Welcome to Peaceful Retreats

---

 Nestled within towering redwood trees and peaceful countryside grounds, our retreat at Minsteracres Retreat Centre offers the opportunity to slow down, reconnect, and truly reset.

Created by two experienced yoga teachers with different teaching styles and approaches, this retreat is designed to welcome all ages, abilities, and stages of life. Whether you are completely new to yoga or have practiced for years, you will feel supported throughout your stay.

Expect nourishing movement, mindful walks through the forest, meditation, forest bathing, rest, reflection, and meaningful connection in a calm and peaceful setting.

 This retreat blends two complementary styles of teaching:

• Flowing Vinyasa and deeply restorative Yin Yoga, sound bath. 
• Gentle Hatha Yoga and modified yoga suitable for over 50s or anyone wanting a softer, more mindful approach

Together, the sessions create balance — movement and stillness, energy and calm, strength and softness.

Our aim is not perfection or intense schedules. This retreat is about feeling good in your body, calming your mind, and giving yourself space to breathe. 

 This retreat is suitable for:

• Beginners and experienced yogis
• Solo travellers
• Friends attending together
• Men and women of all ages
• Those wanting rest, relaxation, and gentle connection
• Anyone feeling overwhelmed, busy, or in need of a reset

You do not need to be flexible or experienced to join. Every class will offer modifications and options to suit your body and comfort level.

• Daily yoga sessions
