This year’s YOGA & Meditation Retreat is from Friday 11 until Sunday 13 September 2026, at the Glasshouse Mountains Ecolodge on the Sunshine Coast, QLD.
The Yoga Retreat is suitable for everyone. Regardless if you are a beginner and Yoga is new to you, or you are more advanced and need to give your practice an extra boost. I accommodate and help you each individually. Spring is always a good opportunity to invigorate your practice.
The Retreat is for women and men, even though, we are always more women.
The cost for the weekend is $760.00 per person, it includes the Yoga program, accommodation & the meals. You are basically covered for the whole weekend.
The numbers of guests/participants/Yogis are limited to 12 – 15 persons, that everyone can be in a private room / cabin with ensuite. Unless you would like to share with a friend or family member.

On the 1st of December I started with a 21 days meditation/manifestation challenge, initiated by a meditation group in Germany. Two weeks ago I suggested in a couple yoga classes (so not all of you in the classes know about this). Repeat a different positive affirmation or mantra every day as an Advent Calendar starting on the 1st of December until Christmas. If you were busy or didn’t know about it from me….. do it now or as a family game at Christmas or New Year’s Eve: everyone states a positive affirmation. You can come up with your own or there are many in the books by Louise Hay, Dr. Wayne Dyer, etc. for example.
If you like New Year’s resolutions start at the 1st of January.
You can start for yourself anytime…. and know that many around the world are doing the same. The gist is, when you practice or do something for a minimum of 21 days every day (if you miss one you start again at day one) it becomes a habit.
Here are some examples I created for you as a motivation and inspiration. When you repeat an affirmation often it becomes a Mantra.
Besides being a busy time of the year with Christmas and end of 2019 approaching fast, we are all affected by the current bush fires in our wider area and all over Australia. The smoke haze, bad & dry air, the lack of rain puts extra stress on all of us and our bodies.
So it’s even more important to practice some yoga, meditation, conscious relaxation and deep breathing. Even a class or two over the next few weeks is helpful.
Below is the current timetable until Friday 20th of December 2019.
