Namaste,
Kia ora, Welcome
Hi, my name’s Danielle Anson.
I’m your retreat host, yoga teacher, meditation guide, and breathwork facilitator - based in Wānaka, in the heart of New Zealand's South Island, where the mountains and lake have been home for over ten years.
My Story
It started with walking out of my first yoga class as a teenager. This feeling of lightness washed over me - a quiet peace I hadn't known was missing. Nearly 20 years later, that feeling is still what drives everything.
In the years between, the path has taken some turns - travelling the world, moving to the other side of it, starting a business, closing a business, and experiencing burnout along the way. Yoga brought me back every time. It taught me how to slow down, come back to the body, and learn to stop pushing quite so hard.
Now, seven years into teaching, and with a background as a certified spiritual life coach, all of that lived experience gets woven into retreat experiences for women who are ready to learn how to do the same. Women's wellness retreats in the raw beauty of Central Otago, just an hour from Queenstown - held through yoga, breathwork, meditation, ceremony, and the kind of honest conversation that only happens when women gather in circle.
If you're burnt out, running on empty, and quietly craving something more - you're in exactly the right place.
