“Yin practice takes you deeper into where you are, not out to where you think you should be”
– Sarah Powers
Join Megan and Dee for a weekend retreat exploring Yin Yoga and traditional practices to help you slow down and nurture your sense of self.
Retreats are an opportunity to nurture yourself on all levels whilst deepening your understanding of and connection to yoga. It feels truly luxurious to do this whilst stepping away from the responsibilities of day-to-day life and fully immersing in your wellbeing.
Our Autumn retreat will feature a deep dive into the practice and principles of Yin Yoga with Megan, with hands-on and energetic assists provided by Dee. We’ll move our bodies through practice twice daily, adding meditation, mantra and breathwork. We’ll enjoy a workshop on Yin Yoga. We’ll spend time talking about our love for Yin and Yoga over healthy, warming meals. It will be an enlightening and soothing experience for mind and body, especially at a nervous system level.
Over the weekend you’re invited to add a touch of pampering to your retreat experience – join us on a visit to nearby Hepburn Bathhouse & Spa, or check out the in-house Turkish Hammam*.
Our venue, Continental House, offers plenty of nooks to curl up with a cuppa and a good book, plus we’ll immerse in nature in the stunning surrounds of Hepburn Springs. If you feel so inclined, there’s free time to take a drive and sightsee in the local area and shops, or walk around Daylesford’s famed lake.
Join us for a retreat designed to nurture and help honour the slower, softer Yin aspect in life. We promise to add warm company, laughs and good food to the mix.

Finally, a personal note from Megan…
“If I had to name my three favourite things in life right now, Yin Yoga would absolutely be one of them. Teaching AND practicing it. Yin Yoga is a magical thing to experience, and to hold space for. There’s a palpable shift in energy when someone comes to Yin. They often enter hot, stressed, fragile and anxious. They leave slowly, like walking on a cloud, more present, grounded, connected and at ease.
Imagine a whole weekend of feeling like this. And what life might look like when you have the tools to take the experience (and mindset) home with you. This is what Dee and I will be delivering on retreat. We can’t wait, and we’d love for you to come benefit from it.”
