I attended the Women's Embodiment Retreat at Hepburn Springs. It was a beautiful peaceful setting. Mayre has a warm, generous, nurturing and healing spirit, as does her team that assist her, and makes the whole weekend flow effortlessly. A beautiful balance of yoga, meditation, life lesson wisdom and different workshops to try eg drumming and shigong, hammam experience, massages on offer, hot tub and cold plunge, a firepit circle at night, delicious food. This is a soul nourishing retreat, no pressure, welcoming, with other like minded women sharing a weekend together, looking for sustenance to continue with our busy lives. A weekend of self care. All I had to do was show up. Mayre took care of the rest. Highly recommended.

Mind and body
What happens
Formatted like a public class, with pranayama breathing, asanas and deep relaxation including yoga nidra, but with one to one attention.
You can ask questions as you go, and the practice is modified for your own needs. Private tuition is with our founder, Marye.
Marye will lead you through a gentle Hatha Yoga sequence, with attention to your individual needs, followed by a yoga nidra, which is a deeply restorative guided meditation.
Hatha is the branch of yoga that works through the body. The word means force, its texts go back to the 11th century, and a modern hatha class is asana, the postures; pranayama, the breathing; and a lying down relaxation at the end. Yoga nidra is that relaxation taken further: a guided practice set out by Swami Satyananda in the 1960s and 70s, done lying still in shavasana, that moves attention around the body and to the breath while you stay awake and listening.
It's made for someone who can't do the pose the class is doing and wants to know what to do instead, and for a body that wants to move gently before it rests.

My husband Gary & I went to Maiaveda for a Panchakarma, an Ayurvedic cleanse. We had treatments that would help our bodies prepare for a very deep cleanse. It was an amazingly powerful and empowering life changing experience spiritually, emotionally physically and mentally. We were welcomed with a lot of warmth & reassurance. Each visit was filled a lot of genuine love, support and compassion. Nothing was ever too much trouble, you had Marye’s & her team 100% focus & attention. The treatment rooms were truely unique filled with loving calm energy. Both my husband & I could not recommend it more highly. A place well worth a visit.

Read on GoogleMarye has created a true sanctuary. From the moment I stepped through the doors, I felt completely enveloped in a sense of peace. Marye radiates a genuine, warm and nurturing energy that is incredibly rare to find. She took the time to listen to exactly what my body and mind needed, tailoring the experience with such profound care and kindness. During the treatment, I felt completely safe to let go and deeply rest. If you are looking for a place to heal, unwind, and feel genuinely nurtured from head to toe, this is it. I cannot wait to return.

Read on GoogleI had a beautiful, soulful retreat with Marye and the team. The massages and treatments were the best I have ever had and my skin is amazing after the two facials! Great yoga and wellbeing resources too. Highly recommend!
Read on GoogleI almost have no words for how incredibly grateful I feel for booking this private retreat experience with Maiveda. From the moment I arrived, I felt seen, cared for and completely safe to be nurtured. In fact, I haven't even gone home yet but wanted to write this in the bubble of this incredible experience. Every treatment I had was exquisite, and was done with such love and intention. I am going home tomorrow feeling inspired, loved, and ready to take responsibility for how I am showing up each day - with credits in the energy tank. Thank you Marye, Pam, Patricia and Inta. You are all exceptional at what you do.
Read on GoogleA 3 day self initiated self care "intervention " at Maiaveda Holistic Health Retreat and Spa was one of the best decisions I have made in recent times! With utter professionalism and attention to care, Marye tailored my experience to encompass physical care and clarity of thought. The treatments provided by Maggie, Pam were so powerful yet performed with the ultimate caring touch, that you had no other choice but to go to a space where all thoughts and experiences were welcomed, noticed and calmly processed. Marye's vast international and corporate experiences are validated by providing the platform for you to come to obvious conclusions. A final yoga experience with Patricia is also not to be missed! The local food was excellent and adaptive to those of us with a few culinary challenges I leave in a much better space, with tools for work on's but miss my new friends in Kyneton already! You need to experience this, your body, mind and soul will be eternally grateful.
Read on GoogleMarye is a beautiful intuitive woman who genuinely cares about healing and balancing mind, body and spirit. I spent 2 days at Maiaveda retreat receiving individualised treatments including yoga, massage, reflexology, facials - that together transcended any previous body work experience. It was bliss. It was also opening to insights that shifted my understanding of relationships. Highly recommended. 💕
