Yoga and Creativity Holidays
The most recent yoga holiday to Fiji was held from 31 May - 8 June 2008. We are planning future yoga holidays to both Fiji and Thailand. If you are interested or you would like to arrange one for your own yoga group, the following information might be of interest.
The Island of Kadavu in tropical Fiji offers the perfect setting to revitalise in your own private paradise whilst engaging with a grounded and supportive community.
Papageno's eco-resort is an intimate oasis on the mid-north coast of Kadavu Island, Fiji. The resort is situated in a lovely, calm, sandy bay fringed with pristine coral reefs for diving and snorkelling. The lush surrounds are a perfect settting for relaxation and yoga practices. All meals are included and prepared fresh from the resort's own organic garden.
Daily yoga with Lucy was be held in a beautiful yoga shala on the beach. An enlivening, grounded practice helped to unwind bodies and minds. After yoga, a leisurely stroll to the dining bure where a spread of deliciosu breakfast including tropical fruis, porridge, homemade muffins, toasts, eggs and cereals awaited.
Each day after yoga and meditation (and after digesting breakfast!) paticipants joined in workshops led by Melbourne artist and musician Chris Saray. These workshops included such mediums as drawing, poetry and painting.
Other optional activities included snorkelling, scuba diving, sea kayaking, hiking and a visit to a local village and an uplifting sunday church service.

Papageno's offers you delightful traditional Fijian style living that blends island charm with modern luxuries. You can choose either the Garden Rooms or the Ocean Front Bures. These can be taken as single, twin or three share options (families, please enquire about futher options.)
Garden Rooms
There are four garden rooms available, two for couples and two larger rooms for families or groups. These rooms are located approximately 125 yards inland in the pristine tropical gardens and each room shares a wall and a front porch with it's neighbor. The rooms have generous ensuite bathrooms. They are located near the feeding area of the Shining Parrots (which are not found anywhere else in the world.)
Ocean Front Bures
The five traditional Fijian Bures at Papageno's are spacious, elegantly furnished and situated within a few dozen feet of the white sandy beach. Each is surrounded by aromatic gardens of exotic flowers and jungle plants, with the rush of waves to lull you to sleep and an orchestra of birdsong to wake you in the morning.
Each Bure has an Ensuite washroom with hot and cold (drinkable) running water pumped from a sweet spring high in the hills behind the resort. Each also has a leak-proof roof covered with grass to cool the inside under a tropical sun, plus walls of louvered shades through which is carried the scent of blossoms on the cooling ocean breeze. Stylish furniture, smooth wooden floors and Fijian wall decorations complete each Bure.
