Active Rest Retreats aims to help women embody wellness and self-healing tools, making them accessible for everyday life. Bringing together the wellness modalities of yoga and outdoor adventure, Active Rest prioritises connecting guests to self, nature, culture, and community. Co-founders Sarah and Elise combine their expertise in yoga, breathwork, and slow living, along with beginner-friendly bushwalking, paddle boarding and kayaking, for the shared mission of teaching others how to actively rest, and be more restfully active.
Sarah is a scientist-turned-yoga teacher who is passionate about inspiring and empowering others to live a life more rested, more sacred and more awake. Trained in vinyasa flow and pranayama (yogic breathwork), and with Ecology and Psychology degrees up her sleeve, Sarah provides an accessible-to-every-day-life and no-fluff approach to the worlds of yoga and spirituality.
Elise is an outdoor guide with a passion for inspiring, lowering barriers, and creating opportunities for women to get outdoors for their body, mind, soul and planet. She is a qualified kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, and bushwalking guide with a background in health science, education and eco-tourism. Elise loves using outdoor activities to connect women back to themselves, to one-another, and to nature.
