SOLD OUT Spirits Soar at Sky High / Medium walks / 2 nights

Spoil yourself this Anzac long weekend whilst staying at the luxurious Sky High house. An ideal place to rejuvenate and take some time out.  Sky High is located on top of a ridge of 50 acres, below Mt Franklin, with dramatic views of the surrounding hills, farmland and bushland. Mt Franklin is a well known landmark known widely for it’s mineral water as well as its vicinity to Daylesford, which was recently voted the most popular small town weekend destination in Australia.  

Rediscover your sense of self whilst practicing gentle yoga and immersing yourself in nature. On the Yogabout weekend you will drift off to a restful sleep after a day of bushwalking, eating nutritious food, practicing the ancient wisdom tradition of yoga, seeing a breathtaking sunset and listening to relaxing live piano. 

The three guided walks take you around Mt Franklin, along sections of the Goldfields Track, amongst the tall trees of Hepburn Regional Park and provide the opportunity to walk and talk with other like-minded people.  Refresh yourself after your walk in the 2m plunge pool at Sky High. 

Points of interest include the Hepburn mineral springs, Mt Franklin, a delictable chocolate mill, and a vist to an authentic yoga ashram. 

You will learn stress relief techniques from the ancient wisdom tradition of  Yoga. The yoga postures are suited to all body types, experience levels (total beginner to advanced) and ages.  The postures practiced are gentle and help you release stress from the body and the mind.

Yoga Nidra, an amazing deep relaxation technique, along with different types of meditation are also practiced. The combination of all activities offered over the weekend with the clear, easy to understand directions and Annie’s friendly, calming persona will help you to slow down, reconnect, and find your place of inner peace, balance and stillness.

Your meals will be prepared by a local chef committed to the Slow Food philosophy and supporting local farming and communities. The very best quality local produce will be used to create meals you will remember for all the right reasons. Sharing your food with an intimate small group of less than 8 people will enable you to form close relationships with other like minded people.

Sky High has 4 huge bedrooms, each with European Oak and floor to ceiling windows and three equisite bathrooms. The breathtaking views will have you staying in bed gazing into the distance to contemplate a bigger vision for your life. You can book a room to share with a friend or Yogabout can match you with another single of the same sex.

All meals and accommodation are included in the cost.

The weekend is designed with plenty of opportunities to rest and to soak up the glorious views and ambience  that Sky High offers.
