We have all missed so many things in our life this year. The simple things like having a coffee with a friend, going to a yoga class, taking our kids to weekend sport, road trips with friends…the list goes on. And one thing we, at Light Space, have also really missed this year is being able to offer our yoga retreats. So as we move towards 2021, we are really excited to bring you our first Australian based retreat, set in the rainforest in the hinterland of Byron Bay. Soma is a contemporary oasis only a short 10 minute drive from the centre of Byron yet feels like a sanctuary tucked in the hills away from civilisation. With the intention of creating a space to recharge your batteries, Soma has been mindfully designed with a modern yet warm aesthetic, allowing clarity externally for whatever space you need within. Featuring a 22 acre forest with thousands of variety of plant species, you can explore the forest, relax by the fresh water infinity pool, simply read a book in the shared living area, and of course be immersed in a week long yoga journey with Clare and Susan, inside Soma’s amazing rainforest yoga dome. This will be a different retreat experience with us as we enjoy a week together in the luxury Soma house featuring only 10 deluxe rooms each with a king bed and private ensuite bathroom. Spaces for this retreat are very limited. Imagine daily yoga and meditation, plenty of fresh air, healthy and delicious meals catered by the incredible Todd Stream Cameron, time to journal, time to think, lying by the pool, chatting with your fellow yogis as you watch the sunset, and…lots of time just for you! You will start each day with a beautiful sunrise meditation practice, followed by an energising slow flow/vinyasa yoga class in Soma’s yoga dome where we will delve deep and expand our practice and awareness throughout the duration of the retreat. After class, you’ll be served a scrumptious breakfast filled with organic produce. After breakfast, there’ll be plenty of ‘you’ time. You can explore the rainforest, explore Byron Bay, lie by the pool, or maybe indulge in an afternoon nap in your beauitful room. Then just before dusk, surrounded by the beauty of nature in Soma’s yoga dome, you will experience the complete nurture of yin yoga to rejuvenate the body and mind. This is your opportunity to sink back into restorative and rejuvenating poses and relaxation.
