Background to how we got started in Yoga Retreats!
Making time for your own health and wellness is a theme that Vanessa is passionate about and it is what makes her yoga retreats so special. She dedicates her yoga retreats towards helping her students explore the many parts of yoga; including meditation, yoga asanas (practice), strength and focus, mindfulness, restoration and rejuvenation for the mind body and soul and becoming the best person we each can be, with the ultimate goal of happiness and peace. Throughout the year are wonderful one day yoga retreats at the Yoganess peaceful inner city studio. Vanessa has also found much pleasure in preparing nutritious tasty food. She has had foot scrubs and foot baths, healing massages, there has been mindfulness mandala making, tea ceremonies and cooking classes too!
After hosting two beautiful international yoga retreats to Bali in 2018 and 2019 and after 'that' 2020 year, Vanessa has held three major yoga retreats in New Zealand. Now we have the freedom to travel, are you coming to Bali with us in August 2022?
"To my lovely yoga students that have attended my retreats, thank you so much. I feel blessed that you choose to spend your precious time with me and am so happy that you are continuing to explore your yoga and meditation practice at a deeper level. My wish is that you'll continue to choose you and know that yoga doesn't just happen on the mat, it's in the positive choices you make, the language you speak, the love you have for yourself and the love you share with others. Namaste, Vanessa x"

Testimonials
Our Yoga Retreat Students say...
Thank you so much for an amazing journey. When anyone has asked about it I have raved about the yoga, the food and all the other wonderful things we did. So thank you once again Vanessa for such a wonderful experience, which was definitely a highlight. Terry Bali Retreat, 2019
The Bali yoga retreat was amazing. It was fun, beautiful, relaxing, exciting and peaceful all at once. I had a wonderful time and am so thankful that I was able to attend. It was an amazing group of people that you lead so well. Thanks again x Charlotte, Bali Retreat 2019
Bali Retreat 2018 was everything and more than I thought it would be, it was a wonderful group enjoying their practice in an amazing Eco setting. I felt very blessed to be able to come along and be pampered with lovely treatments, good and healthy food and leave feeling relaxed from my Bali Bliss, I would not hesitate to say to anyone 'just do it for yourself' you will not be sorry. Thank you Vanessa for arranging this retreat for us, your attention to detail and planning made our time at Swasti just glide along in peace and serenity of our 'Bali Bubble' - feeling blessed, Jan.
Come on the next Bali Yoga Retreat, it is an awesome experience and good value but don’t take my place!! Thanks to all your organisational skills Vanessa, your kind thoughts and consideration, it went beautifully. Gill
Its definitely well worth the money. Its great for the soul. Food and accommodation was fabulous. Spa treatments were wonderful. Yoga was amazing and it was also great to try out the yoga at the Yoga Barn, Kylie
Would recommend the Bali Yoga Retreat for sure. A wonderful setting and venue, peaceful, a good mix of meditation, yoga (I love your yoga classes!) plenty of time for relaxing, shopping etc. The venue, Swasti, so beautiful. The staff were so, so kind. So friendly, so helpful. Nothing was a problem. I loved talking to them. The food!!: healthy, vegan, organic, imaginative, plentiful. I guess I would say - another yoga retreat please, this one and the venue was pretty perfect. Jane
"Thank you for a wonderful day of yoga retreat day yesterday. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute. You do a superb job of organising everything - including of course all that delicious food!" Sheryl
