PATHWAYS OF POSSIBILITY YOGA RETREAT
Guided by the landscape of the Abel Tasman and the terrain of the Self
ABEL TASMAN
17-21 SEPTEMBER 2026
As the Tasman region awakens into spring, we invite you to step into a season of deliberate unfolding. This is more than a retreat; it is an invitation to navigate your inner landscape with the same presence and curiosity required to walk the golden sands of the Abel Tasman.
In this empowering shared space, the physical and the contemplative become one. Whether you are finding your footing on the coastal trail or working your edge through a power vinyasa practice, each movement is a step toward personal clarity.
Join Hamish Kenworthy and Lucy Taylor as they guide you through a journey of pranayama, meditation, power vinyasa, vinyasa flowing into Pilates, yin and self-inquiry with discussions. We will also enjoy a day of natural beauty and coastal walking on the renowned Abel Tasman Coast Track one of New Zealand's premier 'Great Walks'.
HAMISH KENWORTHY
Hamish runs Your Vital Life Yoga. He has been teaching for 15 years and formerly ran Apollo Power Yoga for 11 years, plus Step into your Power, a 200-hour yoga teacher training course for 7 years.
Hamish is the current NZ Yoga Teacher of the Year. He teaches with enthusiasm and dynamism, balancing philosophy, mindset and movement to empower and inspire his students. Hamish was NZ's first certified teacher of Baptiste Power Vinyasa Yoga, as well as NZ's first certified teacher of the Budokon Primary Yoga series. He was previously the yoga coach for the Canterbury Crusaders rugby team. Hamish has taught over 10,000 classes and we are thrilled that he will bring his experience and knowledge to guide this retreat.

ABEL TASMAN NATIONAL PARK HIKE
On Day 3 we will walk* the most varied section of the Abel Tasman Coast Track from Medlands to Anchorage with return boat transfers from Kaiteriteri. This walk features the impressive Falls River Swing Bridge plus the new swing bridge across the Torrent River, and the long golden sands of Anchorage Beach.
Distance 10.6km (6.5 miles). Max. elevation 150m (500ft)
*If a student wishes to not participate in the walk, they can choose to stay on the boat and enjoy a cruise along the coast, or relax and enjoy the resort facilities at Kimi Ora.
KIMI ORA ECO RESORT
Kimi Ora Eco Resort, located in Kaiteriteri, New Zealand, is a premier destination for yoga retreats, offering a philosophy of 'seeking health' (Kimi Ora in Māori). Nestled within 12 hectares of tranquil native bush, it provides a secluded environment ideal for mindfulness and restoration. This is the perfect location to escape from daily distractions and focus on yourself.
