The Self Love Day Retreat

A DAY OF SELF-LOVE & DISCOVERY

A Day to Pause, Reset & Reconnect

In the busyness of everyday life, it’s easy to keep going without ever really stopping to check in.

The Self-Love Day Retreat is a spacious, grounding day designed to help you slow down, reconnect with yourself, and gently reflect on what you need more (and less) of in your life - without pressure, fixing, or overwhelm.

Now in its fourth year, this retreat has sold out each time and continues to offer a supportive, down-to-earth space for rest, reflection, and meaningful self-connection.

Set at Yoga House , a peaceful historic space beside a quiet stream, with bush reserve and the ocean close by - the day invites you to step away from the noise and come back to yourself.

What to Expect

This retreat blends movement, reflection, learning, and deep rest to support your nervous system and overall wellbeing.

Throughout the day, you’ll be guided through:

• Opening Circle - A welcoming space to arrive, settle, and gently set the tone for the day.

• Breathwork (Pranayama) - Simple, accessible breathing practices to support calm, presence, and clarity.

• Yoga & Movement - A combination of gentle Vinyasa, Yin, and floor-based movement to release tension, improve mobility, and reconnect with your body.

• Reflective Self-Inquiry & Journaling - Guided prompts to explore values, boundaries, and what self-care looks like for you right now.

• Walking Meditation (weather permitting) - A mindful walk to connect with nature and integrate the morning’s practices.

• Individual Reiki-Infused Mini Neck & Shoulder Massage - Each participant receives a short individual session combining hands-on massage with gentle Reiki energy, supporting relaxation and nervous system regulation.

• Meditation & Yoga Nidra - The day closes with a deeply restorative Yoga Nidra practice. This guided meditation supports deep rest and works with the subconscious mind, helping to soften habitual stress responses and gently shift unhelpful thought patterns or self-beliefs.

• Closing Circle - A grounding finish to reflect, integrate, and leave feeling calmer, clearer, and more connected.
