Corporate Retreats
Invest in your team’s wellness & reap the benefits
Staff wellbeing is finally being rightfully considered an integral part of workplace culture. “Employers who care for employee health and wellbeing see numerous measurable benefits, from higher productivity and profitability to lower turnover and fewer safety incidents” (Gallup 2023).
Additionally, research in organisational psychology consistently demonstrates the positive impact of effective team building on productivity and employee satisfaction.
At Active Rest Retreats, we believe that investing in team wellbeing and team building is not just a “soft-skill” enhancement, but a strategic and vital part of leading teams for achieving optimal workplace performance.
Bringing together the wellness modalities of yoga and outdoor adventure, Active Rest Retreats prioritises connecting people to nature, culture, self and each other; building teams, communities, and self-awareness for sustained change.

You MUST join Elise on an outdoor adventure ASAP! She is a highly organised, caring and passionate person who clearly works hard (and loves) to immerse those she guides fully into the experience. Elise creates connections between people, culture and nature. She does this all with humour, warmth, inclusivity and obvious skill!

Elise provides a wonderful safe place for you to immerse yourself in nature and connect with like minded individuals, breathe, pause, laugh and ground yourself. It’s 5 stars from me. A must for every woman!

Sarah Hayes
Co-Founder of Active Rest Retreats
Founder of Sarah Hayes Yoga
Sarah is a scientist-turned-yoga teacher who is passionate about inspiring and empowering others to live a life more rested, more sacred and more awake. Trained in vinyasa flow and pranayama (yogic breathwork), and with Ecology and Psychology degrees up her sleeve, Sarah provides an accessible-to-every-day-life and no-fluff approach to the worlds of yoga and spirituality. Practicing with Sarah is like a remembrance of your own self-authority, a deep dive into the intricacies of your breath and body, and a nurturing surrender to restoring connections to self and earth.

Thank you Sarah - I'm ready to take part in the next wonderful opportunity to connect with Country and be present in the moment with respect and love, one breath at a time.

I highly recommend allowing yourself to be guided by Sarah, whether that be in yoga or breath work or meditation or connecting with the great outdoors - or better still in all of the above! She has strong knowledge of the science behind the practice and connects us with this in a thoughtful inclusive way. Sarah gently encourages and supports others to take time to explore and be curious.
