Testimonial from Sandy, Nelson

I am a regular attendee at Jo’s Vinyasa Flow class.

I have learnt so much from Jo in these classes. She is warm and encouraging, explains the postures with calm and gives plenty of options for each one. There is no judgement or comparison in Jo’s classes.

Recently, Jo has introduced outdoor yoga and it is lovely connecting with nature as part of the practice.

Jo’s special Savasana is a highlight and you leave feeling your body relaxed and your mind at ease. I always look forward to the next class!

Overview

Rest and Revitalise!

Join me for a transformative retreat under the full moon, designed to help you feel grounded, nurtured, and centred. What to expect:

• Yoga & Meditation: Daily guided meditation, Vinyasa Flow yoga, and Yin/relaxing yoga sessions.

• Nature Immersion: Enjoy the stunning surroundings of Baton and spend time in Nature walking and swimming with the option to help the Baton Valley Trust on the land.

• Nourishing Food: Host and herbalist Ange Palmer will create delicious, meals and share her knowledge of the local plants.

• Optional Vision workshop: Make the most of the full moon as a time to focus on reflection, release, and manifestation. Let go of what you no longer need and bring new intentions into your life.

About Baton House - the house is situated on 60 hectares of idyllic countryside, bordered by the pristine native bush and untouched rivers of the Kahurangi National Park, about 90mins drive from Nelson. Owned by the Baton Valley Trust, whose mission begins “We aspire to achieve small-scale, sustainable conservation, in order to maintain and regenerate native species of flora and fauna…”

Their approach to the land aligns with my own belief that we are part of Nature and not separate to it, responsible for its care, as “When the land is well, the people are well.”

Being at Baton House means you are immersed in Nature and you will have plenty of time to explore and enjoy the stunning surroundings, or just relax.

The yoga classes are for all levels, please be mindful that if you are an experienced yogi wanting a challenge then this probably is not the retreat for you.

Give yourself the gift of time. Three nights and two full days to relax, explore, unwind and make a positive difference in special surroundings.

Accommodation

There are a variety of sleeping options including shared rooms and a tipi – we’ll choose beds on arrival. Your own tent or camper is an option as well.

Food

Nourishing, vegetarian, wholefood meals are provided, along with snacks, herbal teas and coffee.

Investment

Limited to 8 participants, this is a relaxed, intimate retreat for an investment of $660 earlybird before 31st Dec2024, or $695.00 which includes all meals, shared accommodation (including bedding and towels). Please read the terms and conditions and if happy, contact me via the booking request form below to reserve your place.

I look forward to welcoming you.

March 1st 2025 from 10.00am-4.30pm

March 29th 2025 from 10.00am-4.30pm

This day retreat is designed to nourish your body and soul, allowing you time to disconnect, recharge and relax, in the beautiful surroundings of the Waimea Estuary.

Hosted at Jo’s home, you are invited to leave your worries (and maybe your phone) at the door as we connect to Nature, ourselves and each other throughout the day.

Jo will share a Vinyasa Flow yoga practice outdoors (weather permitting!), and later in the day a meditation/relaxation practice.

Your choice of one of these fabulous treatments is included in the day, provided by Sam, an experienced beauty therapist and fellow Bronte resident:

• Back massage

• Indian head massage

• Eyelash/eyebrow tint and tidy

• Mini facial

Warning - once Sam has worked her magic on your eyebrows its hard to go anywhere else!

A nourishing vegetarian lunch will be provided using vegetables and fruit from the garden where possible and non-alcoholic drinks will be freely available throughout the day.

There will be plenty of time to relax, enjoy your surroundings and maybe have a soak in the cedar hot tub.

Treatments will take place throughout the day but are timed so you don’t miss anything!

Flow of the Day

• Welcome and orientation

• Vinyasa Flow Yoga

• Relax/treatments

Investment

Limited to 6 participants, this is an intimate day retreat for an investment in your wellbeing of $195.00, you can choose either the November or March retreat.

Bring along a friend or loved one and you each pay $175.00, a saving of $20.00 each!

Note that we would love to take photos on the first retreat so please advise if that is an issue and we will work around it.

You can find the booking terms and conditions here.

We look forward to welcoming you.

Jo + Sam

This will be the 5th Find Your Flow Retreat at Mana and each year it’s refined to reflect what people say they need, to get the most out of their time here. 2024 participants wanted “more of the same!” which means that the Vinyasa Flow Yoga, meditation, Yin Yoga and breathwork will all be a part of the weekend. And we will, of course, be spending time in the spectacular Tara Sanctuary again!

Gift yourself the time to explore wellbeing practices that allow you to destress and connect to yourself, each other, and Nature away from your busy life so you can feel grounded, nurtured and centred.

Being at Mana means you are immersed in Nature and you will have plenty of time to explore and enjoy the stunning surroundings. We will also explore some different meditation and breathwork practices so you can perhaps find something that works for you that you can incorporate into your life.

Each day you there will be a guided meditation, Vinyasa Flow yoga practice and an evening Yin/restorative yoga session.

Everything is optional and all you need to do is decide the flow of the days that will help you relax, recharge and reconnect. The classes are for all levels, people new to retreats and yoga are welcome. Please be mindful that if you are an experienced yogi wanting a challenge then this probably is not the retreat for you.

I look forward to welcoming you.

Testimonials from prior retreats:

“What a wonderful experience at the Mana retreat. This was my second time attending Jo Flow with three friends, and we could not fault her retreat. Jo is extremely intuitive and naturally understands what we want: a mixture of yoga and breathwork its like a big hug and pure bliss. It is just what the doctor ordered, and we will most certainly be back.”

“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 + The Flow Co on your bucket list !!”

https://www.seachangetonga.com/whales-other-activities

Note:

Tonga is a remote Island Nation with limited infrastructure, making things a tad pricier than you might expect. It’s also a one-of-a-kind experience, there are very few places in the world you can spend time with the whales in this way.

This is a non-profit adventure, so I have tried to minimise costs by having shared accommodation.
