this could be us
I've been meaning trying to write this email for a few days now.
Partly because I've been reminiscing about the Winter Retreat, but mostly because I've been so excited to finally share what's next.
We're going back to Yanada.
This time, not for Winter Solstice.
For summer.
When I first started hosting retreats, I honestly wasn't sure if they were for me. They take a lot of planning, a lot of trust, and a lot of energy behind the scenes.
But something shifted for me over the past few months.
Watching people arrive on Friday carrying the weight of everyday life, then seeing them leave on Sunday a little lighter, laughing a little more, having made new friends... it's pretty special.
So we're doing it again.
Summer Retreat
27–29 November 2026
Yanada Retreat, McDonald Valley
The feeling of this retreat will be quite different.
Winter invited us to slow down.
Summer invites us to move.
We'll spend the weekend practising yoga, meditating, kayaking along the river, swimming, painting with watercolours, laughing our way through Jeevi's Laughter Yoga session, sharing beautiful vegetarian meals, celebrating the beginning of summer with ceremony, and finishing the weekend with restorative yoga and sound healing.
And of course, there will be plenty of free time.
Time to read.
Time to nap.
Time to sit by the pool.
Time to simply exist without needing to be anywhere else.
Everything is optional.
If you want to come and spend three days reading a book in a hammock, we'll fully support that too.
Accommodation options include shared dorm, twin-share and triple-share rooms, with payment plans available from just a 10% deposit.
If you'd like to join us, bookings are now open.
As a little thank you for being part of the Nin Yoga community, you can use the code SUMMEREARLYBIRD for 10% off before 31 August 2026.
The code works for both pay-in-full and our six-month payment plan.
You can find all the details here:
I'd absolutely love to share another weekend away with you.

P.S. If a tropical adventure is a little more your style, there are still a couple of places left on our India Retreat in March 2027. You can learn more at www.ninyoga.com.au/india.
P.P.S. This Sunday is our monthly Silent Satsang from 9:00am–12:00pm. It's just $10, or free for unlimited members. Bring a book, journal, knitting, drawing, your laptop, or simply come and meditate. The only rule is that we keep the space silent so everyone can enjoy it in whatever way they need.
