WELCOME

I love bringing you exceptional high-vibrational yoga experiences! Alongside my classes and workshops, I’m deeply passionate about the transformative power of yoga retreats. Retreats are an opportunity for you to step out of your daily routine and into a more expansive viewpoint, getting really clear on what you choose to manifest, and allowing change to occur. What you experience during a retreat may just well harvest some amazing changes in your life forever!

 As a yoga teacher, I’ve seen the difference one yoga class can make to your day. Can you imagine the difference a whole week immersed in a high vibration of yoga, pampering, and healthy living could make?!

If you choose to join me, you’ll be in experienced hands. I’ve facilitated over 40 retreats in Australia, North America, Asia, and New Zealand and know the key ingredients for a successful one. Researching the perfect locations, loads of preparation, and constant attention to detail are all a huge part of what I do. The preparation is so important to ensure everything happens seamlessly behind the scenes, leaving me free to focus on making sure each one of you is having the best possible retreat experience.

The friendships and connections created on retreat are without a doubt one of the best things we take away from our time together. Community really does take healing, growth, and transformation to a new level – and it brings so much warmth, connection, fun and laughter along with it. “If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” African proverb.

If you’re interested in coming along, please get in touch now, retreats tend to sell out well in advance.

I’m excited to take this journey with you!

BALI RETREAT

Yoga in Paradise. Delight in Bali's warmth, magic and hospitality as you nourish and nurture your mind and body. We will use the theme of a different element (Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Space) each day to inspire us to go deeper into our Yoga and meditation practice.

VIETNAM RETREAT

Immerse yourself in the rich culture and history of Vietnam and feel the essence of the land. Vietnam’s raw, charming, unspoilt, romantic beauty will capture your heart. Experience the flavours of local cuisine specific to the area of Hoi An, the hospitality and friendliness of the local people.

OTAKI RETREAT

Our Spring Retreat weekend includes 4 yoga sessions, morning meditations, deep yoga nidra (relaxation) & other activities throughout the day. Our yin yoga practice is accompanied by live music & includes self-guided myofascial release. Be pampered on this weekend of health & healing!

RETREATS ARE OUR THING!

But don’t take our word for it, here’s what some of our retreat participants had to say:

Demetria, California, USA

“It was an extraordinary experience for me to be on a retreat led so effectively by a married couple.  The organisation of the elements as a daily theme with yoga and light language was profoundly transformative. The retreat centre truly was an oasis, and I was amazed that everyone at the retreat stayed in health and harmony throughout the program.  

It is safe to say that Matt and Marie under promised and over delivered.  It was a generously high value experience at a very reasonable cost. The excursions and group experience were also very supportive and powerful.”

Mandy, Bali

“I am hugely grateful to Matt & Marie for an incredibly supporting, nurturing, expansive & enjoyable retreat and for bringing us to such a beautiful resort. As we start turning our minds to heading back to our day to day lives, I choose to use the memory of this time to sustain me and remind me that we have everything we need inside us and to always relax and trust as we observe the releases in our lives.

I must also complement Matt & Marie on their organisation; everything was arranged and set up, from the meals to the outings, so that all we had to do was turn up and focus on our own growth and development. Working with Matt & Marie is something extraordinary. I can’t wait to go on another retreat.”

Jen, Virginia, USA

“The retreat in Bali with Matt & Marie and our group is an experience I won’t forget for 2 Reasons:

#1-Paradise.  From the breath-taking views at our lodge, a magical waterfall experience, a very powerful and palpable water cleaning ceremony, to some of the most incredible food I’ve ever tasted, we were soaking in high vibrations the whole time, which allowed for even intense and powerful daily energies to become integrated with ease and grace.

#2- Arriving at the retreat I felt burned out, lacking passion for what I did, and unclear of how to move forward in my relationship and career. A mere week later I left the retreat feeling incredibly empowered, supported and confident in moving forward.  

Even now, about a month later I’m finding that money and clients are flowing to me nicely, I am excited about “putting myself out there”, feel connected and aligned with my passion and my relationship with my partner has opened up to a surprisingly new level of growth and intimacy. Thank you, Matt & Marie for inspiring and empowering me to live a life of balance, space and allowance for all of these wonderful things to unfold.”

Robyn, Kapiti Coast, NZ

“I have been fortunate enough to participate in three retreats facilitated by Marie and Matt, with a fourth scheduled for Spring 2018!

Marie and Matt take care of everything so that as participants all we need to focus on is showing up and doing our personal work. Beyond the amazing food, thoughtful accommodation, and incredible activities/adventures, Marie and Matt create and hold a beautiful space that facilitates positive transformation. Their experience in yoga, meditation, and facilitating transformation creates a safe environment that allows participants to honour their true selves and really retreat from the world outside.

I have attended these retreats alongside my partner and the retreats have supported us on our journeys as individuals and as a couple. The benefits endure well beyond the retreats themselves and we will continue to attend retreats where we can to continue our learning and growing”.
