Nourished Journey Vietnam
Yoga, Food, Culture & Connection Women's Retreat
Hoi An, Vietnam
6 Nights
Sunday 22nd March - Saturday 28 March, 2026

Do you love delicious food, learning about culture by watching local life, and real conversations?
Then The Nourished Way retreat in beautiful Hoi An, Vietnam, is your kind of retreat.
This retreat is for the curious and open-hearted traveller. The kind of person who values experiences over checklists, and connection over constant motion. It's for women who want to feel inspired, nourished and recharged, who crave meaningful moments with like-minded people, and who appreciate learning skills they can carry into daily life.
Hoi An offers the perfect backdrop to nourish yourself. With its lantern-lit streets, fragrant markets, peaceful rice paddies, and riverside charm, the town invites you to move at a slower pace. It’s a place where tradition and wellbeing naturally blend. Where meals are vibrant and fresh, movement is part of daily life, and connection flows effortlessly.
Perfect for those who love to blend activity with relaxation in a way that leaves you feeling energetic and alive. Morning yoga sessions, scenic walks, pedalling through rice fields and swimming in the pool. In between, we’ll explore the culture through food - visiting local markets, taking a Vietnamese cooking class, and dining at hidden gem restaurants and cafes.
You’ll learn practical, down-to-earth nutrition strategies that help you feel good in your skin—without needing to give up everything you enjoy.
All you need is a curious spirit, an open heart, and enough fitness to enjoy daily yoga, gentle walks and bike rides at a relaxed pace.
So if you're ready to feel nourished from the inside out and explore one of Vietnam’s most charming towns while doing it...join us.
This is the way back to you. The Nourished Way.
Hi! I'm Mel
...I'm your retreat host, nutritionist, & yoga teacher.
Aside from that, I love having my tastebuds lit up with amazing food, engaging in meaningful connection, and travel experiences that feed the soul.
Over the years, I’ve worked with hundreds of women to help cut through the noise and confusion around food and health. I believe in nourishment that goes far beyond what's on your plate - because true wellbeing comes from joy, movement, culture, connection, and learning how to tune in to what your body really needs.
This retreat brings together some of my greatest passions: vibrant food, slow travel, local culture, and real conversations. We’ll explore bustling markets, eat incredible meals, and enjoy relaxed movement and yoga sessions to help you feel grounded and energised. Most importantly, you’ll leave with a deeper understanding of how to nourish yourself in a way that actually works for you - without guilt or overwhelm.
I can't wait to guide you through this experience, introduce you to my favourite parts of Hoi An, and share a retreat that’s delicious for both the soul and the taste buds.

Once Daily Yoga Sessions
Each day will include a relaxed and grounding yoga session - designed to help you reconnect with your body, slow down, and feel good.
Some sessions will be guided by me in a peaceful space overlooking the rice paddies, while others will give you the chance to experience Hoi An’s local yoga scene with visits to a couple of my favourite studios.
No advanced practice needed - these classes are about movement, breath, and presence, not perfection. Whether you're a seasoned yogi or just dipping your toes in, you'll feel supported and at ease.
