Halls Gap Recreational Reserve, via Melbourne
Sunshine Yoga and Health offers you a delightful weekend at the quaint little town of Halls Gap, 262 kms north/west of Melbourne. This picturesque town has a population of just 300 people. It sits at the bottom of the famous and amazing Grampians National Park, one of Victoria's most outstanding natural features.
The town is within easy reach of many natural attractions, including unique rock formations, scenic lookouts and waterfalls. It is popular with lovers of outdoor activities, from bushwalking and abseiling, to fishing, canoeing and wilderness adventures.

Feedback
"I have just been on my first Sunshine Yoga Retreat with Lyn Thomas. It was excellent. Yoga, relaxation, meditation, breathing - perfectly interwoven as they are meant to be. Taught in a setting that was fun, warm, sharing and open. Lyn is a rare teacher: smart, wise, giving, clever, witty, easy, energetic, knows her stuff inside out and is a joy to be around and to learn from. I had a fabulous weekend, I am grateful to you Lyn - thank you - and I very much look forward to the next opportunity I have to go on one of your retreats."

"Thank you for an amazing weekend. I cannot adequately describe how much it helped Rachel and I to get away - to spend time with such amazing people (yourself and your partner particularly) at such a beautiful place. It has reminded both of us how we could feel, how we should feel! We won’t ever forget it. Thank you for your time, love and energy you put into this retreat - you really did make it a special and unique experience."
Alwyn, New Farm, Brisbane
