Your Dance Facilitator - Caroline Grandjean-Thomsen
Caroline (Caz) has been rhythmic her whole life. She uses dancing as a tool for self-expression and for sharing her positive energy with others. Having passionately lived and breathed dancing for over 15 years, Caz has performed and facilitated dance at Sydney Opera House, Subsonic Festival, and various venues and festivals in Sydney and Byron Bay. Caz also facilitates weekend Dance Retreats and dances with buskers. What Caz loves MOST is to let her hair down with unplanned, impromptu dancing in public! Your Yoga and Meditation Instructor - Athill Singh Athill presents down-to-earth yoga and meditation adapted to the experience and body type of guests. Athill is a gentle teacher using movement and positions to benefit all participants. Your mind and spirit will benefit from each position as you quietly and purposefully move through each asana.
