Exceptional Wellness Experiences in the Kenyan Wilderness
Championing immersive experiences in the heart of Kenya’s wild spaces is Wildlife & Yoga Retreats from Laura Bunting
Amidst breathtaking landscapes and flourishing wildlife, from luxury tented camps in the highlands, the white sands of Manda Bay and untouched landscapes of Tsavo, each exceptional retreat takes place in a world of unmatched privacy and serenity for a safari experience like no other.
Yoga, Movement, Meditation & Massage
Wildlife & Yoga Retreats invite guests for two daily yoga sessions that progress in practice as bodies gain flexibility and strength. With each morning dedicated to yang aspect of yoga, flowing through Vinyasa sequences, as evening draws in, Laura leads a relaxing hour of yin and meditation to release tension, enhance joint health and unwind after a day exploring the African bush. Sessions are tailored from beginners to experienced yogis and include a variety of adjustments to help advance in asana practices.
Yoga is just one part that guests of Wildlife & Yoga Retreats enjoy. In addition to exhilarating day and night game drives, Laura offers various ways to actively immerse her guests in the wilderness. From horse-riding expeditions, retreats also incorporate guided bush walks, picturesque cycling excursions, and hiking experiences. With a dedicated masseuse available for bookings whenever guests may want some extra TLC, massages also play a vital role in each retreat. This ensures each guest feels centred within themselves and the stunning surroundings.
Retreat founder and leader Laura Bunting comments, “Each day our retreat offers a harmonious blend of adventure and relaxation. Kenya is a special place where you can absorb the natural world’s splendour and reinvigorate the human soul. Our retreats are a unique seamless blend of wellness and wilderness. No need to be an avid yogi to get the full benefits; we welcome everyone to come as they are for an unforgettable adventure.
“No longer confined to the stereotype of poolside lounging, stressful itinerary planning and excess consumption of food and alcohol, people now seek a more holistic, immersive approach to travel. There’s an increased desire to return home rejuvenated, steering away from exhaustion and hangovers. On our retreats, we have hosted individuals from all walks of life—families, couples, and solo travellers—either in group retreats or for private wellness-infused safaris. All guests are looking to travel with a seamless blend of nutritious meals, wellness and yoga integrated into their travel itineraries.
Mindfully crafted, our transformative retreat formula comprises essential elements designed to elevate the mind, body, and spirit seamlessly:
Daily Movement: Starting each day with gentle yet energising movement through vinyasa yoga.
Meditation: 30 minutes of guided meditation through Yoga Nidra invites serenity as we unwind into the early evening after a day of adventure.
Nutrient-rich Foods: Our retreat culinary experience nourishes our guests from within. No restrictions, just delicious, whole foods that are good for the body and soul.
Massage: Physical touch from a skilled and trained masseuse helps to alleviate tension accumulated from daily mental and physical stresses. Post massage, there is often a considerable release you didn’t realise you needed.
Nature: The subtle yet potent influence of the natural environment is a fundamental element of rejuvenation and often encourages guests to immerse themselves in nature when they return home.
Solitude and Personal Immersion: Whether you’re an introvert or an extrovert, alone time can benefit your mental well-being. A moment to recharge is a vital component of our retreats.
The transformative journey of these retreats is evident in the all-encompassing improvement in our guest’s wellbeing. Witnessing the gradual alleviation of stress as each day goes by is incredible. Then, reconnecting with guests after the retreat fills me with immense joy as I learn about their continued well-being and the positive transformations they have embraced from these experiences.”
