NEW ZEALAND'S INTERNATIONAL YOGA FESTIVAL 2018
Event Information
Description
Join us for New Zealand's 7th International Yoga Festival!
Following the success of our previous festivals, and due to popular demand, we're so excited to announce that we've extended the celebrations and added an extra day, meaning we now have four days of fun filled workshops, activities, talks and yoga classes for you to get involved with.
Our theme and focus for 2018 is 'Embracing Your Inner Mastery' and we aim to stay true to the authenticity and integrity of each and every aspect of Yoga and the every growing space of spirituality surrounding it. To achieve this, we're giving the festival more time and space for a deeper immersion of practices and transformations and are thrilled to have international presenters and guests joining us to help make the event even more engaging, traditional and inspiring. We currently have over 70 presenters confirmed, coming from 12 different countries!
Over the four days, you will have access to 100+ entertaining, inspiring, moving and thought-provoking workshops and activities as well as a range of yoga classes covering every style from mindful meditations through to SUP Yoga and Aerial Yoga sessions.
Once again we're proud to be hosting the festival at Kawai Purapura, only 20 minutes from the centre of Auckland, yet located in the heart of 19-acres of beautiful, tranquil native bush land where you will be able to fully switch off from city living and immerse yourself in everything on offer.

Organiser Kawai Purapura
Organiser of NEW ZEALAND'S INTERNATIONAL YOGA FESTIVAL 2018
Kawai Purapura Retreat Centre has grown steadily over the past five years, becoming one of New Zealand’s most popular destinations for retreats, conferences and seminars in natural health, environmental awareness and personal development.
Our name:
Kawai Purapura’s name signifies the nexus point between the past and the future. Kawai is the memory, ancestry, and tracing of the lineage from the past. Purapura is the seed of the future.
Our Vision:
Our vision is to create a healing space wherein people can find their own potential for being well. This vision will develop into focused healing programmes that not only serve those who lack privilege, but contribute to natural health taking a significant place in overall health care delivery.
The Retreat:
The call to retreat is the call to spirit, authenticity, and joy. It is the call to step away from the many forms of busyness in our everyday lives, to find sanctuary, time for deep reflection and to nourish the body, mind and spirit. It is the call to be in community with others who are also on a path of self-discovery. Every moment spent in meditation, yoga, and sacred community are moments that bring insight and clarity to our lives. Retreats infuse your being with inspiration on the path, which makes anything seem possible.
At Kawai Purapura we have designed a range of yoga retreats from healing and rejuvenation, to deep transformation. We bring together outstanding mentors, guides, way-showers and inspirational facilitators from around the world.
Our Philosophy:
The underlying philosophy that guides development of our retreat centre is one of harmonious living with the land. We believe the omniscient consciousness is to be found within the human heart where all is synthesised into oneness. We aim to manifest ideals of natural health and healing, spirituality, sustainable lifestyle and social responsibility.
Residental community:
At Kawai Purapura we have a residential community that offers the opportunity to live and work in harmony with each other and the environment. The residents contribute greatly to the overall vision for the land.
Workshop venues:
We offer 5 different workshop spaces varying in size, character and charm. The spaces provide an ideal environment for retreat participants to pursue self-exploration, growth and re-discover personal peace and wellbeing. Our smallest space seats 1-30 (Prema Lounge) and our largest up to 150. In the warmer summer months we also have 2 additional outdoor tents to hire.
Free WiFi is available to retreat participants with laptops in designated areas (our WiFi covers most of the indoor areas in Kawai Purapura retreat centre).
