The art of returning home
Have you noticed how life just doesn’t stop? How it keeps twisting, turning, endlessly speeding up?
Have you noticed how there’s always another difficult conversation to have at work with your colleague? At home with your partner? With your teenage kid?
Have you realised that every time you think you know how it’s going to pan out, something shifts, changes, slips through your grip?
Did I make the right choice? Did I say the right thing? Should I have been firmer, kinder, silent?
How should I be through it all?
An embodied yoga practice ~ one where you actually live the practice ~ provides you with a soft anchor through every trial & every tribulation.
An embodied yoga practice is a lantern in the dark, your lantern in the dark ~ it’s not about perfection or about adding another thing to your endless wellness to-do list.
It’s about fundamentally shifting your way of being, from your core, so that you can make decisions & take action in a way feels authentically you, even when the outside noise is telling you otherwise.
An embodied yoga practice offers you the chance to anchor into the sweetest version of yourself, if you’re ready to take it.
Are you ready to come home?
Situated on beautiful land at the foot of Wollumbin (sacred Mount Warning), you will have the opportunity to participate in a thriving spiritual community in the Northern Rivers, explore the lesser shared philosophy of yoga with me and guest Vedic teachers, experience extended yoga practices & share meals with people who are also seeking a more connected life. This is an intentional retreat to support you to access the quiet place that allows you to tenderly hold whatever's happening on the surface: to become the person you already know you can be.

Brianna is a yoga teacher, with 16 years of practice experience. Brianna knows the real nectar of yoga is not the physical practice but developing your connection to your spiritual self. Brianna is known for her grounded workshops & down-to-earth approach. She’s very excited to welcome you to Return Home Retreat.

Laxmivan served as a Vedic Priest for 10 years, before leaving the ashram & discovering power yoga (there are no rules here!) Laxmivan can quote parts of ancient yogic texts in Sanskrit at will, but still manages to deliver yogic philosophy in with lots of humour & in a a way that feels grounded, accessible and effortlessly applicable to your life :)

Krishna Village is located near the local town of Murwillumbah. It is a 6 hour drive from Newcastle or an 8 hour drive from Sydney. If driving, I love stopping on the way at Crescent Head or Scotts Head. If flying, Krishna Village is a 1 hour drive south of Gold Coast Airport. An uber can be booked for around $100 or there are buses/coaches that will drop you to the local town. If you need any support planning your trip, please reach out.

Krishna Village has a range of accommodation options, from budget BYO camping, to more luxe lakeview cabins.
I recommend the Cottages, the Lotus Pod or, for something more luxe the Lake View Cabins.
Please note Krishna Village gets busy in spring, so you should book your accommodation at the time of booking your spot on retreat.
You can view your options and book here.

We will start the first workshop around 2pm on the Friday. It can be really nice to get there the night before to settle into the village.
We will wrap up around lunchtime on the Monday. Again, you are welcome to add an extra night when you book your accommodation if you would like to stay a little longer.
-
All food is pure vegetarian food ~ which means no eggs, but includes dairy. All meals are prepared to accommodate the whole village & ashram at a time, so unfortunately no changes can be made. There is almost always gluten free options. Reach out if you have any questions.
-
All yoga mats & props will be provided. Bring comfy clothes & bug spray. If you are staying in a BYO budget camping option, you will need to bring all your bedding & shelter with you.
“You make all the teachings so grounded & accessible. You want to do it with you. Its very open, comforting & no-judgment zone.”
