WERRI BEACH RETREAT 2025

This is a weekend retreat, away from daily life, giving you an opportunity to immerse yourself in your yoga practice in a relaxed, beachside environment. All accommodation, food and yoga is included in the cost of the retreat. 

Werri Beach is a lovely, quiet spot 2 hours from Penrith by car. Walk along the beach, visit the lagoon, or just relax in the holiday cabins. We will practise yoga in the hall, eat together in the cottage, and stay in pre-booked accommodation. 

The retreat is suitable for students with a minimum of 3 months Iyengar yoga experience.
