Peppers to offer yoga weekends

Peppers Salt resort and Spa at Kingscliff in Northern New South Wales, Australia has released a schedule of weekend yoga retreats for 2013 that combinesyoga and meditation, wholesome cuisine and spa treatments.

Designed for beginners as well as experienced practitioners, the seasonal yoga retreats will take place on 08-10 February, 24-26 May, 16-18 August and 18-20 October.

The theme of each retreat varies to suit the changing needs of the seasons, according to Ryoho (a form of yoga therapy combining traditional Indian Hatha poses with the meridian based healing arts of China and Japan). A special mother and daughter yoga retreat will be held in May.

The retreats are being hosted by Kris McIntyre, who is a Ryoho yoga therapist and writer.

McIntyre said the weekend yoga retreats - now in their fourth year - provide a platform for attendees to get as much as they want out of the weekend.

“We’ve created a yoga escape that is approachable, both financially and in terms of accessibility of the program.

“It sits between the existing offerings of intense and often expensive health retreats and, at the other end of the scale, the alternative bunk-style yoga camps.

“Our yoga retreat is suitable for everyone including mums, hard-working professionals, singletons and couples and for those who have yoga experience orwho are complete beginners," she said.

Priced from A$567 per person twin share, the all-inclusive yoga retreat includes two nights accommodation, five yoga classes with Kris McIntyre, a yoga mat, a 50-minute spa treatment and buffet breakfast daily.
