Byron Yoga Centre Surf and Yoga Retreat – Byron Bay
Our January yoga and surfing retreats run in conjunction with Mojo Surf have proved to be a great success and we've planned dates for the next one. It will be held at our beautiful Tallows Beach venue where you can swim in the ocean or walk along the beach during the day in between yoga, meditation and surfing.
This retreat is ideal for people who have joined us on retreat before and are looking for a new experience with added variety, it's also great for couples with different interests. A strong body helps create a strong mind and the retreat is a safe and fun environment to explore this.
The retreat is an exciting opportunity to immerse yourself in the yoga lifestyle and enjoy a comprehensive and authentic experience of yoga every day, with the support of an experienced team who have been running retreats and surf holidays for many years.
Water activities are a great way to develop core strength which is important to protect the lower back in yoga, it also helps you move with greater awareness from the centre of your body, providing greater protection and stability. Being in the ocean is a great way to clear the mind and be in the body while enjoying the natural environment.
