Stories from the Heart
New Year Retreat Overview
Each day of the New Year Renew and Revive Retreat is carefully designed to nurture your body, calm your mind, while still leaving space to simply be. Here’s what a typical day might look like:
Morning
Wake up to the sounds of nature and ease into your day with a grounding yoga class, suitable for all levels. After your morning movement, enjoy a nourishing, organic vegetarian breakfast, made with seasonal produce grown right here in our garden.
Follow breakfast with an inspiring wellness session—these include everything from yogic philosophy and guided meditation, to cooking classes, nutrition education, and workshops on postural alignment and the principles of Ayurveda, the ancient science of holistic health.
On January 1st, we’ll welcome the new year with a peaceful sunrise walk to the Byron Bay Lighthouse—the most easterly point on the Australian mainland.
It’s a magical way to greet the first light of the year, surrounded by nature, community, and intention.
Midday
After your delicious, vegetarian lunch, the afternoon is yours.
Spend it your way—relax by the pool, take a short walk to the beach, or simply rest in the peaceful gardens.
You might also choose to add an optional extra such as a Sauna session, surfing lesson, a kayaking adventure to meet the local dolphins, or a trip to the magical Crystal Castle in the hinterland.
Included in your retreat package are two personal massage treatments—a much-loved highlight. You may enjoy one during this free time, allowing yourself to fully unwind and receive.
Evening
As the sun softens, gather again for a gentle afternoon yoga or restorative practice. Then it’s time for a wholesome dinner shared with like-minded guests.
Evenings may include a relaxing wellness session, reflective journaling, or simply quiet time under the stars.
Special New Year ceremonies and rituals will be woven throughout the week, offering you the space to let go of what no longer serves you and set heartfelt intentions for the year ahead.

Whether you choose a twin room with a shared bathroom, or a private ensuite room with a verandah, you’ll find a harmonious space to recharge and rejuvenate after a day of yoga practice and self-discovery.
Vegetarian Menu
We boast 3 acres of beautiful organic gardens, which supplies most of the food for our vegetarian menu. Our meals are meticulously crafted to be nutritionally balanced, cleansing, and nourishing.
Our commitment to SLOW means sourcing super-fresh produce from our own organic gardens whenever possible and opting for local, organic, and in-season ingredients. This ensures not only the exceptional taste of our meals but also provides toxin-free food with maximum freshness, delivering optimum nutrients to the body.
Retreat Facilities
As a Yoga Retreat guest, you’ll enjoy exclusive access to our 15 acres of retreat lands. Wander through and taste the magic of our 3 acres of organic fruit, vegetable and herb gardens. Soak in our solar heated 20 metre mineral salt pool rich in magnesium. Relax amongst the banana trees in our Balé. Or use one of our on-site bikes and ride into town or explore the local beaches.
Explore
Byron Bay
Our Yoga Retreat guests love spending time at the beach, walking the iconic lighthouse trail, whale or dolphin watching, hanging out in cafes and browsing the unique shops in this funky town known for its alternative and laid back atmosphere. Byron Yoga Centre is conveniently located within walking distance from town. We’ve put together a list of a few of our favourite activities to do in and around Byron Bay during your stay.
