Take the next step with your practice … in paradise

Have you nurtured yourself lately? A retreat in Australia’s yoga capital, Byron Bay, allows you the perfect opportunity to reconnect with yourself and nature, and enhance your yoga practice with daily meditation, asana, a wholesome sattvic diet and much much more!

Immerse yourself fully in the yoga lifestyle with the guidance of experienced and nurturing teachers who will give you the support and encouragement that you need to develop or maintain a rewarding yoga practice that you can take home with you.

Our intimate yoga retreats will give you the opportunity to make life-long friendships with like-minded people, or simply take time out to truly nurture yourself.

We provide a variety of activities for you to enjoy such as daily yoga and meditation classes, massage treatments and evening entertainment including kirtan and discussions on yogic philosophy.

"I had an amazing, cathartic time on retreat with Byron Yoga Centre and I've been praising the experience all over town. Thank you again for offering an opportunity to go deeper into oneself through the practice of yoga. You showed the way! Thanks again and take care....hope to see you at another retreat," C.Ryan, Retreat Participant

Accommodation

Tallow Beach Houses

Retreats are 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 relaxation.

Tallows Beach is an easy 20 minutes bicycle ride to Byron Bay and 5 minutes from Suffolk Park Village.

The beachfront cottages are set in acres of natural bushland where the beach and the bush meet together.

The self contained and secluded cottages have large undercover decks for outdoor living.

The 2 bedroom cottages are a mere 50 metres away from the beach.

The endless sounds of the rolling waves and the calls of birds guarantee peace and serenity, where the beach and the bush come together on the edge of the National Park. Your own private beachside tennis court, uncrowded waves, and a lake complete the scene.
