In nature, winter is the season for hibernation – a time for resting and restoring and the perfect time to focus inwards and build strength and stability in the body. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, winter is when the water element in the body is most prominent. This energy system is linked to the structural integrity of our body and its shape, our sense of identity, our hormonal and nervous systems, our bones, sexual energy and reproductive functions. This is the ideal time of the year to deal with issues including lower back issues, stress and hormonal imbalances.

This all-inclusive weekend includes accommodation at Peppers Salt Resort & Spa, six yoga classes with Kris McIntyre, meditation and relaxation sessions, Golden Door Spa treatments, wholesome meals inspired by the Golden Door with the special touch of Peppers executive chef Reuben Radonich.

The weekend is designed to give you the option de-stress and unwind or just enjoy a relaxed weekend away with your partner or a group of friends. It’s not a ‘hard core’, boot-camp style yoga retreat, but you’ll have the opportunity to work hard if you wish to.

The weekend is open to beginners, but a basic level of fitness is required. Non-residential and non-yogi packages (for accompanying companions) are also available.

Prices start at $533 per person (twin share). Non-residential packages are available from $390 per person. For bookings contact: Jolene Napper at Salt Conferences & Events, Phone: (02) 6670 5009 or email jolene.napper@conferencesandeventsatsalt.com.au
