FAQs
Can I bring my partner, friend or family member?
Most of our retreats are for mothers only but in some instances there may be an opportunity to bring a partner or family member with you as an additional adult. The price for this will vary depending on the retreat - the best way is to reach out to Jocie to discuss. On our family retreats the price includes 2 adults and up to 2 children.
Can I bring more than one child?
Absolutely! There is a small fee for additional children and sometimes for additional sleeping arrangements also.
What age does my child need to be?
Theta Retreats welcomes children of all ages, however in our experience children tend to be between 1 and 6 years old. Babies under 2 year will require 1:1 childcare which is provided at an additional fee.
I’m a beginner to yoga - does that matter?
Not at all! Jocie’s classes are suitable for all levels and all bodies. She cares deeply about making yoga accessible and enjoyable for everyone so expect creative flows that meet you where you are at.
Do I need to bring yoga equipment?
No - all yoga equipment is provided on all our retreats.
I love the sound of this but my financial situation does not allow at this time. Is there anything I can do?
We completely understand that times are really tough at the moment. We are open to discussing extended payment plans for our retreats if that eases the financial burden. We are also working on a scholarship scheme for less advantaged mothers for future retreats.
What’s included in the price?
All food, accommodation, childcare, babysitting, yoga classes and a range of activities & workshops are included in the price.
Not included are: Flights, transfers, (unless specified), massage and beauty treatments, (unless specified), and additional or extended childcare.
I’m nervous about leaving my child with people they do not know. What if there are issues with this?
Of course it is nerve wracking leaving your children with unfamiliar people. All of our childcarers are sourced diligently and compassionate care-giving is at the heart of what we do is. You will have the chance to meet our our childcarers on the first morning, and then before drop off every day you can chat to your child’s key carer about their specific needs. Each carer will have between 1-2 children (exceptionally 3) and babies will have 1:1 care. They will be looked after usually on site, near to the yoga location but not so near that you will be distracted by them!
Of course if your child is unhappy or really needs their mama, we make sure you are informed.
What if my child does not speak english?
This has not been a problem in the past as children connect so well through play and nature. Our childcare team is varied and on our international retreats our team often includes bi-lingual carers. If you reach out to Jocie she can often pair your child with a childcarer who may speak your child’s first language.
My child is a fussy easter, can you cater for that?
Our kitchen staff are ready for the no-broccoli-brigade! Jokes aside, whether your child is a veggie lover, or is going trough an, ‘only eats beige food’, phase - we will try to cater for them. The kids menu is healthy, fun and always appealing to most little tastebuds.
