Knysna Forest Yoga & Adventure Women's Retreat

RESTORE - REJUVENATE - RECONNECT - REAWAKEN - REWRITE

It's time to step out of slumber and into wonder!

Join us for a lfe-changing, adventurous and uplifting yoga journey in the beautiful lush forests of the Garden Route in the Western Cape! 
During this retreat, we will not only be delving deep into restoring the alignment of mind, body, and soul, but we'll also be exploring the exotic outdoors of Knysna, Plettenberg Bay and Nature's Valley where we will enjoy activities like hiking, kayaking, beach excursions and snorkeling. We'll also be going on a guided walk through ancient forests and learn all about wild edibles. 

Why we're not 'just another yoga retreat'....

Explore Dream Discover Health offers a transformative holistic experience which harnesses and interweaves ancient practices such as yoga, meditation, scripting and nature immersion together with wholefood superfood nutrition and sisterhood empowerment in order to align mind, body and soul.
Our retreats are not meant to be ‘escapes’,  but rather adventures which stimulate your personal growth and healing. 
Our programs are designed to facilitate your authenticity, so that you can express your unique self in an unashamed, unapologetic way and in turn share your gifts with the world! Our aim is to return you to the city with a revived sense of purpose and determination and at the same time in a state of deep acceptance, presence and detachment.

It is the deeply restorative transition from survive to thrive.
Struggle to release.
Slumber to wonder.  

Join us for an unforgettable experience in some of South Africa’s most breathtakingly beautiful places,
where we take you on a journey to open the door(s) to self-discovery!
