5 - Day Retreat August 2017
With Frank Jesse
August 23 - 27, 2017
Immerse yourself in yoga for five days and four nights, and emerge with a new focus and direction. If you practice yoga regularly, our five-day retreats are for you. Even if you are new to yoga, with his 40,000 hours of practice, Frank helps you strengthen and deepen your practice like never before.
Walk or cycle through the Grampians National Park in the free time between your daily yoga practices and Jane Gibb’s scrumptious gourmet meals. Rest, read or enjoy great company. Book a massage. Sample our local cafés and restaurants. Or simply soak up the stunning mountain views from our peaceful, architect-designed accommodation.
Be your best self: refreshed, relaxed, invigorated.
“Griffins Hill remains a gracious home away from home for me. I am both renewed and inspired by my retreats to this wonderfully hospitable and friendly rural sanctuary. Frank, an Iyengar yoga master, is both gentle and knowledgeable, imparting individualised instruction to all. His warm sense of humour assures everyone gains from every session. The food, skilfully prepared from the large kitchen garden by Jane Gibb, a fabulous organic vegetarian cook, is a memorable and integral part of the experience.” David, Coochiemudlo Island, Australia
