The Concept
We designed this for the busy person wanting to get away on retreat, but has too many things going on to take 4 days off. This is for you. Finally a chance to re-ignite the burning flame that lives inside you. To take a moment to pause and reconnect to yourself in our very busy world.
Senior Teacher and Yoga Trainer Patty Perlman leads 3 master classes over Saturday + Sunday morning. Her focus is to work closely with you, your mind and your breath to realign you into your centre. Lower stress, learn new yoga poses, understand your body's subtle energy, drop into your parasympathetic nervous system and develop a realistic home practice, even if it's 15 minutes a few times a weeks.
Wether you are new to yoga and meditation or a seasoned practitioner, this weekend of mastery will send you home inspired, calm and with a new outlook on how we approach stress, time management and wellness.
The Classes
Designed as a course and carefully placed in sequence, Patty will take you on a thoughtfully curated journey of self discovery so each class builds and flows from one into another. You can expect a combination of yoga asana (physical practice), pranayama (breath-work), meditation, philosophy discussions and guided relaxation. See Itinerary Tab for full class descriptions.
The Location
Situated in the heart of the Vally, Brisbane's Hotel X is walking distance to New Farm Park, Howard Smith Wharves and shopping precinct James Street. This newly built hotel features beautiful King or Twin Share rooms, rooftop pool, gym, two restaurants and in room massages. Not to mention some of the most accommodating staff we have ever worked with.
The Food
Breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner during your stay is included in our Urban Retreat. In collaboration with Bisou Bisou + Iris Rooftop we have prepared a special menu for guests. We eat plant based with the optional addition of eggs, fish and chicken. We serve coffee, tea, Plant Water and offer champagne for light consumption at dinner only. We can cater vegan + for allergies, just let us know your dietary preferences when you book.
This retreat is for the busy person who needs a night away. Time to themselves to reconnect. For the person who needs to retreat but only has a night or two to get away. For the person who wants a cheeky wine at the end of the night.

What's on The Schedule?
Saturday 8-11am
Welcome and introductions flow into a 90 minute Chakra opening yoga class to gently unfold the body. A long savasana, with eye pillows and essential oils, and short discussion about chakras and the subtle body to finish. This class is inspired by time spent ebbing and flowing in the Mexican desert. It's about diving deep into the waters of our being and letting go of the external forces that throw us out of balance.
Saturday 1-4pm We arrive in silence for a guided meditation practice that includes mantra, visualisation and pranayama. We then flow into a practice that combines yoga nidra and meridian based yin yoga to ground our moving energy from the morning practice. A short discussion and Q&A to finish.
Sunday 8-11am
Meditation, intention setting and yoga enliven the soul for the first half of the class. After a relaxing crystal bowl & savasana, we discuss key philosophical principles of yoga and how to apply it to parts of our day to stay calm, connected and content when we're home.
