Join SoHo Yoga founder & owner Amanda Zdanowicz for a sumptuous yoga and meditation retreat to awaken the senses. Surrounded by nature in this incredibly beautiful part of the world we will enjoy twice daily yoga & meditation classes for all levels themed around re-connecting with the natural environment and our five senses. Enjoy morning yoga and meditation on the deck to the sounds of birdsong, cicadas and frogs, and an evening of restorative yoga bathed in harmonic sound healing. Experience the delicious flavours of local, organic produce and a very special cooking class brought to you by international chef and wellness coach Dan Lange, plus a wine & chocolate meditation to tantalise the taste buds. Luxuriate in a sensuous massage with personalised aromatherapy oils, and delight in the beautifully designed and crafted boutique accommodation set against the stunning backdrop of the Byron Hinterland. An absolute feast for the five senses - this small group retreat is limited to a maximum of 12 guests so book early to avoid disappointment.
LOCATION
We stay at Hinterland , set on 85 acres of rainforest escarpment and rolling hills in the Byron Hinterland, approx. 2hrs 15 min drive from Brisbane. Hinterland is Byron Bay’s newest boutique, eco-luxury accommodation experience. The entire property is passive solar in design and has been created from recycled materials and renovated buildings. Enjoy a swim in the dam, wander the spring fed creeks, or take a hop skip and a jump to the surf and all that the Byron Shire has to offer.
ACCOMMODATION
The White House has been lovingly restored as the main accommodation building and has loads of historic charm coupled with modern amenities. Accommodation is twin or double share in seven unique suites. Each room has a separate entrance, and opens onto an enormous north facing deck. The White House has inspired interiors featuring hardwood boards throughout, and collected vintage lights and furnishings abound. Best of all though is the luxe bedding with dreamy mattresses draped in flax linen and Egyptian cotton.
ABOUT THE FOOD
Retreat pricing is all inclusive of 3 delicious & nutritious meals each day plus a very special cooking class brought to you by international chef and wellness coach Dan Lange of Bee Nourished Byron Bay. With over 22 years in the food, health and wellness industry, Dan completed his formal training in Sydney with the likes of Tetsuya’s, Luke Magnan and some of Sydney’s finest restaurants.
