Retreats
Retreats allow us to step away from the demands of our day to day lives and rebalance physically, emotionally and mentally. The extra time on retreat enables us to quieten and deepen our understanding of the practice.
The daily schedule includes pranayama, meditation and asana which bring about clarity of mind and vitality.
Tessa has taught retreats regularly since 2008, in some amazing places including Bali (a favourite location), Bhutan, Tibet and Sri Lanka. We also love our local retreats held at very special places here in Aotearoa.
