Stories from the Heart
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
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!
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.
5th return visit – always enjoyable and relaxing, great facilities and outstanding staff. Beautiful setting.
You come as you were, and leave as you should be.
I just loved coming here. I learn something new every day. Meet amazing people. Incredible food! I love the variety with classes as well!
Byron Yoga Retreat helped me integrate and balance. At the end of my 7 day retreat my body was relaxed and mind was clear of clutter.

Time to relax, time to give back to yourself, time for you. Come to Byron Yoga Centre.
I did the 7 day retreat in Jan 25. I can’t leave without complimenting BYC and staff for a wonderous collection of skills, hard work, friendliness and compassion! It was smoothly run, I could feel the love! All the details have been thought of and little free extras were given, making me feel welcomed. They even catered for my needs; a special insight is needed to do this, they have it! We had a dance to my favourite song at the end of a yoga class. Yaaahoo. Big hugs, Thank you, Lorenzo.
