GOOD FRIDAY WEEKEND RESET
3-5 April 2026 (Fri-Sun)
While it is exciting to visit far-flung, exotic places while retreating, a quick reset that does not require too much logistic juggling can work wonders too in uplifting our spirits. It is with quiet anticipation that I am inviting you to join me in Bintan for this short and sweet Yoga holiday over the Good Friday weekend. The resort I have selected sports lush, spacious grounds set away from all the tourist hustle and bustle, but with wonderful amenities including a gorgeous pool, a sandbank and a lovely spa.
Our time together begins on Friday with a long evening practice, followed by a welcome dinner. Saturday is bookmarked with morning and evening practice – the former more energising and dynamic, and the latter more laidback and restorative, and we wrap up our short and sweet weekend with Sunday morning Yoga and post-practice brunch.
If you're up for it, I enthusiastically recommend a light digital detox – keeping your mobile on airplane mode from bedtime until after breakfast the next morning, and from evening practice until after dinner. (You're welcome to switch it off the entire time too, of course!) This is a good way to wean off any unhealthy relationships we have with our devices, while staying contactable and wired in on our own terms, accentuated by a change of environment and the company of friends old and new.
