Yesterday a group of 9 from Waihi and Waihi Beach visited Ohui Yoga Retreat at Opoutere. We started out at 7am. What a wonderful day. The drive along Opoutere's estuary and through the native bush to get to the retreat was beautiful in itself. When we got there we enjoyed a cup of herbal tea and I felt relaxed at once.It was lovely to see Atma and her darling boy Lazlo who has an enchanted life at the ashram. Shantimurti led a 2 hour yoga session for us and I felt in the zone right through. A delicious lunch and then yoga nidra. During the 2 hour break following some went for a walk, some swam in the warm surf, some slept, some read and others just chatted. The next session was yoga nada - all about using sound to purify one's emotions and mind. Another tasty vegetarian meal and then goodbyes and we were home by 8pm. If anyone thinks they need time out from their hectic life I can recommend a fantastic day, place and people.
