🤍 10 days to go | Mother & Teen Daughter Retreat

In the busyness of teenage life, time together can so easily become rushed, practical, or squeezed between everything else.

This day is an invitation to slow down and simply be together.

A space to reconnect without distractions or expectations, and without needing to be anywhere else.

A day where conversation unfolds naturally, laughter comes easily, and connection can be felt again in a deeper way.

A chance to see each other not only as “mum” and “teenager,” but as two people sharing presence, attention, and time.

🌿 Gentle yoga; a shared experience, no experience needed
🎨 Water colour play; side by side, creating and exploring
🥗 Nourishing food; shared meals without rushing
🛁 Bathsalt creation; a beautiful self care ritual to take home
🌳 Time in nature; space to walk, talk, or simply be
💛 Conversation, laughter & connection; in whatever way feels natural

We already have some beautiful mother and daughter pairs joining us, and there is space for a couple more to join this small, intimate group.

📅 Sunday 30th August
📍 Neranwood, Gold Coast
💛 $390 per pair (includes mother & daughter)

If this feels like something you’ve been wanting to do with your daughter but aren’t quite sure, feel free to reach out with any questions, no pressure.

And if someone comes to mind who might love this experience with their daughter, sharing it would be so appreciated. 🌻

When was the last time you spent an entire day with your daughter where there was nowhere else you needed to be?
Just time to be together.

I’ve created this retreat as an opportunity for mums and their teenage daughters to step away from the busyness of everyday life and reconnect through creativity, movement, conversation, good food and nature.

You’ll make your own bath salts to take home, explore watercolour through a relaxed and playful creative session, enjoying nourishing food, spend time in nature and experience some gentle yoga and stillness.

You don’t need to be creative. You don’t need to be flexible. You don’t need to be “good” at anything. Just come exactly as you are and enjoy a day together.

Because sometimes the simplest gift we can give our daughters, is our time and our full attention.

🌿Sunday, 30th August
🌿 10 am to 4 pm
🌿Gold Coast hinterland (15 minutes from Robina town Centre)
🌿$390 for mother and daughter.

I have a few places still available.
Send me a DM. I’d love to have you.

I sometimes wonder whether we have made yoga far more complicated than it needs to be.

We’ve come to associate yoga with flexibility, complicated poses, beautiful bodies and impressive shapes.

But that is only one very small part of yoga.

For me, yoga is a practice of coming into relationship with yourself.

It’s learning to listen to your body rather than constantly asking it to do more.

It’s using your breath to create calm, clarity, energy or focus.

It’s noticing the tension you’re holding.

It’s becoming aware of your patterns and reactions.

It’s learning to sit with discomfort, both physical and emotional, without immediately needing to change it.

And slowly, through that awareness creating a little more space between what happens and how you respond.

Yoga has taught me that I don’t always have to react. I can pause. I can breathe. I can notice.

Yoga has also taught me about stillness. To sit in meditation or lie in savasana. To gently withdraw from the constant stimulation and noise around me. We don’t always need to add more. Sometimes we need less. There is power in stillness.

Perhaps one of the greatest gifts of yoga is learning to meet yourself with compassion. Not the version of yourself you think you should be. The version of yourself who is here today.

And sit with gratitude for the breath, the body that carries us, the ability to move, the quiet moments, the people and animals in our lives. For all the simple things that are already here. A reminder of the abundance in an ordinary day.

That is the yoga I love.

The kind that extends far beyond the mat and begins to change the way we move through our entire lives.

I’d love to know what yoga means to you? 🌻

Mother-Daughter Retreat | integratedsports 06/08/2026

I’ve been overwhelmed by the lovely messages and encouragement since announcing my very first Mother & Teen Daughter Retreat.

This retreat was inspired by my own teenage daughters and the reminder of how quickly these teenage years pass. The conversations I have with other Mums we are all wanting time to slow down… So the idea for this retreat day was born.

If you’ve been considering coming, I’d absolutely love to have you and your daughter there.

🌿 Gentle yoga (no experience needed)
🎨 Creative watercolour session
🥗 Nourishing food
🌳 Time in nature
🤍 Space to connect and create lasting memories together

💛 Early bird pricing finishes this Friday.

If you know a mum and teenage daughter who would love a day like this, I’d be so grateful if you shared this with them.

All the details are here:

The teenage years don’t last forever.

Between school, sport, work, friends and busy family life, uninterrupted time together can become surprisingly rare.

I, just like many Mums I speak to are very aware of this but not sure how to make time slow down. So this retreat is an opportunity do just that…..
Creating space to laugh, talk, move, rest and simply enjoy being together.

I’d love to welcome a beautiful group of mums and daughters for a day they’ll remember long after it’s over.

If you’ve been thinking about it, this is your gentle reminder. I’d love to hear from you. Skye 🌻

A brand new Day Retreat for Mothers & Teen Daughters 🌻

I’m so excited to finally share something that has been on my heart for a long time.

As a yoga teacher and retreat facilitator, I’ve had the privilege of creating beautiful wellness retreats for women over the past few years. One thing I keep coming back to is how quickly life moves, especially during the teenage years.

Between school, sport, work, friends and screens, quality time together can be hard to find.

That’s why I’ve created a Mother & Teen Daughter Retreat—a day to step away from the busyness of everyday life and reconnect.

Together you’ll enjoy:
🤍 Gentle yoga (no experience needed)
🤍 A creative workshop
🤍 Nourishing seasonal meals and refreshments
🤍 Time in nature
🤍 Meaningful conversations
🤍 Rest, laughter and connection

Whether your daughter is 13 - 17, this day is about creating memories together and strengthening your connection in a relaxed, welcoming environment.

Date: Sunday 30th August, 2026
Location: Gold Coast Hinterland (15mins from Robina Town Centre)
Time: 10am - 4pm

💛 Early Bird $340 (per pair) until Friday 7th August
💛 Full price $390 (per pair) thereafter.

✨ There are only a small number of mother–daughter pairs available for this retreat, and once it’s full, I won’t be able to add extra spaces.

If this is something you’ve been thinking about, I really encourage you to book early to avoid missing out:

Or just send me a DM.

And if someone comes to mind while reading this (a mum and daughter who could really benefit from a day like this) I would be so grateful if you shared this post with them. These kinds of experiences often reach the right people through word of mouth, and your share could be exactly what helps another family find this opportunity. 🤍

I’ve been thinking a lot about how quickly the seasons of motherhood change. One of my daughters recently turned 15 and the other is fast approaching teenage years!

One moment they’re reaching for your hand to cross the road, and before you know it they’re becoming wonderfully independent, full of opinions and creating lives of their own.

The teenage years are such a unique season. They can be full of growth, change, laughter, challenges and so many beautiful conversations… if we can find the time and space to have them.

That was the main inspiration behind creating this Mother & Teen Daughter Retreat.

Not because I think mums and daughters need fixing.
But because I believe relationships flourish when we intentionally make time for them.

A day away from the busyness of everyday life.
A chance to move, create, laugh, rest and simply enjoy being together.

If this retreat reminds you of someone—a friend, a sister, a colleague or another mum who would love a day like this—I would be so grateful if you shared it with them.

Or if you and your daughter would like to come along, send me a DM or there is a link in the bio to reserve your place.

I’d love to welcome you. Skye 🌻

There are only so many years when our daughters still want to spend a whole day with us.

Life becomes busy. School, sport, work, friends and phones begin to fill the spaces where connection once came so easily.

This retreat was born from a simple idea…

✨ To create space.

Space to laugh together.
Space to move together.
Space to create.
Space to have conversations that don’t happen in the rush of everyday life.
Space to simply enjoy being together.

I’m so excited to be introducing my very first Mother & Teen Daughter Retreat—a day designed to nurture connection, create beautiful memories, and celebrate this unique season of life.

If this speaks to your heart, I’d love to welcome you both.

Or if someone came to mind while reading this, I’d love you to share this post with them.

🤍 Bookings are now open via the link in my bio.
Or simply send me a DM.

P.S. If your daughters are all grown up (or this season isn’t yours right now), don’t worry… my much-loved Women’s Spring Retreat is returning on Sunday 25 October, and I’ll be sharing all the details very soon. 🌻

One of my favourite parts after each retreat is reading the reflections that guests take the time to share.

Their words give me such a beautiful insight into how they experienced the day, what resonated most, and what they’ll carry with them long after the retreat has ended.

Creating these retreats is about so much more than yoga. It’s about creating a space where women can slow down, breathe deeply, feel supported, reconnect with themselves and leave feeling nourished in every sense.

If you’ve been following along and wondering what these retreats are like, I hope these little glimpses have given you a sense of the warmth, connection and care that fills each one.

I’m already dreaming up the next retreats and can’t wait to share them with you soon. 🤍
