*Earlybird – offer only available for bookings made more than 8 weeks prior to course commencement.

If you have less time you might want to consider a 5 Day or 3 Day program.

Our 7 Day Health & Yoga Retreat is a wonderful opportunity to relax into a full week at our tranquil retreat centre on the outskirts of Byron Bay in northern NSW.

Our retreat programs align with the wisdom of Ayurveda, the ancient holistic system of healing that seeks to restore balance in body, mind and spirit. Ayurveda recognises that we need to tailor our diet, yoga practice and lifestyle with the season and so our guests will now benefit from new sessions every three months: Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.

You will reap maximum benefits from participating in the complete week of retreat sessions and in a whole week of yoga, nourishing food and immersion in nature. All our retreat programs offer the option of up to three yoga classes each day plus sessions to introduce meditation and pranayama (breathing exercises). With the 7 Day Retreat you will have time to establish practices so that you feel confident to continue at home. Those new to yoga will get a solid foundation to safely practice key poses.

With the all-inclusive 7 Day Retreat package you also benefit from three complimentary treatments included in the price. You can select from the various options of  different styles of treatments and therapists. These massages are scheduled in the afternoons when you have free time. This is also your chance to relax by the pool or grab a bike and cycle into town or to the beach. The Byron Yoga Retreat Centre is just an easy 10 minutes bike ride from Byron Bay!

The 7 Day stay will give you time to explore the area or add on additional activities such as surfing, but many guests choose to mainly remain on site and enjoy the pool and lush grounds. The retreat centre has an abundant organic garden where much of the produce for the delicious meals is grown. The fresh, seasonal meals are all plant based (always with vegan and gluten-free options). As part of the 7 Day Health Retreat, you get to pick some of the ingredients that are used in the cooking demonstration.

The 7 Day Retreat offers an opportunity to really relax into the pace of the program, the vibe of Byron and to reconnect to your highest intentions.

Health Retreat Overview

This 7 Day Retreat is designed to offer a comprehensive health kick to reset your body and balance your mind and emotions.

The daily program starts with either an early morning flow yoga class suitable for all levels, or a walk to the iconic Byron Bay lighthouse. Then comes what many say is the most important meal of the day; and here at Byron Yoga Retreat Centre we take or breakfasts seriously! The range of dishes varies every day and includes a wonderful variety of tasty options, and (at a small cost) we also offer eggs.

The structure of the program is designed with morning and evening sessions after the meals so that you are not too full when you take the yoga classes. Then we give you the afternoon free for personal treatments plus pool or beach time. The pool is a 20 metre mineral salt pool (solar heated in winter) so it can help sooth any aching muscles! The workshop sessions cover nutrition and wellness plus an introduction to yogic philosophy and how to apply this wisdom to your daily life.

There is the option of a second alignment based yoga class before lunch, or you can choose to skip this in favour of a good book! Later in afternoon we offer either a restorative or Yin yoga class to facilitate deep relax and to restore balance.

The 7 Day Retreat program allows you to fully relax and recharge. You are invited to let go of that which no longer servers you, set intentions for real change and take home tools to make it last.

I feel inspired and re-focussed after spending time at the incredible Byron Yoga Centre. I have learnt so much. I feel completely relaxed and rejuvenated. Coming was the right decision for me and I hope many others yet to experience this too. Katherine
