YogiFish

Ocean Swimming & Yoga Retreat
5-8 December 2024
Leigh, New Zealand

If you are a nervous newbie, floundering freestyler or transitioning lapster, this retreat is for you!

During these four days, the focus is on supporting you to be courageous, stay curious and gain confidence in the water and on the yoga mat.

For this inaugural beginners’ swim/yoga long weekend, we’ll build up our swim distance to 1 kilometre exploring the protected bays, hidden beaches and crystal-clear waters of our diverse Leigh region.

We’ll be joined by Sydney swim coach Fi Ellison and our local yoginis Wendy Douglas and Mary-Jo van Hoppe.

This escape is not about medals or miles – it's about supporting you to gain/regain confidence, learn technique/gear tips and important open-water swimming skills, and enjoy safe open-water swims with like-minded poddies – with wrap-around support from a competent trained crew.

You’ll also discover how to relax, let go and find your yoga flow ...
