Yoga & Forest Bathing in Japan - September 9-16 2018
Forest bathing - just being in the presence of trees - became part of a national public health program in Japan in 1982 when the forestry ministry coined the phrase shinrin-yoku and promoted topiary as therapy. The environment’s wisdom has long been evident to the culture: Japan’s Zen masters asked "If a tree falls in the forest and no one hears, does it make a sound?" Join us on this unique, escorted small group tour (max 8) combining yoga, meditation (experience zazen meditation in a traditional temple) and forest bathing. Immerse yourself in the history, culture and peace that Japan has to offer .
Yoga & Ayurveda in Sri Lanka - October 24th - November 02nd 2018
Indulge and unwind in the beauty and culture of Sri Lanka, practice the ancient healing arts of yoga and meditation, a journey designed to release the everyday stress of life, returning your whole body to a place of balance and harmony.

Some of our previous Yoga Wellness Tours:

Experienced daily yoga and delicious organic cuisine to release the everyday stress of life, returning whole body to a place of balance and harmony.

Yoga Wellness Tour Hawaii Oct 2015
I was honoured to co-lead a beautiful yoga wellness retreat to Hawaii opening our hearts & manifesting our dreams. We stayed in a beautiful eco friendly resort/spa on the big island, practicing yoga daily, enjoying organic cuisine & traditional massage whilst absorbing the wisdom of the peace giving stones and the healing magic of Hawaii. As always on our tours there is time for fun & adventure too, with a helicopter ride over an active volcano, long boat surfing at Waikiki & of course shopping in Honolulu.
One of our group & new to yoga Saroja, joined us to Hawaii & here’s what she had to say
“The Hawaiian Wellness and Yoga retreat was more than I could've asked for in a holiday, with a nutritionist, Yoga teacher and travel agent on-board. Julie, our nutritionist was great and I'll be referring to Julie's site for all the good information www.slimpickings.com.au. The retreat, the organic food, the homemade goats milk cheese, yogurt and ice cream made it complete. The food at the Hawaii Island Retreat was organic and from the property. So everything was fresh. The atmosphere and feeling was so relaxing. We even had time for sightseeing.
I never thought that Yoga would make me feel so good my balance and strength improved and I was more relaxed and stress free. Lisa you did a great job and wish I were in Brisbane so that I can attend your class’s everyday of the week. The calming effect of Yoga was incomparable. I never thought I'd like a slow routine so much.
The best thing about the holiday was that everything was planned and done so well by Liz from J&H tours, who also accompanied us and we didn't have to think about anything, all done for us. Sort of spoilt I think :-) It's just not this tour you can book with Liz and she'll make sure that the planning is done perfectly.
I recommend these tours to anyone, If I can, I can go on and on about the retreat.
I'd like to thank Lisa Turner and Liz Cozier for the great holiday, when is the next Yoga retreat? I will go on any of the Yoga Retreats organised by Liz where Lisa is the Yoga teacher.”
