Bodhi Elevate - Ayurvedic Yoga Retreat
Restore and Balance Your Life Force Energy on a Mind, Body & Soul Level
“Every cell in our body has the capacity to hold infinity. Let us tap the full potential that nature has bestowed on us, the potential to hold infinity in every cell of the body. For that, we must practice meditation regularly. Then our physiology undergoes a change and every cell in the body is filled with prana – life force. As the level of prana in the body rises, we bubble with joy.” ~ Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Join us for a 3 Day Ayurvedic Yoga Retreat within the exquisite nature of Bodhi Khaya, with a focus on elevating our natural life force energy, also known as Prana, on a mind, body and soul level. Be guided by certified Ayurvedic Practitioner and Yoga Teacher, Taleszia Raubenheimer and Holistic Wellness Coach, Conscious Breathwork Facilitator and Yoga Teacher, Olivia Moon on a journey to reigniting and rebalancing your whole body and being. In Sanskrit, the word Prana means both ‘Breath’ and ‘Life Force Energy’. Through a series of Ayurvedic and Yogic Practices, a variety of Breathwork and Kundalini Kriyas, a sharing of practical everyday tools that you can use to elevate your life force in your own life, and so much more, this retreat is a space to shed and release the things that drain your energy, while restoring your natural flow of Prana, in order to have a powerful and lasting impact on your life.

Let GO Full Moon Half Day Retreat
Breathe. Shift. Align.
Join Holistic Alignment Coach, Breathwork Facilitator and Yoga Teacher, Olivia Moon for a soul-nourishing half day retreat at The Sanctuary in Constantia on Saturday 24 February. Be guided on a journey through embodiment-based practices that have been designed to cultivate a shifting, releasing and letting go of stuck energy, patterns and unprocessed emotions, supported by the Full Moon. My intention for this retreat is to guide you through a series of powerful take-home tools and practices that will help you to shift your state, align with your most authentic self and show up in the world more whole, happy and embodied.
We will begin the day with an intention setting opening circle, before moving into an energy-shifting yoga flow. We will then ground our energy and knowledge through an understanding of the nervous system, as well as be guided through powerful somatic practices you can use to regulate your nervous system on a daily basis. We’ll then take some time to pause, reflect and journal, while enjoying the exquisite natural surrounds at the Sanctuary. You will then be taken on a Conscious Breathwork Journey, Guided Visualisation and Releasing Practice, followed by a healing Sound Bath to fully align to your new vibration and integrate the insights of the day. We will end with Olivia’s famous Moonmilk to soothe and nourish, as well as a sharing circle.
Full Moons are a time when we release and let go of all that doesn’t serve, in order to create space for all we are calling in. Through shedding the layers that block our authentic light from shining and taking the lead, we allow in the guidance needed to continuously evolve into our highest and fullest expression. The unconditioned self that we already are.
The Day will Include:
‘Ground into Your Authenticity’ Nervous System Regulation Workshop
Conscious Breathwork Journey, Guided Visualisation & Sound Bath
Energy-shifting Yoga Flow
Take-home Tools and Practices to Integrate into your Life
Time to rest and reflect within nature
Opportunity to connect with like-hearted humans
Light Post-Yoga Snack and Smoothie
Grounding Moonmilk to end the Day

This intimate gathering, held by Maree Love and Olivia Moon, is a safe space to explore your depths through guided ritual, workshops and practices designed to soften your layers of ‘protection’ and open to the guidance of your own heart.
Over the 3 days you will reconnect with your divine feminine essence and witness your unfolding, like the petals of the ever-unfolding rose, as we release what no longer serves us in order to make space to bloom as our highest, most authentic self.
Learn to let go of self sabotage and step into a space of unconditional self love by breaking the patterns that limit us from fully loving and accepting ourselves.
Through guided embodiment and self care practices, conscious breathwork, yoga, sound healing, cacao ceremony, workshops, integration tools, women’s circles, delicious food, solo reflection time, nature walks and the support of sisterhood to bring you back home to who you really are.
10 Day New Year Kickstart Alignment Challenge
Are you ready to start 2024 as your most Aligned version of self? Join my 10 Day New Year Kick Start Alignment Challenge! This challenge is designed to cultivate a foundation of positive daily practices in order for you to build your dream life in 2024.
Learn how to overcome self-sabotage for good so that you can break the cycle of bad habits and step into your best self in the new year and beyond.
This challenge is based on the 5 tools and practices that, when done consistently, have been shown to bring us into a space of alignment, regulate our nervous system and raise our vibration.
These are:
Breathwork
Meditation
Movement
Journalling
Time in Nature
The New Year Alignment Challenge offers you a container to be held accountable for showing up for yourself on a daily basis, cultivating more balance and wholeness in all areas of your life.
Experience proven coaching techniques, powerful habit-building strategies, nervous system regulation tools, conscious breathwork journeys and mindfulness practices with a framework of simple daily activities that will bring you into a space of alignment with your happiest, healthiest self.
Establishing a daily self care practice creates a powerful foundation for growth. It allows us to shift, grow, transform and live the life that is meant for us. The problem is that many of us struggle to stick with it, and even with the best intentions, self care tends to fall to the bottom of the priority list. Information, support and accountability are what can make the difference between consistency and self-sabotage, and this is why I created this challenge.
How the Challenge Works
Over the 10 days, we will meet each morning at 06:00am SAST via Zoom for a 40 minute practice that will consist of yoga Breathwork and meditation. In addition to that, I will share a set of journal prompts that have been shown to be a powerful tool for manifestation, and you will be accountable to spend your time in nature. If you would like to do your own practices and join the challenge just for the calls and accountability, you are more than welcome!

“Health is a state of complete harmony of the body, mind and spirit. When one is free from physical disabilities and mental distractions, the gates of the soul open.”― B.K.S. Iyengar

Bodhi Exhale - Breathwork Retreat
Let Breath Be Your Medicine
Experience the transformational power of the breath at this 3 day Conscious Breathwork Retreat at Bodhi Khaya guided by Nathan Maingard and Olivia Moon.
The breath is so much more than just oxygen. It is our life force energy that has the power to shift, unblock and heal on a mind, body and soul level by regulating the nervous system and bringing us back into alignment. This retreat is an opportunity to reconnect to your inner truth by uncovering and dissolving the layers of conditioning, using the breath as your medicine to bring us back into the beauty of oneness versus the illusion of separateness.
Conscious Breathwork is a breathing technique that induces an altered state of consciousness, activating the bodies’ inner healing intelligence, expanding awareness and relieving physical tension and stress in the body, as well as clearing past trauma and releasing unprocessed emotions.
Breathwork cleanses the body, is powerfully insightful, unblocks stuck energy and rebalances your being on all levels, creating positive shifts that you will carry with you well beyond the weekend.
Join in for a schedule of soulful practices in order for you to explore your body, mind and breath and connect more deeply with your true nature.
