Retreat to Bruny Island in the off season
Get cosy at a weekend yoga retreat this Winter on stunning Bruny Island. Join us at Cloudy Bay Lagoon Estate for a memorable experience that combines yoga, great food, and immersing in nature.
Imagine prioritising yourself and your own needs for a whole weekend. Whether you crave alone time or welcome the opportunity to connect with like-minded souls, there will be something on offer for introverts and extroverts alike.
Santosha Yoga Australia retreats are inclusive, accessible and welcoming for everyone, but especially for people who feel intimidated by some mainstream portrayals of yoga.
There are no strict regimes (everything is optional), nothing too woo woo, and there will be people of varying ages, abilities and experience (at yoga, but also at life).
We will do yoga, meditation, breathwork, workshops and other activities, but of course you have the freedom to choose to participate in as little or as much as you like.
In your free time you might choose to rest and relax, go for a walk in the bush or along the beach, get cosy in front of the fire, or watch pademelons from the deck.
We stay in an architect-designed home that sits on the edge of Cloudy Bay Lagoon. The large deck is a wonderful place to watch the sunset over the lagoon.
Surrounded by bush, you will hear nothing but the sounds of nature - or perhaps silence.
Our own private chef, Courtney, will nourish us with her delectable cooking and infectious laughter.
