Yoga Retreat Overview

The 5 Day Retreat has a flexible program of yoga and meditation classes plus workshops on nutrition, yogic philosophy and holistic wellness. An important aspect to the health giving benefits of the retreat are the nourishing plant based meals of fresh, seasonal food sourced where possible from the onsite organic gardens. Due to popular demand we have now included a garden tour and a cooking demonstration in the program.

The daily schedule starts with an early morning flow yoga class and during the retreat there is an option of a walk to the famous Byron Bay lighthouse. After breakfast you will have the main yoga and wellness workshop of the day and, following a short break before an alignment based yoga class. The third yoga class of the day at 4.30pm is always a deeply relaxing session of either Yin or Restorative yoga. All classes are optional but by committing to the full program you more likely to build the skills to continue a home practice.

Each day there is free time between lunch and the 4.30pm class, inviting you to enjoy the pool, visit the beach or explore the town (there are complimentary bicycles you can use for the 10 minute ride). This is also the time to utilise the two rejuvenating treatments included in your package – you can always choose to book an additional massage at your own cost and make this a daily event!

Over the last 5-years I have returned 3-times for retreats. The first time I went I’d never done any yoga in my life – it doesn’t matter if you are a beginner have a lifetime of practice. The teachers help us all. The entire staff from the cleaners, gardeners, cooks, teachers and resort hosts are so lovely and nurturing. Always greeting you with a smile and and open heart. If you are worn out from life and need some nurturing then Byron Yoga will give you a recharge, love and laughter and let you get to know yourself a little better.

I stayed for a 7-day yoga retreat. It was an amazing week of learning, relaxation and new friendships. I would highly recommend this place for anyone who wants to deepen their yoga practice or even start one and learn in a supportive environment. The teachers were excellent at providing options for those like me with injuries and you are supported with amazing food, massages and magnesium salt pool. Equally as good were the friendships formed, and the conversations had. The location is beautiful and peaceful, and all the staff are lovely and knowledgeable

The staff at BYC were wonderful — friendly and helpful. My daughter and I enjoyed the classes, the food, massage treatments and the services/facilities. It may not be super flash like some high-end spa-retreats, but it was comfortable, clean, relaxing and exactly right for us. We had the freedom to come and go as we pleased, which allowed us time to visit Byron and other surrounding towns. All of the teachers are very attentive and caring in how they teach beginners as well as more advanced practitioners.

Not being a proficient yoga practitioner, and being somewhat older, I initially felt some trepidation at the prospect of a 7-day yoga retreat, with 3 classes a day!
Yet, all of the staff and yoga teachers were amazing, in that they were not only congruent with what they were teaching, but they were also 100% supportive of each individual’s preferences and needs.
The rustic atmosphere was relaxing and the 3 massages included in my package were amazingly calming, which was exactly what I needed after such a busy year work-wise. I also really enjoyed learning and experiencing a truly authentic yoga lifestyle, great food, early nights, and simple amenities, all within a stunningly beautiful location.
Thanks so much for having me!
