2025 Byron Bay Retreat
25 - 30 August, 2025
Soma is a contemporary oasis only a short 10 minute drive from the centre of Byron yet feels like a sanctuary tucked away in the rainforest of the hinterland in Byron Bay.
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 5 night/6 day yoga journey with Clare and Susan, inside Soma’s amazing rainforest yoga dome.
This is a unique retreat experience with us as we enjoy 5 nights/6 days together in the luxury Soma house featuring only 10 deluxe rooms each with private ensuite bathroom, with all meals included. Spaces for this retreat are very limited.
Imagine daily yoga and meditation, plenty of fresh air, healthy and delicious meals prepared by our incredible private chef, 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 after lunch in your beautiful 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 and yoga nidra to rejuvenate the body and mind. This is your opportunity to sink back into restorative and rejuvenating poses and relaxation.
All meals and drinks are included on this very special retreat.
A special Light Space Yoga gift bag filled with specials treats and goodies from lots of our friends
A special final dinner on the last night
Wireless internet (…unless you want to escape the internet for a while)
