What happens when you combine restorative yoga, beautiful food, indulgent treatments and the peaceful surroundings of one of Taupō’s most exclusive luxury retreats? Something rather special.
For Debi Hendra of Love Yoga Taupō, creating the perfect wellness retreat was about more than yoga. She wanted to give her students something special: a chance to slow down, reconnect and enjoy a little luxury.
With over 20 years of teaching experience, Debi brought her vision to life at The Point Villas, curating a beautiful day of relaxation, mindful movement and indulgence.
A Day Thoughtfully Curated by Debi
Every detail was considered. Debi brought together experienced therapists, a private chef and a carefully planned programme designed to help guests truly unwind.
The morning began with gentle yin and restorative yoga, followed by fresh fruit, muesli, tea, coffee and juices.
Then came a 45-minute guided breathwork journey, drawing on practices Debi had previously shared while teaching in China.
From there, guests were invited to slow down and enjoy the beautiful surroundings of The Point Villas at their own pace.
A Little Indulgence Goes a Long Way
Imagine moving from a soothing massage to a leisurely three-course lunch, beautifully prepared by a private chef.
Or spending the afternoon enjoying the sauna, spa and refreshing cold plunge, surrounded by the tranquillity of The Point Villas.
Guests could enjoy a full-body massage or a FaceUp head, neck and shoulder treatment, before coming together for a deeply relaxing Yoga Nidra session, afternoon tea and a closing circle.
No rushing. No distractions. Just time to be present.
It was everything Debi had hoped to create: a day where wellbeing, meaningful connection and a little luxury came together naturally.
A Setting That Makes All the Difference
Part of what made the retreat so special was the setting.
Tucked away in the exclusive Whakamoenga Point estate, The Point Villas offers the privacy, beautiful lake views and peaceful natural surroundings that make switching off feel effortless.
With luxurious spaces to gather, unwind and enjoy time together, the property provided a beautiful backdrop for every part of Debi’s thoughtfully curated retreat.
Here, a wellness experience feels less like an organised event and more like a luxurious escape.
Inspired to Create Your Own Wellness Retreat?
Debi also curates personalised wellness experiences, from intimate one-day retreats to indulgent weekends and longer stays.
With over two decades of experience, she can bring together yoga, breathwork, meditation, experienced therapists and private chefs to create something tailored to your group.
Perhaps it’s a gentle day of relaxation with friends, or a weekend filled with mindful movement, delicious dining and time to reconnect.
The beauty is that the experience can be entirely your own.
