A bit more about what to expect…
Each day you there will be an early-ish morning yoga session, and an afternoon yin yoga practice.
Kimi Ora is surrounded by Nature and you will have plenty of time to explore and enjoy the stunning surroundings.
The Kaiteriiteri mountain bike park is close by, if you are feeling energetic, and it’s a short walk to the sea.
In the resort you will find all the facilities you need to relax and unwind. There is a hot tub and sauna, as well as a heated indoor pool and an unheated outdoor pool for the braver souls!
If you’d like a treatment at the Day Spa during your stay, this can be arranged directly with the team at Kimi Ora.
I love being out in Nature, it totally fills my cup, so I am keen to include a hike on Abel Tasman if people are keen, we are so close here!

Testimonials from prior retreats:
“This retreat was just what I needed – it was the perfect length, in the perfect location. Jo’s teaching style is so inclusive and non-confrontational. She brings yoga back to what it should be, which is enjoyable and what is comfortable for you. I would definitely come again!”
“The yoga retreat was epic. Jo is a fantastic yoga instructor and guided me with ease to find my level of ability. No pressure, my pace and a fun retreat. I highly recommend you put Jo on your bucket list !!”
