Before you have visions of yourself lying in Savanasa with an empty bottle in your hand, let me stop you right there. I’d like to start by saying we won’t be handing out Straws ‘n Shiraz during our yoga and wine retreats in Melbourne. There will be no drinking vino and tree-posing at the same time. Neither will we make you ‘stretch to reach for the bottle’. No no.
First we practice yoga, then we drink the wine. The obvious reason is to avoid any injuries, but more so to respect the practice. We know the general consensus of Yoga is that there are certain restrictions in place. Most yoga retreats – including ours – go hand-in-hand with organic, wholesome and healthy foods.
Whereas we love clean eating, we’re also strong advocates of a living a balanced lifestyle and we’re not afraid to indulge a little. Enjoying the good things in life – slowing down, forgetting about Netflix and social media, admiring the sun rise, enjoying cheese platters paired with silky wines and flowing conversations. All of these are just as important as green juices and exercise.
BENEFITS OF A YOGA AND WINE RETREAT
Whether you step on the mat after a hectic day or curl up on the sofa with a glass of red, you’re allowing yourself to unwind and slow down. Practicing yoga and drinking wine (in the right moderation) are both experiences that can reduce stress, encourage social connection and improve relaxation. And that’s exactly what our Yoga and Wine Retreats are all about.
We want to connect (with) like-minded people, whisk them away to stunning destinations where they can relax and share memorable experiences together. Think inspiring conversations (in real life, thank you!), jaw-dropping excursions, organic cooking classes, spa treatments, wine tasting (obviously) and yoga classes – of course.
Every retreat will be different, and we’ll always make sure we leave plenty of room for rest and relaxation. Curious? If you love wine, yoga and flowing conversations, we want you there!
