DEE WAS BORN IN MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA
Y O G A JOURNEY
Dee's active upbringing and love of physical activity was disrupted by severe health issues in her teens.
The road to recovery began with the good fortune of experiencing her first health retreat experience. This wholistic approach was a revelation which sparked the direction of her future education and employment.
The emotional impact of the early death of her beloved father further consolidated her belief in the practice of mind and body harmony.
She experimented in a variety of yoga traditions, healing dance, personal ritual and extensive world travel, to become the free spirited aware global citizen she is today.
For the past 20 years she has worked hard to create opportunities which have allowed the fusion of her life's passions - yoga & travel - to become her default lifestyle and business - Retreats for Life.
In 2014, Retreats for Life Founder & Director Ms. D Ritterman noticed the need for quality intimate retreats in unique settings (particularly in the southern hemisphere), and she began to realize her vision of presenting opportunities to disconnect from hyper-communication and reconnect with nature, culture and experience.
She feels privileged to be able to express her passions to others.

She developed her unique teaching style: balancing disciplined anatomical alignment with flowing choreographed fun, united by the focus of the breath.
As a teacher she is known for inspiring and empowering her students with her vivacious and playful personality, open mind and inclusive approach to learning, teaching and life.
