In Your Element Swim & Yoga Retreat
When: Wednesday 10– Sunday 14th March 2027

Are you ready for a soul reset surrounded by lush nature, daily ocean swims, yoga,
expert mindset coaching and space to enjoy stillness to set you up for the year and beyond?

You also know how easily the demands of life, the stress of uncertainty and constant change can pull you out of it.
The In Your Element Retreat is designed to reconnect you with your purpose and potential. Through somatic wisdom practices, ocean swimming, yoga, breathwork, mindset coaching, and time in nature, you'll reconnect with the elements that restore us, in one of the world's most extraordinary landscapes, with exceptional people. When we're in our element, we find our flow.

Earth: Coastal hiking and grounding somatic practice
Air: Yoga, breathwork, and guided meditation
Fire: Performance and mindset sessions with Jono to explore what you're capable of, and to meet challenge
Space: Guided reflection, meaningful conversation, exceptional food — and real space to simply pause and be.
