Suzie Donkers runs the retreats and has been a trained yoga teacher for 20 years, beginning her own practice in her twenties. She is also a qualified Pilates and Tai Chi instructor and with this she combines her love of movement into practical exercise therapy.

Trained in horticulture  and specialising in Australian plants and their ecosystems allows her to share her love of the natural world. Also, as a permaculture teacher with a passion for growing food, she is able to provide plenty of home-grown organic produce for her cooking.
