I thoroughly enjoyed my weekend retreat. The teachers and sessions were amazing! It was a wonderful way to rest and re-set and remember how wonderful yoga is.
A place to slow down, look inside, breath and go back to basics. Very recommended experience.
The retreat was the best thing I’ve done in my life. Allowed me to realise ‘I’m ok’. Best food, best people, and the best yoga practice. Highly recommended.
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.
Life changing. I should have done this years ago. Such a special place to share, Thank you.
An authentic experience, the way yoga and ashram world used to be and should be. Love the tradition and the perspective it offers.
I am a beginner and was apprehensive about coming because of this, however I think the retreat is a perfect way to kick start yoga practice.
Thank you for a much needed recharge!
There are no words. Attending Byron Yoga Centre is like having a deep sigh.
Welcome to your weekend of rest…
The retreat runs from 3pm Friday to 3pm Sunday, but you’re welcome to arrive earlier on Friday to enjoy lunch and settle in. From 2pm, you’ll meet your retreat host and access your room. After the closing session on Sunday, feel free to continue relaxing on the grounds—maybe a final dip in the mineral salt pool, a beach walk, or a moment of stillness before heading home.
The program begins Friday afternoon with an opening circle, giving you the chance to meet your retreat group and settle into the experience. Your first yoga class will be a relaxing Restorative session—fully supported with props, designed to gently release tension and help you unwind.
Each morning begins with an energising flow yoga class, followed by a nourishing vegetarian breakfast made with ingredients from our organic garden. During the day, you’ll enjoy your included massage, or choose to join optional sessions like a second yoga class or a practical workshop focused on yoga alignment, meditation or guided relaxation.
The evening yoga sessions are calm and grounding—designed to help your body let go and your nervous system settle. Throughout the retreat, our experienced teachers will gently introduce elements of yogic philosophy and mindful living in a way that’s approachable and inspiring.
Our meals are a highlight—healthy, plant-based, and full of flavour, with much of the produce harvested straight from our garden. And yes, you’ll see your next meal growing!
The weekend is designed to give you just the right balance of structure and freedom—so you feel gently held, yet free to rest, reflect, and reconnect.
