I am beyond excited to be heading to Kenya to host this epic Kindred Yoga retreat at the stunning Watamu Treehouse!
The yoga
Katarina Rayburn co-founder of Kindred Yoga
Kat will lead you through 2 x 90 minute yoga classes a day, sun rise Mandala Vinyasa in the morning and sunset Yin Yoga in the evening. Mandala vinyasa is a dynamic practice, allowing you to move around your mat with fluidity. Each day the practice will be focusing on a specific element, chakra and part of the body. By the end of the week we will have journeyed through all 4 elements leaving in a state of complete balance.
Yin yoga is a deep stretching, meditative and seated practice where poses are held for up to 5 minutes allowing your body to really open and let go. The Yin yoga will complement the subtle and physical body that we will be working on that day.
The yoga is open to all levels.
There will also be an optional daily guided morning meditation.
The food
Pre morning yoga snack
Each morning there will be fresh coffee, pots of herbal teas, fresh/dried fruit and nuts to snack on for an energy boost before your morning yoga practice.
Wholesome breakfast
Homemade granola, nut butters, compotes, jams, plant based milk, bircher muesli, fresh fruit platters, pancakes, fresh bread, savoury breakfast specials (cooked mushrooms, tomatoes, homemade baked beans)
Lunch - a selection of nourishing and seasonal salads, dips, breads.
*should you wish to go exploring a little further afield, lunch can be saved upon your return
Dinner - family-style feast
Post evening yin yoga, you will have time to freshen up before sitting down to a family-style gourmet dinner. We use local fresh ingredients and love to create a variety of delicious dishes with a twist, leaving you feeling satisfied and energised!

Testimonial from a Kindred Yoga retreat
‘The yoga retreat has been one of my all time favourite holidays. The quality of both the yoga and the food was excellent! I have improved my yoga practice, my flexibility, and increased my general wellbeing after the retreat. They put so much effort and love into every single yoga session and every single meal. You can tell they are truly passionate about what they do. Everything was very well organised and ran so smoothly; just as I was beginning to feel peckish after brunch, a freshly made juice and healthy snack appeared from the kitchen. The atmosphere was relaxed, positive and friendly - I feel like I've made 14 new friends."
