Alchemic yoga is a healing art.
Taking focus into visualisation, imagination and transforming that into a belief. Once you believe it happens.
Alchemic yoga focuses on the three essences of body, soul and spirit and their relation to the chemistry of the body. We first seperate the three to wash away old beliefs or unwellness then create a new pattern and finish by fixing in the cells allowing manifestation of the best.
This style of yoga creates increased internal flows, core strength, balance of the glands, activation of the chakras.
And is suitable from beginners to teachers. Those wishing to heal and grow
Natalie will guide you into deep meditations allowing you to reset your vibe. Teaching a unique style of yoga (only 5 teachers of this style in the world) that will increase the flow of lymph and blood ten fold, as the fluid flows and energy moves you will transform your old inhibiting patterns patterns.
Revibe with sound, recreate through visualisation, rejuvenate as you stretch and move in a gentle but strong yoga style 'alchemy'. Create transformation in your health, your emotions, your DNA.

Just wanted to thank you Natalie for the retreat, you shared and gave so much, also the food was soooo wholesome and delicious!!!
I have noticed some changes within me and it feels good. I have been feeling happier ever since, a bit flat today but I know that's just the mind.
I am waking up at 6.30 every morning and going for a walk and doing my breathing exercises and mental quietness before work. I think doing this this at the retreat three days in a row changed my old habits.

Accommodation:
https://sanctuaryretreat.com.au
Eco rainforest Huts
A minimalist design maximises the sights, sounds and smells of the rainforest whilst giving some personal space to those creatures you may prefer not to sleep with. Accessed by a boardwalk to protect the forest floor, the rainforest huts have no solid walls, instead the timber structure is screened on all four sides with weather proof curtains able to be drawn for privacy and protection from adverse weather. Each hut has a small veranda, simple furnishings and sleeps two in either double or twin occupancy. Bathroom for this style of accommodation are in the Main building. The Next style (Al-Fresco) is a Rainforest hut with attached outdoor Funky En-suite bathrooms with cold shower.
Deluxe Cabins
Of solid wooden construction, with ample, screened glass windows, the canopy cabins offer maximum protection from the elements, while still offering a close connection to the sights and sounds of the forest.
Larger than the rainforest huts, these cabins are stylishly appointed with polished wooden floors, handmade natural timber furniture and spectacular glass-walled bathrooms looking out high in the trees.
With a studio-style lounge and bedroom and a private, furnished veranda, the canopy cabins offer superior accommodation in an entirely natural environment.
