What people are saying.

  • “I have attended a number of the retreats run by Marlborough Yoga Retreats ranging from 2 day events to 3 day overnight events in and around the Marlborough region including the beautiful Marlborough Sounds, Picton and Blenheim. The courses are always of the highest quality in instructors, each one bringing new instructors who I have continually learnt new things from. Great food, wonderful company and an annual treat to myself, I would recommend Marlborough Yoga Retreats to anyone interested in exploring yoga sutras or just needing time out to refresh yourself.”

  • “I was invited to teach kundalini yoga by Marlborough Yoga Retreats, facilitated by Anne Brooker. I decided to offer some body work that was so well received, just the right amount of beings to fit in-between the amazing schedule of activities. I still had time to lie in the sun like a lazy lizard and listen to the water lapping and the birdsong. There is no healing power as great as Mother Nature. What an idylic location - it is something so special when you boat into and from your location. We had dolphins jumping out of the water, the sun dancing on the water MAGIC ! I loved so many aspects of the retreat . . . I loved attending 3 of Chaitanya Deva's Hatha Yoga classes from https://kindredstudio.co.nz/we-offer/yoga/ We are truly blessed to have such high caliber teachers right here in Nelson. I loved hanging out with plant based Chef, ‘Damian’ Often seen foraging for food and flowers, who works with ratios and not recipes - my kinda guy. Inviting me to taste test so much yumminess and saving me bowls of food when I was running late. I loved swirling my hands in the phosphorus floating around the jetty, under a beautiful crescent moon late in the evenings. I loved getting to know and sharing space with Anne Brooker, who kept pulling the retreat together, moment to moment, keeping it flowing and seamless. I loved the collaboration of people who worked together as a team offering up their gifts, sharing the prosperity and the space. And I just loved meeting all the women that gathered from all over the South Island, sharing stories, dreams and appreciation. Thank you so much for the window of restoration".
