Yoga studio and private wellness retreats on Waiheke Island.

Every little detail is thoughtfully tailored to your intentions and planned to help you focus on the important stuff - your wellness.

Private. Bespoke. Balanced.

Our retreats celebrate authenticity. Our whole reason-to-be is about sharing a gentle, balanced, and optimistic break from the norm.

We thoughtfully and intentionally slow down and break the pattern by feeding the body and soul, so you get some sanctuary and leave feeling inspired and better than before. It’s an easy-going break to meet you where you are and regain your mojo.

Our Wellness Philosophy

Every once in a while, we need to reset so we can see the big picture.
Taking time out to ‘find your happy’ is a joyful and fun experience. Rather than pressuring people into impossible stereotypes, our approach celebrates authenticity. Our whole reason-to-be is about sharing a gentle, balanced, and optimistic break in your day-to-day.

    Koukoulee is my favourite wellness space for yoga, breathwork and wellness pampering on Waiheke Island. The transformative impact from practising there for over a year now on my body and mental wellness has been profound - the experienced teachers have really helped paying attention to the needs of my body.

    The ultimate pamper experience! I had the mindful facial + LED treatment and it has been absolutely great! Felt like being lost in space and time! Maya has been absolutely amazing and created a perfect experience! Thank you!

    “Thank you, thank you so very much for the lovely retreat you and Samantha created. It was a first for me in many ways, and I came back happy, accomplished and peaceful.

    Everything was just perfect. The yoga and meditations were very kind and good for the soul and body, even mine; the food was exceptionally delicious, and the company lots of fun. Talking to all the participants from different walks of life and generations was very enriching.”

    Koukoulee is a welcoming, relaxed space with offerings for all abilities. The teachers are wonderful guides who welcome regulars and newcomers equally and the view from the studio is second to none.

    "Thank you so much for organising our weekend. We have returned feeling rejuvenated and thought it was just the right mix of fun, yoga, healthy food, comfort, engagement and free time. Your yoga instructresses were awesome, Shantala's food was amazing and you and Theresa were the perfect hosts. We would definitely recommend this weekend getaway activity to others and hope to return ourselves in the not too distant future. "

    “Thank you so much for a fabulous weekend, everyone loved the setting, the yoga, the amazing food and then the time to catch up, we all came away feeling revived and ready for the Christmas crazy.

    We normally go up to Fiji but a couple of us commented that this last weekend was more relaxing and enjoyable than that. So thank you for making it all possible.”
