Yoga on the Farm - Mardella WA

A Day to Slow Down, Reset and Reconnect

This one-day retreat is an invitation to step out of the noise of everyday life and return to the body, the breath, and the grounding presence of nature.

A Threshold Moment

 The beginning of a new year holds power.

Not the kind that comes from setting goals or forcing change, the kind that emerges when the body is ready to release what no longer belongs and step forward with clarity.

Igniting the Path 

is a deeply grounded embodied experience designed to help you clear the residue of the past cycle and step into 2026 with presence, intention and embodied truth.

Through somatic yoga, trauma-informed breathwork, and the gentle wisdom of horses, you’ll be guided into a state of deeper presence and connection with yourself and with the land around you.

This is not a workshop.

It is not a performance.

It is a rite of passage into the year ahead.

This 1 day retreat is about creating the space for clarity to naturally arise.

The Energy of 2026 – The Fire Horse

2026 carries the energy of the Fire Horse — a force of momentum, truth, courage, and forward movement.

Fire Horse energy asks:

  • What are you ready to release?

  • Where are you being called to move forward with clarity?

  • What is no longer aligned with who you are becoming?

But fire must be grounded to be useful.

This retreat brings fire into the body, not the mind.

Through breath, movement, and connection with horses, we create a safe, embodied space to release the past and ignite what’s ready to emerge.

What This Day Offers

This retreat weaves together three powerful yet gentle modalities:

Gentle Somatic Yoga

Somatic Release Breathwork

Equine Therapy

Together, these practices create a powerful space for reset, reflection and renewal.

 

 

Gentle Somatic Yoga

 

A slow, intuitive practice designed to help you reconnect with your body, release held tension and cultivate awareness. This is not performance-based yoga it is grounding, accessible and deeply nourishing. 

A gentle, embodied yoga practice led by Sita, designed to:

  • Open areas of tension and resistance

  • Increase body awareness

  • Support emotional release

  • Prepare the nervous system for deeper work

 

This is not performance-based yoga. It is slow, intuitive, and deeply grounding.

 

 

Somatic Release Breathwork

A guided breathwork journey to support emotional release, nervous system regulation and inner clarity. You will be supported to move at your own pace in a safe and grounded way.

Facilitated by Neelam, this breathwork session guides you into a deeper state of awareness where stored patterns, emotions and subconscious holding can safely surface and release.

This session supports:

  • Emotional clearing

  • Nervous system regulation

  • Letting go of old identities and stories

  • Reconnecting with inner clarity and purpose

All breathwork is trauma-aware, choice-led and supported throughout.

Equine Therapy - Grounding with the Horses

Time spent in the presence of horses, whose calm and attuned nature supports regulation, grounding and emotional awareness. This experience often brings deep insight without words.

Horses are powerful mirrors of the nervous system. They respond to presence, authenticity, and coherence rather than words.

 During this session, you’ll have the opportunity to:

  • Experience the regulating energy of the herd

  • Feel into non-verbal communication and grounding

  • Integrate your inner work through connection with the land and animals

This is a deeply calming and often profound experience, especially after breathwork.

Who this day is for 

This retreat is for you if you:

  • Feel ready to release the weight of the past year, to consciously close a chapter
  • Want to begin 2026 with clarity and grounded intention
  • Are drawn to embodied, nervous-system–aware practices
  • Enjoy nature-based and somatic experiences
  • Want a deeper connection to yourself without pressure or overwhelm

  • This retreat is for those who:

 No previous experience with yoga, breathwork, or horses is required.

The Journey of the Day
