"A wonderful weekend retreat"
Anne Maree and Hussy were wonderful hosts. They made us feel very welcome. The yoga and meditation sessions were lovely and the location is excellent - with all Lorne has to offer just a short walk away.

"Feeling Zen"
The pace of the retreat was spot on - classes were well planned and flexible, the location, right near the beach, Erskine River, and town was perfect. The food was great. Anne Marie and Hussy were excellent hosts. Yoga philosophy class was a great addition to the program too.

My first yoga retreat. Ann-Marrie was the most beautiful, the most skilled, welcoming and warm host. Well organised weekend retreat covering many aspects of yoga, relaxed and catered for individual visitor. Food was amazing, cooked by hosts and enjoyed all together with lots of talks, laughs and shared wisdom. Thank you Ann-Marie for a beautiful experience.

"Wonderful first time Yoga Experience!"
A great experience which was almost like a 'one on one' yoga lesson - very personal but professional. Anne Maree and Hussein were very hospitable and welcomed us into their home.

Such caring, hospitable people. Very easy going and allowed our input all the way. Food was exciting, nutritious, delicious and very filling. Yoga was enjoyable, Anne Marie definitely read us well as to what we wanted to get from the experience. Many forms of meditation offered which was very interesting and valuable

Anne-Marie & Hussein were the most perfect hosts you could want. The retreat is in the most perfect setting, the food and atmosphere were ideal for chilling out and finding that "reset button". Anne-Marie adjusted the yoga classes perfectly for the various levels that were in the classes and the yoga philosophy and meditation classes the same.

"High quality yoga instruction in a beautiful relaxed setting"
Ann Marie is a very experienced yoga teacher who is warm, friendly and nurturing without being intrusive.
She offered a very well structured two days with free time to enjoy long beach walks, a stroll along a bush track, and time reading on our private balcony. Hussy's cooking was delicious and I slept very well after the evening relaxation session. A very enjoyable two days.

"Fantastic relaxing weekend!"
Ann Maree was absolutely amazing, the perfect host and yoga teacher! I gained a greater understanding of meditation and yoga. I was hesitant to come to the retreat on my own, but I'm so glad I stepped out of my comfort zone! The location was beautiful, loved meditating my the river and waking up for the sunrise!! Highly highly recommend!!

From start to finish we felt at ease and comfortable at this gorgeous yoga retreat. The beautiful home with large picture windows has views of the surrounding bushland and is within easy walking distance to the main street of Lorne. The yoga was taught in peaceful surroundings with the lounge room quickly converted to an idyllic yoga studio for classes. Anne Maree was such a calm and patient teacher. Her knowledge of yoga was clearly extensive and she has a wonderful ability to share her knowledge without forcing the information on you. She will patiently seek out how much (or how little) you want to learn and will work within those parameters. My husband and I personally wanted to absorb as much information as we could and Anne Maree was so generous with her teachings. The sunrise walk and guided nature meditation are not to be missed. Anne Maree and her husband are brilliant hosts. The Turkish food provided was delicious and plentiful. Mealtimes were an absolute highlight and were just like sitting around a table eating and drinking with old friends. You don't have to lift a finger and will feel incredibly spoilt! We left feeling inspired to continue with our yoga practice, as well as feeling relaxed, invigorated and ready to return to the busy working week ahead.

Mango Lassi’s yoga and cooking retreat was one of the most relaxing, welcoming and uplifting retreats we’ve been on. Anne-Maree is an excellent yoga teacher and was happy to tailor the yoga sessions around our specific interests. Her hatha/vinyasa style was ideal for what were after and her meditation sessions were wonderful - especially the one in a beautiful, secluded outdoor spot amongst the trees! Anne-Maree’s a real pleasure to spend time with and the pace of the retreat was spot on. The yoga, coupled with the delicious turkish cooking class was such a treat and we can’t wait to do it all over again! :)
