MEET YOUR HOSTS
MEET MAX
It’s hard to pinpoint exactly what makes Max so remarkable as a conduit of yoga. She’s an outlier, a rare one, somebody who doesn’t fit into any clearly defined box or label.
Instead, she delights in the spaces between, guiding you back to your own heart and body wisdom, opening the doors to greater self-exploration through a blend of curiosity, play and intuitive movement.
While her knowledge and experience of yoga is undeniable, it is her devotion to living yoga that gets your attention. Without a shred of pretence, Max will conjure a space where you get to embody the journey of yoga – for you.

Guest Feedback
Food was out of this world. i didn’t over indulge so I felt uncomfortable and bloated. But also wasn’t hungry. It was lovely to be able to help ourselves to teas and coffees too. The variety was amazing and think it made all of us realise that food should be enjoyed more to fuel our bodies and not just inhaled!!!
i’ve already told everyone it was life-changing for me. It was relaxing, emotional, happy, thought-provoking, pure time for me.A it was a very special time where I was guided through a beginning, middle, ending & some silence - which gave an opportunity to come back to myself. It is a reflective time and a celebration too as Max & Charla have both played key parts in the journey of me working on my health.
