Transform & Embody

If you are seeking an environment that nurtures personal transformation, allowing you to shed unwanted habits and embrace what truly matters to you, then our Body Harmony One Month Retreat is perfect for you.

What to expect:

Improved function (breathing, walking, digesting, thinking, sensing)
Improved regulation of your nervous system
Beneficial postural transformation
Increased awareness and mindful observation
Increased sense of wellbeing and facility
Improved bodywork soft tissue skills and touch development

We begin the day with awareness exercises: meditation-movement-breathing exercises that build as the retreat progresses. Each segment has a portion of the day emphasising how to read the postures of emotional issues within oneself and others. Each day involves hands-on components where participants rotate between being client and practitioner.

Early Morning Breath and Movement Session – 6:30 am – 7:30 am

Amazing location - Alaya Verde

Alaya Verde is a privately owned 42 acre Noosa hinterland retreat and the location of the One Month Body Harmony Retreat. It is located approximately 15 minutes drive north-west of central Noosa.

Participants have the additional benefits of being on the doorstep of one of Australia’s most unspoilt natural settlements, Noosa. With the iconic beaches, the Noosa River & Lakes, and everything else that the Noosa Shire has to offer – it’s a paradise found.
