As the Tasman region awakens into spring, we invite you to step into a season of deliberate unfolding. This is more than a retreat; it is an invitation to navigate your inner landscape with the same presence and curiosity required to walk the golden sands of the Abel Tasman.
In this empowering shared space, the physical and the contemplative become one. Whether you are finding your footing on the coastal trail or working your edge through a power vinyasa practice, each movement is a step toward personal clarity.
Join Hamish Kenworthy and Lucy Taylor as they guide you through a journey of pranayama, meditation, power vinyasa, vinyasa flowing into Pilates, yin and self-inquiry with discussions. We will also enjoy a day of natural beauty and coastal walking on the renowned Abel Tasman Coast Track one of New Zealand's premier 'Great Walks'.

Hamish runs Your Vital Life Yoga. He has been teaching for 15 years and formerly ran Apollo Power Yoga for 11 years, plus Step into your Power, a 200-hour yoga teacher training course for 7 years.
