Hepburn Healing - Mineral Springs, 8km walk, Hamman Bliss

On this Yogabout Getaway you will: 

• Be guided on an 8km walk through the tall trees of Hepburn Regional Park and taste the healing mineral spring water at Soda, Locarno, Sulphur, Wyuna, Arglye and Golden mineral springs.  Please note the walk is along narrow forest tracks and includes some rocky downhill and steep uphill sections so a reasonable level of fitness is required.
• Completely relax with a Turkish Hamman in a marble steam room where you will be surrounded by aromatherapy infused steam and guided through the ancient ritual of body exfoliation. A soothing steam massage and clay face mask ensure your total relaxation. 
• Visit an authentic yoga ashram located in the heart of Wombat State Forest
• Practice yoga and meditation daily in a light spacious fully equipped yoga room
• Relax listening to the soothing tones of live piano being played each evening after dinner
• Learn how to integrate the practice of mindfulness into your daily life
• Enjoy meeting likeminded people and create new friendships amongst a small group of up to 12 people.
• Have your own room with an ensuite in a beautifully restored 1920’s guesthouse . You will have 24 hour access to the tea/coffee bar with organic tea products including fresh lemon and ginger and seasonal herbs from the garden.

The cost for this weekend is all inclusive with all meals, accommodation, the hamman steam bath, yoga classes, yoga nidra, visit to the Ashram guided bushwalks and live relaxing piano included.
