Adventure and Yoga are a great combination and make for great get away from the busy world we live in. Only 3 hours from Perth, you can escape the rat race and reconnect to your sense of self and adventure. The beginning of winter makes for the perfect mid year get away to reset and rejuvenate.

Come with us on a journey of self discovery and adventure, encompassing the ancient system of healing from India and the pathways of Ayurveda. We will spend 2 days abseiling and climbing at the spectacular Wilyabrup Sea Cliffs + 1 day exploring 2 caving systems in the spectacular Leeuwin Naturaliste National Park. Your adventure is comprised of adrenaline filled activities combined with deep restful and restorative yoga, breathe work, meditation, and nourishing food. We need a balance of rest and play in life to thrive and live with purpose. To feel deeply alive and connected to ourselves, one another and the natural world around us. The daily activities at Premalaya will nurture you, and the adventure activities will push you out of your comfort zone and make you feel challenged and alive. Both will feed your entire being, making for an epic and unique adventure :)

About Premalaya

https://www.premalaya.com.au/

Located in Yallingup, one of the most pristine untouched parts of the world, famous for its wine and surf. Premalaya sits snuggled amongst pine trees and natural beauty. Uplifted by the Indian Ocean breeze, your soul will be cleansed and rejuvenated as you prepare to explore the region of Margaret River, Western Australia.

At Premalaya, our mission is to create 'a place of love'. We want to make you feel at home. Life is busy and our question to you is, how often do you actually take a moment to breathe in the essence of the present moment? We're guilty of this too, but we are driven to help remind ourselves and you to simply be here right now, because that truly is the ultimate gift in life; the present moment.

We have created a space where you can inhale deeply and be reminded of the essential components of living... enjoying the moment, practising balance, being happy, collecting memories, living each day with love, learning to exhale fully and cultivating the power to surrender.

Our intention: to help peel back the layers and awaken something within you that was already there. We want to bring you love.

During your Adventure you’ll experience ...

3 days of serious adventure abseiling, climbing and caving. If the walls are too wet due to rain, and does not allow for climbing, we will hike for the day on the Cape to Cape Track and check out the awesome sights along this stunning and rugged coastline.

4 nights of comfortable accommodation in a 2 bedroom shared apartment with either your own bedroom OR a shared bedroom. Each apartment has 2 bathrooms.

Daily deep restful and restorative yoga, breathe work, and meditation.

Delicious and nutritious plant based therapeutic Ayurvedic meals provided throughout the retreat, lovingly prepared for you for every meal, including delicious snacks, so you won’t go hungry.
