Namaste In Nature: Yoga & Wellness Tourism Booms In Thredbo

This year has seen its biggest ever demand for mountain Wellness Retreats, as people look to escape into wide-open spaces and reconnect with nature. 

This year has seen its biggest ever demand for mountain Wellness Retreats, as people look to escape into wide-open spaces and reconnect with nature. 

Thredbo Resort’s first yoga & wellness retreat of the summer kicked off over the weekend with a sell-out attendance looking to recharge in the Snowy Mountains.

The retreats offer Australia’s highest yoga classes, mountain-top meditation, and alpine cold-water immersion therapy to refresh and recharge guests.

Thredbo Yoga & Wellness Retreat host Christina Harris said this year had seen the biggest demand for the Wellness Retreats in the resort’s history with a growing number of people keen to swap beaches for the wide-open spaces offered in the mountains.

“Now more than ever, people are looking to recharge and reconnect with nature and the response to the retreats this year has been absolutely incredible.”

“Everyone is keen to escape the hustle and bustle this summer and come here to breath in that beautiful fresh mountain air,” Ms Harris said. 

Hello, wellness

The unique three-day Yoga & Wellness Retreats are led by Jane Corben of the Jindabyne Yoga Shala, who is highly regarded in the yoga world and has more than 40 years of experience on the mat.

Throughout the wellness weekend guests are treated to mountain top sunrise yoga, bucket-list hikes to Mt Kosciuszko, cold water immersion therapy in pristine rock pools and meditation amongst the snow gums.

“By the end of the weekend you could really see the difference it made to guests with everyone walking away feeling refreshed and re-energised and saying how they couldn’t wait to tell all their friends about the retreats,”

Thredbo is hosting three Yoga & Wellness retreats throughout January to March for up to 12 people.

The all-inclusive retreats include 3 nights’ accommodation, a scenic lift pass, activities and an all-inclusive meal plan prepared by Thredbo’s executive chef to ensure guests are fully nourished from the inside out. The program also includes lunch at Australia’s highest restaurant, Eagle’s Nest.

The retreats cost $1199 per person for the all-inclusive package or $799 for an own accommodation option.

The three retreats are sold out, but hopefully there will be more dates released, as the demand is so high.
