What to expect from this Retreat?
We have adapted our already well known Yoga Retreats to a team experience. Besides offering the teamers an opportunity to rest and relax, this retreat is also an opportunity to learn stress management and other valuable skills to take back to the office!
We know that working in this fast paced world we live in while trying to juggle our personal lives and time for ourselves is a real challenge! Stress, anxiety and even depression is a common concern companies have for their employees nowadays. But how can we find a balance between productivity and wellbeing? Recent studies have proven that healthy and happy employees, mentally and physically, are much more productive and time efficient than having people struggling with their emotional and physical health at home and at work.
It's extremely important for the success of modern companies to take care of the wellbeing of their employees, it is seen as a long term investment that totally pays off. Having to let go of staff because of health issues or even lack of enthusiasm is a major loss and big cost to any business. And long is gone the times when companies wasted their money in corporate holidays with no concrete value or return to their business.
THIS IS AN INVESTMENT ON YOUR BUSINESS. This retreat experience will provide much more than connection and fun in between staff. We will bring forward different topics that can help your employees to build emotional balance, conflict resolving and communication skills to better perform at their work and personal life!
In addition to our daily Yoga practice and Meditation we will have workshops on specific topics that can be useful at work. Every practice and workshop is carefully thought of with a higher purpose to help your staff in real life scenarios. We use Neurolinguistics Programming (NLP) techniques and hands on exercises in our group dynamics to achieve those results. Read more about NLP here.
But it's not just about hard work, we will also have plenty of time to have fun as well. We can organise group activities to your liking such as surf lessons, nature walks, horseback riding, stand up paddling, wine tasting, bouldering and more!
We provide full board during the retreat, we select only professional chefs to serve you a mind blowing gastronomical experience!
Everything is homemade and locally sourced whenever possible, so you can have a true local experience. A varied lunch spread of quiches, salads, grilled veggies and local breads; or delicious dinners with flavours from all around the world. We take great pride in exceeding the expectations of guests over and over again!
