In our busy lives we often overlook the needs of our body-mind.
Often much time is spent on self-criticism, worry & extended stress – physical, mental & emotional.
This lifestyle can lead to dissatisfaction, despondency & health crisis.
We feel there is no time to tune into natural rhythms & our intuitive path in life.
A personal retreat allows time to relax & recharge & to reconnect with our deeper nature.
It offers an opportunity to schedule a time where our health comes first.
And it will remind us to take care of ourselves & to treasure our health.

Yoga practices begin with the outermost aspect of the personality – the physical body. Asanas help to keep the body
healthy by removing tensions and massaging the internal organs.
Breathing techniques are important not only for supplying the body with fresh oxygen and strengthening the lungs,
but they also have a direct effect on the brain and emotions, balancing the nervous system and putting us in touch
with more subtle energies and aspects of our being.
Yoga Nidra is a useful and powerful practice in which one learns to relax consciously releasing both physical and
mental tensions.

NIVEDITA SARASWATI is an experienced teacher of yoga, deep relaxation and meditation with a special interest in promoting individual health and wellbeing.
Nivedita trained as a Social Worker, with a focus in the field of mental health, before taking further training in traditional
yoga and mediation and Grief Recovery.
She has been working in this field privately for many years with the focus on adapting traditional techniques to support
health and lifestyle.
The increased awareness of the importance of healthy lifestyle habits alongside the renewed appreciation of local travel
make Killiecrankie, Flinders Island, Tasmania a unique and memorable setting for these Holiday Yoga and Meditation Courses.
The courses offer a lovely low key way to learn and gain confidence in gentle movement, healthy breathing techniques, deep relaxation techniques and a few different meditation tools to support everyday health and well-being.
They will be suitable for individuals, small groups and include specialises options eg low mobility courses (from a chair).
These courses offer a range of dates to suit your needs and lifestyle.
Nivedita supports the view that time spent in nature- near the ocean and mountains, the trees and fresh air; the uncrowded and unpolluted environment profoundly supports our health, our resilience and our intuitive nature.
Regular practice of these techniques not only greatly aids in the maintenance of good physical and mental health by reducing stress, but also brings about a sense of profound personal wellbeing.
