A weekend to Pause, Connect, Nourish & Reset.
October the 9th, 10th and optional 11th.
Register here.
If you didn’t manage to make it overseas for a retreat this year, then this is your invitation to join us in beautiful Hanmer Springs, New Zealand for a well-deserved weekend away.
Retreats really are an opportunity to step away from the daily grind and give your body and mind a much-needed recharge. It’s the balance we all need to keep our energy levels up, stay inspired and continue showing up fully in our daily lives — something that naturally flows on to those around us.
Over the weekend we’ll nourish ourselves through yoga, meditation, hiking and delicious food, along with Sound Bowl healing, deep relaxation in the hot pools and plenty of time to simply slow down.
Our mornings will begin with a 2-hr yoga practice incorporating pranayama, meditation and asana to set the tone for the day.
On Saturday afternoon we’ll have a 2-hour Yoga Lab workshop, giving you the opportunity to explore your practice a little more deeply. Then you might want to slip into the hot springs for a few hours before we meet for dinner.
YOUR RETREAT INCLUDES
4 yoga sessions, including a 2-hour Saturday afternoon workshop
Conical Hill sunrise hike
Sound Bowl Healing session
Day pass to Hanmer Springs Hot Pools
Breakfast and lunch
2 nights shared accommodation
We'll gather for Friday and Saturday evenings, with Sunday evening completely optional and FREE if you’d like to extend your stay and enjoy a slower departure.
✨ EARLYBIRD PRICE: $950
Book by 21 September to secure the earlybird price.
Come on your own or bring a friend — everyone is welcome.

A truly incredible experience!
Some experiences stay with you long after they end, and this one of them. Julie has a rare gift of guiding with wisdom, strength, and genuine compassion. Her classes challenged me physically, but she always created a space where I felt supported, encouraged, and capable of more than I thought possible.
Every detail of the retreat was thoughtfully planned, the beautiful location to the activities that nourished both body and soul. It was so much more than a yoga retreat, it was a journey of connection, presence, laughter, and renewal.
I left with a grateful heart, a calmer mind, and a deeper appreciation for the practice of yoga and for the wonderful community Julie creates. Thank you for such a beautiful and transformative experience. 🙏💛 J.Aislie
“My husband and I attended a 6 day/5 night yoga retreat with Julie Stephens in Bali. It was a truly incredible experience! Julie is a wonderful teacher with so much experience that providing options for individuals of different levels just comes naturally to her. She also has a way of making you feel instantly at ease and created such a welcoming atmosphere that our group felt like family. I found the retreat with Julie so inspiring that I now practice daily, something I have never managed to keep up before. If you are looking for someone to guide and inspire you on your yoga journey, look no further!”
