5 Reasons to take a Yoga Retreat at Byron Yoga Retreat Centre

  1. Explore Yoga Beyond the Postures
    Our retreats are rooted in Purna Yoga, created by our founder John Ogilvie. Purna means “complete,” and here that means yoga isn’t just about the physical poses — it’s a gentle invitation to connect with your breath, quiet your mind, and discover the deeper wisdom that lives within you.
  2. Find Clarity in a Busy World
    If life feels overwhelming or you’re facing a big decision, stepping away for a retreat can be a kind and powerful way to pause. Surrounded by nature and supported by mindful movement and stillness, you’ll find space to listen to your heart and trust your own inner guidance.
  3. Take a Breath Away From Screens
    In our digital age, it’s easy to feel pulled in every direction by phones and devices. On retreat, you’re invited to slow down, switch off, and reconnect with the world around you — the gentle breeze, the warmth of the sun, the rhythm of your own breath.
  4.  Enjoy Delicious, Nourishing Food
    Here at Byron Yoga Centre, we celebrate food that feeds the body and soul. Much of our fresh produce comes from our onsite organic garden or local farmers. When you retreat with us, you can relax knowing every meal is made with love and care to support your wellbeing.
  5. Create New Habits That Last
    Change is easier when you’re away from the everyday distractions and pressures. A retreat gives you a safe and peaceful place to let go of old habits and gently plant new seeds — whether it’s moving more, resting better, or simply being kinder to yourself.

Stories from the Heart

“Byron Yoga Centre really offers a unique experience for guests. You get the chance to completely switch off, but without feeling like you’re on a strict/disciplined retreat. You learn whilst practicing, you’re given guidance and advice, without it being pushed onto you. And most importantly, everything you do is of your own choice and at your own pace, which I found really unique. The location, facilities and people made you feel like you were part of a family and I would come back in a heartbeat.”

– Emma

“Byron Yoga Centre is an amazing place for you to go back to yourself, and to what matters in your life. You’ll feel nourished in many ways in this beautiful place with such kind beautiful people.”

– Priscila from Brazil

“I just loved coming here. I learn something new every day. Meet amazing people. Incredible food! I love the variety with classes as well!”

– Shannon from Queensland

“I came in very stressed and anxious with a busy mind. I am leaving calm and feeling on the ay to being restored.”

– Chelsea from Victoria

“You come as you were, and leave as you should be.”

– Anastasia from Queensland

“BYC is a fabulous retreat, offering excellent yoga instruction in a non-judgemental relaxing environment. For me an additional bonus is the beautiful mineral swimming pool and close proximity to Byron for a beach walk and swim.”

– Alison from Victoria

Meet your Hosts

Our experienced Byron Yoga Centre team is here to support your journey with warmth and integrity. With decades of experience and a genuine love for what we do, our teachers guide you with compassion and presence.

“We’re not here to fix you. You’re not broken. We’re simply here to hold space while you return to your wholeness.”

Elise is our Retreat Manager, where she has been both teaching and hosting our retreats since 2016.
She teaches a range of styles including vinyasa, yin, restorative and a powerful slow flow. All her classes have an emphasis on body awareness, alignment, nervous system regulation and the mind body connection. Her intention is to create a space where students can connect, grow and develop a deeper understanding of themselves.

Elise’s background in personal training and holistic wellness guided her own wellness journey, which led her to yoga in 2013. Since then, she has traveled to India to complete her 200-hour Level 1 training in Hatha and Ashtanga, followed by numerous additional trainings at Byron Yoga Centre. Elise has been teaching yoga since 2015 and has led hundreds of retreats. She loves connecting with guests and sharing her passion for yoga. Elise believes there is a form of yoga for everyone, and her goal is to help students discover their unique path.

Ross has a love for sharing the ancient wisdom teachings of Yoga and Mindfulness, teachings that have profoundly changed the course of his own life. His favourite thing is when others feel for themselves the healing, nourishing and transformative effects of these simple and time tested practices and principles. He is particularly passionate about helping to facilitate mental wellbeing.

Ross qualified as a yoga teacher in 2013 joining the Byron Yoga Centre team in 2016 where he continues to facilitate retreat groups to this day.

He has completed a Post-Graduate Diploma in Yoga Therapy with world renowned teacher and yoga therapist Dr N. Chandrasekaran, as well as trainings in various meditation techniques, Yin Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Trauma Aware Yoga, Zen Thai Shiatsu massage, and Reiki.

Ross loves swimming in the ocean, enjoying yoga, meditation, and good food… learning, teaching, playing, and walking…and enjoying time with his wife Mariana, their two sons Benji and Jesse, and their cat Shanti, in the Northern Rivers of New South Wales, Australia.

Aurora is a Teacher Trainer and Retreat Host at Byron Yoga Centre since 2016. Also an Emotional Wellbeing Coach – Aurora is known for her calm and compassionate space holding. In her classes she interweaves slow flow Hatha, Restorative and Yin Yoga styles.

Aurora began practising yoga 20 years ago and spent most of her adult life in the UK as a Trainer, Coach and Event Organiser, and it was here that she became aware of the very real nature of burn out.

This led her to delve deeper into yoga and to study the womb and cycles by which the feminine energies are governed. She shares her personal Shakti journey as co-host with Tabata on our Women’s Retreats, and in her classes.

Aurora hopes to inspire her students to reconnect deeply with themselves, align and shine in their true essence, and make space for what’s truly important – on and off the mat.

Colin’s love of yoga was born in Edinburgh at the age of 21 with a rigorous Ashtanga practice. He has been involved in many styles over the years, across a number of countries, from Iyengar to Hot Yoga and most recently Vinyasa, Yin and Myofascial Release.

He began teaching by accident in 2019, completing his Level 1 course in Sydney and has been teaching weekly ever since. Furthering his experience through the Level 2 at Byron Yoga Centre in 2023, he then attended the Restore Training (Yin and Myofascial) with Lennox Yoga later that year.

With an emphasis on bringing together breath, alignment, presence, music and poetry, he endeavours to bring the full open hearted; depth of yoga to participants. With a sprinkling of occasionally good humour, his passion is to meet people wherever they are, regardless of age, sex, body type, injuries and capability.
