We're always looking for ways to live more consciously and care for the land that supports us.

Using the power of the sunshine is one small part of that commitment - helping reduce our environmental impact while powering daily retreat life with renewable energy.

For us, sustainability isn’t about perfection, it’s about intention. Small choices, made consistently, that reflect the values we teach inside the yoga room too.

Care.
Awareness.
Connection.
Responsibility.

We know there’s always more to learn and improve along the way, but this is one step in the right direction. ❤

A gentle yin pose to help you slow down, soften, and unwind.

How to set it up:
Sit on your mat and extend your legs forward. If your hamstrings feel tight, place a bolster, cushion, or rolled blanket under your knees. You can also sit on a folded blanket to lift the hips slightly.

Fold forward from the hips, not the waist. Let your spine round naturally and rest your torso onto a bolster, cushion, or your thighs. Allow your arms to relax completely.

Let your head be heavy. Let your breath be slow.

Stay here for 2–7 minutes, or longer if it feels supportive.

This pose isn’t about stretching as far as possible — it’s about letting the body be held so the nervous system can soften.

A place to stop doing. And simply be. 🤍

When was the last time you had a whole day where nothing was expected of you?

No rushing. No catching up. No being “on”.
Just space.

Our Day Yoga Retreats are a simple way to step out of life for a moment and come back to yourself.

You move slowly through the day — gentle yoga, nourishing vegetarian meals, time to rest by the pool or in the gardens, and moments where you don’t have to do anything at all.

Most people don’t realise how tired they are until they finally stop.
If that lands somewhere in you… this might be your sign to pause.

Full Day, Morning, & Afternoon retreat options available.

This Winter Solstice, give yourself permission to pause. A weekend of yoga, reflection, connection, nature, and sacred rest.

Join us this June for a deeply nourishing Winter Women’s Retreat created by Tabata Ogilvie.

Winter invites us inward. To slow down. To listen. To let go of what no longer serves us and reconnect with what truly matters.

Through yoga, sharing circles, meditation, women’s wellness sessions, journalling, and time in nature, this retreat is designed as a space to reconnect with your feminine wisdom, honour your natural rhythms, and remember that rest is not weakness — it is necessary.

Come solo and be held in community, or share the experience with your mother, daughter, sister or friend.

There are still a few spaces left, reach out if you’re ready to go on this journey with us.

Meet Colin 🤍

One of the wonderful hosts on our retreat team, Colin has a way of making people feel genuinely welcome, both on and off the mat.

His classes blend breath, alignment, presence, poetry, and just the right amount of humour, creating a space where everyone feels comfortable, supported, and included no matter where they are on their yoga journey.

But it’s often the moments outside the yoga room that people remember most… the thoughtful conversations, the easy laughter, and the sense of connection and ease he helps create throughout retreat.

Some of the most special moments on retreat happen in between the yoga classes.
Slow breakfasts shared around the table. Nourishing meals made with care. Tea looking over the garden after practice. Conversations with people who, just days earlier, were strangers.

There’s something beautiful about stepping away from busy schedules and remembering what it feels like to truly sit, eat, laugh, and connect.
Retreat isn’t only about the yoga. It’s about the moments in between, too.

The days are getting shorter, the sunsets somehow even more beautiful, and Byron is easing into its slower season.

Cooler mornings.
Cosy retreat evenings.
Nourishing meals shared around the table.
Deep rest.
Long exhale moments after yoga.

There’s something special about this time of year here... it's a little softer, a little quieter, a little more grounding.

If you’ve been craving a reset, retreat season has arrived. 🤍

We’re going to Bali, and would love you to join.

Join Odona Farska and Chris Thompson Lang for a 100-hour Hatha Flow & Yoga Nidra Teacher Training, set in the peaceful surrounds of Ubud, Bali.

This immersive training is designed for yoga teachers, or dedicated practitioners deep in their journey, who are ready to build on their foundations and teach and experience their practice with more clarity, confidence, and authenticity.

Over the course of the training, you’ll explore:
• Creating intentional, themed sequencing that truly flows
• Weaving breath and energy awareness through your classes
• Refining your voice, presence, and confidence as a teacher
• Learning to guide Yoga Nidra in a grounded, natural way

More than just training, it’s a chance to step away from the noise, immerse yourself in your practice, and be supported by a like-minded community in a deeply nourishing setting.

We’re going to Bali and would love you to join us there.

Plus, you may be eligible to claim this retreat as a tax deduction. 😉

Uttanasana (Forward Fold) teaches us something we rarely practise in everyday life: surrender.

Not striving.
Not pushing.
Just softening.

In yoga, we often think progress comes from effort. But some of the deepest shifts happen when we learn to let go instead.

A little less gripping.
A little more breathing.
A little more trust.
