It is so wonderful being back in the studio with you.
Thank-you so much for adapting and growing with us. It's so nice to feel our community buzz returning and growing with such enthusiasm. We know there are lots of changes to get used to and together we are learning how to make it work. Here are a few things we really need to consider moving forward:

In Studio Classes

BOOKINGS, WAITLISTS & CANCELLATIONS

Class bookings through our App or Website are essential for In Studio classes.
Waitlists move quickly, when you put your name on a waitlist, please keep an eye on your emails as you'll be notified when a spot becomes available (check junk folders etc)
If you no longer want your spot in a class you’ll need to cancel at least three hours before class starts or take yourself off the waitlist to avoid cancellation fees or a forfeit of your class
Please keep in mind we have a strict constraint of 10 mats - we don't want to prevent our studio friends from joining a class if the option could have been there for them.
Cancellations have been occurring frequently which means last minute bookings are very possible, just check the app.
Fortnightly Auto-Debit Memberships: Please understand that when an auto-debit payment goes through, you can book classes for the fortnight but not beyond until the next payment goes through and so on. If you wish to book beyond your current fortnight, you might prefer to purchase an upfront pass. Example, 6 months upfront means you can book 6 months ahead.

On Line Classes

Remember, there is always the option to practice at home. Our Online Studio with 240+ on-demand and live-stream classes is complimentary to all Unlimited Members and Unlimited Pass holders. (These passes are available via our app and website)
Online Only passes are also available - via the website only.
To access the Online Studio, remember to create a new login (this is different to our booking system and requires its own login - best to set it up with the same details you use with our booking system and let us know when you've registered so we can give you access)
It is not necessary to book into the live-stream classes but encouraged, you can simply open the relevant class when time. However, to be aware of timetable changes, it is always best to check the app and book in.
Instructions for accessing Online Studio, Online Only Passes and Live-Stream classes found here.

KIDS YOGA TERM 3

Ages: school grade 4 – grade 6
Dates: Wednesdays for 8 weeks
(22nd July – 9th September)
Time: 4.30pm – 5.30pm
Investment: $175
Teacher: Amanda Pittard

Through both energising and relaxing activities our little yogis explore themes around self-confidence, happiness, courage, connection, creativity, uniqueness, growth, gratitude and more.

We do this through visualisation, yoga postures, breath, games, meditation and relaxation.

Establishing an understanding of body, mind, breath and emotions your child builds a toolkit to serve them in their life off the mat.

Enthusiasm, creativity and a sense of belonging is encouraged with our little tribe.

Always a fun, energetic, relaxing and rewarding afternoon. The kids LOVE it!

This term we have new games, new themes and new experiences to explore.
Be prepared for lots of fun with the lovely Amanda.

THANK YOU

I want to say a really, really HUGE thank you to the amazing people that saw a way of helping and just went out of their way to offer their support. It was a really big job keeping The Retreat afloat during this time, but i wanted to ensure this amazing community still had access to yoga and to community connection during a time where it has been very much needed.
I want to thank Amber for all her support, particularly with all her amazing work with The Retreat's social media. THANK YOU AMBER - you really are a life-saver and i so appreciate all of your support here. It means the world and you do such an amazing job.
And thank you to Pam for seeing the struggle and offering to help. Pam has helped load the classes to our on-line studio. It was the blind leading the blind but we got there. THANK YOU PAM - it meant the world when i could lean on you every few days for a little support.
Small business can be lonely, pandemics (i now know) are extremely unsettling. Letting others help is what strengthens community, builds connections and forms friendship. Thank you Amber and Pam.
And also, thank you to Natasha who gives the studio an additional good clean once a week - THANK YOU NATASHA it is so nice knowing that your extra bit of love keeps our studio sparkling and welcoming.
And of course, THANK YOU TEACHERS - I think you would agree that the teachers have done an amazing job adapting to on-line teaching, connecting with our community through the screen and growing and changing to support the evolution of The Retreat - well done team.
And THANK YOU EVERYONE that continued to support us while our doors were closed, i am so grateful and it really made all the difference... and THANK YOU EVERYONE returning through our yellow doors... WELCOME HOME.
I would hug you all so tightly if i could.
thank you. pru x
