Best health and wellness retreats in Australia

By Bio Island Nutrition Team

What is a health and wellness retreat? Why would you need or want one?

A health and wellness retreat often focuses on cleansing your body and mind, bringing you to a peaceful state and promoting clean eating. The whole idea is to help calm your body from the crazy 9 to 5 routine and soothe your thoughts and environment.  There are many different options of retreats that focus on rejuvenating, cleansing detox, rebalancing with yoga or just an escape. You will be guided through with a wellness professional who may put together some programs for your needs or some group activities.

Key things to decide what retreat is best for you:

• Does the environment suit your needs?
• The programs and structure
• Food and cuisine options
• What traditions or remedies does the retreat follow?
• What can you learn or gain from going to this retreat?
