✨ WOMEN'S BALI RETREAT — NOVEMBER 2026 ✨
Expression of Interest Now Open

Imagine this…
Waking to warm air and rice field views.
Slow mornings, movement, laughter, deep connection.
Nourishing food, sunsets, sisterhood, spaciousness.
Time to breathe — time to come home to yourself.

In November 2026, myself and Lisa from Botanique Skin Wellness Spa will be hosting a Women’s Only Retreat in beautiful Bali, and we're opening an EOI list for those who want first access.

We will be staying at an exclusive wellness retreat sanctuary, offering:

🌿 14 eco-designed rooms (private + shared options)
🌿 A private gym — the only one of its kind in Bali retreat venues
🌿 Bamboo yoga shala for daily movement + stillness
🌿 Ice bath + 71°C sauna for contrast therapy + recovery
🌿 Cinema room for workshops + women’s circles
🌿 Outdoor + indoor space for strength, flow, reflection + rest
🌿 Fresh meals prepared by in-house chefs + baristas

This retreat is for women craving:
💛 Strength + softness
💛 Movement + rest
💛 Connection + self-awareness
💛 Expansion, healing, laughter + depth

If your body is saying yes, even softly — we'd love to hear from you.
EOI does not commit you, it simply means you’d like more information as it unfolds.

We have one spot left for tomorrow's 90 minute heated Vinyasa and Sound Immersion at 9 am in Burpengary.

$25 pp

Being in the heat might be the last thing on your mind right now but if you are in need of muscular/joint healing and a substantial detox, this infrared heated class is for you. Don't worry, plenty of filtered water available and a beautiful rest at the end of class.

Did you know there are plans to put yoga back on the list of accepted modalities for private health fund rebate?

This is exciting for many reasons; not only because it validates what we have known for a long time (that yoga is a scientifically proven method for preventative health measures) but also a great way to restore movement after injury.

As many of you know I am already an accredited remedial massage therapist with a private fund provider number. I am looking forward to being able to also offer this rebate to yoga students in the future.

Please comment your thoughts below!

Playing around with funky flying lizard in this morning's class. This pose is a variation of the traditional Lizard Pose (Utthan Pristhasana) .

It is an advanced arm-balancing posture that requires core strength, flexibility in the hips and hamstrings, and strength in the arms and shoulders.

Today we practised by moving from a deep hip opener on one forearm with a wrap, then shifting weight on to the crown before lifting the back leg. Next step will be to practice lifting the head off the ground!

If you're not sure where to start with an exercise plan, yoga suits most all bodies and is a great modality to step into. (However it is recommended that you see an Exercise physiologist if you are coming back from surgery or injury for a detailed plan. Personal trainer's can also be a good option for people who are otherwise ok to start weight training.)

The best exercise for older women is a balanced mix of strength, cardio, flexibility, and balance training, tailored to fitness level and any health conditions.

💪 1. Strength (Resistance) Training
• After menopause, women lose muscle mass and bone density more quickly.
• Strength training helps maintain independence, protects bones, and boosts metabolism.

❤️ 2. Cardiovascular (Aerobic) Exercise
• Keeps the heart and lungs healthy
• Improves endurance and energy
• Helps manage weight, cholesterol, and blood pressure

🤸‍♀️ 3. Flexibility and Mobility Work
• Keeps joints supple
• Prevents stiffness and pain
• Improves posture and range of motion

🧘‍♀️ 4. Balance and Stability
• Reduces fall risk
• Improves confidence in daily activities

🌿 5. Mind–Body Exercise

• Supports mental health and stress relief
• Improves body awareness and breathing control.

I am back in action this Sunday 9 am at World Gym Burpengary for hot yoga. Hope to see you there.

Oh and did you know that research shows that heat therapy (such as the type generated by saunas and HY classes) actually helps us ladies to reset our internal thermometer leading to better adaptation to those pesky meno hot flashes! It might seem like the last place you want to be, but the regular exposure will help in the long term. Interesting right 😀
