoor ground meditation spaces.

The conservatory/yoga studio is an all-purpose space. The studio is north facing with beautiful light and energy.

Throughout the Manor there is a sunroom, casual living area, library, a second living space, as well as a large dining area. Overall there are plenty of comfortable spaces, and lounging areas for guests to enjoy, enough that guests can also find some quiet spaces for their own stillness.

Externally there are 3 alfresco eating and relaxing areas that cater to all the seasons. A fire pit, hammocks and an amazing fallen tree that highlight the back gardens and meditation areas.
