3 hours of Saturday afternoon bliss 2.30 – 5.30 pm, 23rd August 2025 at Keirunga Homestead. This afternoon retreat is a possibility to reconnect with your core values, emotions and to create a meaningful Sankalpa (sacred intention) that you can work with going forward.
We start our session with a meditation and some connection time and will do some guided journaling around values, emotions and playing with finding the right Sankalpa. Following this work we will have a nourishing, relaxing, gentle Yin Yoga session and Yoga Nidra with Sound Healing, where you can use your Sankalpa. I will provide a selection of herbal teas and light snacks at the beginning of the session.
Venue:
Keirunga Homestead 6 Pufflet Road, Havelock North. You can park on the main car park and walk past the Art / Sewing rooms to the homestead.

The venue is fully stocked with yoga props, but you can bring own if you prefer.
Your own journal and nice pens
Wearing warm layers and bringing a favorite cushion and wooly socks for Shavasana would be nice – anything to make yourself comfortable, depending on the season.
Wear something you can comfortably move in.
Bring your water bottle so you can stay hydrated.
Feel free to bring a special crystal, photo or anything meaningful to you to recharge with positive energy for our center piece.
Yin Yoga is a beautiful, slow, deep, meditative, relaxing practice that calms our nervous system and enables our body to reset and initiate healing processes. Its my favorite form of yoga, especially in these trying times, when outside influences can be overwhelming.
I use my set of 13 original Tibetan Singing Bowls that I have been playing in my yoga sessions and just by themselves for sound healing session for the past 8 years. For me Yin Yoga and Sound Healing is a perfect match to initiate relaxation, calm the mind, gently move and support our bodies clear negative energy, release energy blocks and support good sleep and self healing.
The practice is really gentle. If you are unsure if this session is suitable for you, feel free to message me (021-1614340 / [email protected])
I am looking forward to seeing you then.
