DOWN-TO-EARTH WOMEN’S YOGA RETREATS IN VICTORIA, GREECE & BALI
We believe all women deserve to experience the magical movement practice that is yoga. We also believe nobody should ever feel they are not skinny enough, flexible enough or strong enough to do yoga.
Our women’s only yoga retreats in Victoria, Greece and Bali are far from traditional. We offer a different kind of retreat. There’s no chanting or opening circles, and we won’t take you through any chakra cleansing or goddess practices. We do think you are a goddess, but we’ll tell you so when you’re having a well-earned cocktail by the pool. It’s not that we have anything against traditional yoga retreats, it’s just not our jam…
Since 2017, we’ve been hosting yoga holidays for women who love to travel, and pamper their tastebuds with delicious and healthy food & wine as much as they enjoy a yoga session. And just so we are clear, when we say women, we mean ANYBODY who identifies as a woman.

HIGHLY recommend Sab and her STUNNING RETREATS. The yoga, accommodation, food, wine and landscape has left me wanting more....AMAZING! A very special weekend away - with an incredibly inspiring host (Sab) and all the fabulously fun women. Loved it! I'll be booking another:)

This would have to be one of those experiences that I would highly recommend. It was beautifully organised with an amazing yoga instructor Sab. The Venu in the Otways was simply pure bliss. We had yoga before dinner on the day you arrived. The next day we practice more yoga in the morning before breakfast and a simply relaxing session before dinner at night. The rest was your time to relax, unwind and simply do what you want to do. It's you retreat! The private Chef cooked up delicious Vegan flavoursome meals that were presented beautifully. This retreat is a excellent way to unwind, relax, detox, meet new people and take up a great practice, yoga. If you are a wanting to to try something new like yoga or love yoga I highly recommend Sab @retreathere. You will not be disappointed.

So excited that the Online Yoga With Sab is back. These classes kept me sane during lockdowns and now I can still do amazing yoga classes without trying to find a local studio. Highly recommend joining an online class!

Sab is a wonderfully vibrant and humble host who truly goes out of her way to make each of her retreat guests feel comfortable, relaxed and connected to their own intentions and desired from the experience. With well thought out yoga sequences and sessions integrated into the retreat, she ensures that each of her guests is grounded and benefits holistically from all the aspects of yoga - including relaxing yin yoga, beautiful morning flows, deeply relaxing yoga nidra and opportunities to explore different methods of asana and mindfulness. This retreat is for anyone that loves yoga (and amazing food/wine)! But also for those who may be new to the practice, as she skillfully guides and facilitates connection to the self and your own experience of each asana/flow. Sab thoughtfully holds space for each of her retreat guests, encouraging true self love and personal time through the abundance of opportunities to connect meaningfully with others, indulge in delicious and nutritious meals, giggle over a glass of bubbles, but also time to just be (however that looks for each of us), with plenty of space for you time. Her enthusiastic and encouraging nature means there is no pressure or expectations, other than making the most of this time for yourself! I truly recommend this retreat to anyone seeking some time away from their busy lives to just be, connect with other wonderful women, find embodiment through yoga and relaxation at its best! Thanks so much Sab, I will definitely be coming to your retreats again! xox

I have been on multiple retreats now through Retreat Here and will continue to do so as each retreat is fantastic - they are thoughtfully scheduled, with a great balance between unscheduled time, classes and group socialisation time. Sab is genuine and welcoming and you can easily attend solo, knowing that the other attendees are going to be like minded and the company enjoyable.The most recent retreat held down in the Mornington Peninsula was a delight. The venue was outstanding and Sab's classes catered to all levels of proficiency, as always. The included meals were a highlight, as was the location.I highly recommend Retreat Here if you are looking for an extremely well run yoga escape.

Went to my first retreat in the Otways in December- Great to meet Sab and the gang! The retreats are curated to give everyone time to relax, do yoga, make friends and enjoy delicious/healthy food. Everyone was very welcoming and friendly- would definitely recommend these retreats!

Had a fabulous time at this women's only yoga retreat. The food was delicious, the accommodation and surrounds beautiful and the yoga restoring and energising. Oh, and the delicious wine and cocktail making class were good too. Sab sets a really lovely vibe - the whole weekend felt both relaxed and decadent. Have already booked the next one! Highly recommend.

Sab (The Founder) was welcoming, knowledgeable and so much fun to retreat with. The food and wine/ cocktails were amazing and everyone was so impressed with the balance between wellness and having cheeky fun. We had freedom to explore the area / alone time / laughs together at the dinner table and structured well thought out yoga classes that was ultimately body healing and relaxing.

I had a fabulous time on this retreat and am already looking to book in the next one! Sab has created a truly unique experience that I can’t recommend highly enough. The yoga was thoughtfully curated, food amazing and delicious and you couldn’t get a more beautiful setting than the Yarra Valley. Thanks Sab, I felt truly relaxed and rejuvenated!

What can I say, Sab is amazing!! From the moment we arrived at Cheeky Fox Retreat we were able to switch off and relax. Our yoga sessions were tailored to the level of the group, with options to advance if the individual needed. The food was amazing, so full of flavor and yummy! Thank you Sab, we will be back!

This would have to be one of those experiences that I would highly and confidently recommend. It was tastefully organised with an amazing yoga instructor Sabin, and daily yoga sessions indoor and outdoor, complimented with great venue, The Cheeky Fox retreat. A beautiful house in the Yarra Valley, daily in house chefs putting together such flavoursome meals, healthy and presented beautifully. Great activities were planned for each day, life drawing session, winery visits and lunches. Great way to unwind, relax, detox, meet new people and take up a great practice, yoga. If you are a foodie, wine lover and wanting to to try something new like yoga or love yoga I highly recommend @retreathere.

Thankyou Sab for hosting such a wonderfully relaxing weekend! The yoga was just what I needed, and it was great to try a variety of classes (yin, flow, nidra, and sound healing). There was no hectic schedule or pressure to do any activities you didnt want to, so was perfect for a bit of backyard sunning and reading. The food was AMAZING, I cant speak any higher of the wonderful chefs from @madame_feasts who provided delicious canapes, mains and desserts all paired with perfect wines. The venue at the Summer House was beautiful, and nice and close to the beautiful coastline for beach walks. I would come back again in a heartbeat!!

Highly recommended experience! The yoga and wine retreat day tour with Sab was amazing and I came back home that day with a wide smile on my face, my heart filled with good vibes and my mind nourished with good information about Yarra Valley wines and the wine industry. Melbourne’s countryside and Yarra Valley have so much to offer and discover!.... thanks Sab for organizing these amazing trips, such an interesting opportunity to have fun, learn and discover. Yoga and wine retreats are an innovative combination of outdoor yoga (or in case of rain, barrel room yoga!), wine degustations and stunning landscapes.The logistics of the trip was impeccably organised by Sab plus our van driver was a very friendly lady, responsible and knowledgeable. When we arrived at the first stop, we had a beautiful yoga class taught by Sab, I can tell she is the warmest person, her class was inclusive to all levels, and it doesn't matter if you are new at yoga or regular practitioner, everyone will enjoy this session !!! Sab is a sweet and caring teacher.After the class we had the first wine tasting guided by an expert sommelier.Later, we visited a second vineyard with a cozy restaurant settled just in the middle of the green vines, what and amazing panorama!! We enjoyed a delicious lunch with a glass of wine of our choice, that was a great treat! (You have options to cover different dietary needs, food is delicious and dish presentation is gourmet quality.)Finally, we went to a third place where we had a final wine tasting at a large table with all the beautiful ladies participating in the retreat.Personally, I had nobody to accompany me on this adventure, so I went there by myself but I never ever felt lonely. The rest of the group were so nice and friendly ! You have a chance to meet new people, have chats and tons of fun and laughs. Plus, Sab is always there willing to help you when you need it.Last but not least, looking at the price of the yoga and wine tour and the inclusions, it really is great value.Like I said above, I highly recommend this yoga retreat with Sab and I will repeat it as soon as possible!Much loveCecilia

I went on this yoga retreat know one other lady plus of course Sab - I came away having forged some lovely friendships with 5 other ladies as well. The Summer House is absolutely perfect for this retreat location, the food cooked up on Saturday by our personal chefs was amazing and the laughs and of course wine and yoga was just what we all needed. I can't wait to do it all again in March 🙂

A wonderful weekend with Sab and a fabulous group of ladies I had never met before! It doesn't get much better than a Retreat Here Yoga & Wine Retreat! The Summer House in Torquay was beautiful and the food was amazing! Apart from being an awesome yoga instructor, Sab ensured everyone got what they wanted from the weekend. Lots of laughs, time to relax (be it a nap, a walk or time to read a book), a couple of wines with dinner and of course, plenty of yoga. I had the most enjoyable time and I can't wait for the next retreat in March 2021!

I joined the yoga and champagne breakfast sessions and I think it was awesome. Sab is a great instructor, her class is catered for all levels. I love that she takes her time to check on her students and check our alignments. She is very friendly too! Great vibes from both the yoga class and the breakfast.

I recently joined Yoga and champagne breakfast and thoroughly enjoyed it!! Sab is an excellent Yoga instructor and her class caters for different levels.I was a bit rusty as I hadn’t done yoga in a while, and felt great afterwards.Sab is friendly and welcoming (and easy to communicate with before the event), and so were the rest of the group! I highly recommend joining!

If you're looking for a relaxing getaway that won't cost a fortune, look no further. I've been lucky enough to go on two yoga and wine retreats with retreat here. The first was in Nov 2018 at the Yarra Valley lodge and the second, which I won as a door prize, was for the galloping retreat at Balgownie Estate last weekend. Both retreats were well organised, the location, food, wine & yoga were all superb. It was so lovely to just relax, meet and spend time with like-minded people. Sab, Claire & Bethany you're all doing an amazing job and I wish you luck for all your future events. Looking forward to booking in another retreat some time soon! 🙂

The yoga class was amazing (thanks Claire!) complete with a stunning view, the company was fantastic, and the wine and food were delicious. Thank you Sab for organising such a great day out, I thoroughly enjoyed the day and the combo of yoga and and wine is just perfect. I’ll definitely be coming to more events! 🙂

I recently attended a yoga and wine day trip to the Bellarine Peninsula with Retreat Here. From the moment I expressed an interest in joining this excursion, I found Sabijn and her team to be very professional, welcoming and accommodating. The day itself was well organised, fun and filled with delicious wines and food of a very high standard. I look forward to attending many more of the events organised by the team and would recommend this event for a nice weekend escape, fun with friends and the perfect balance of yoga and wine (together, at last! 🙏🍷!!)

Retreat Here organised a fabulous retreat for our business Mums Who Wine in Daylesford. Sab made it absolutely seamless, she was attentive, punctual and always available to assist. The manager of the venue when we attended the retreat even made comment that Sab was the best agent he had ever dealt with, making it so easy on their end. Very thankful and could not recommend Retreat Here more highly.

Working with Sab at Retreat Here made planning my Yarra Valley yoga event a breeze. She took care of all communications with the venue, worked out the retreat schedule and itinerary and crunched the numbers for me. I'm excited to be working with her on my next retreat in Tuscany and Bendigo.

Very quick to assist us and provided a lot of great ideas!We were not looking for a Wellness Retreat ourselves, but more of a relaxation holiday (I suppose that is kind of a wellness retreat..), the quotes and itinerary provided was exactly what we were looking for, and easily updated when we had other thoughts or ideas.Highly recommend!
