A yoga and wellbeing retreat sanctuary
in the heart of the Kauaeranga Valley

Welcome to RiverSong

Nestled in the heart of the Kauaeranga Valley, RiverSong Retreat is a peaceful place to land. With no artificial light or urban noise, soothed by the sound of the river below, surrounded by mountains, it doesn’t take long to notice a shift in how you feel.

Through slow mindful yoga, nourishing food, rest and time in nature, we offer space to pause, restore and come home to yourself.
