8 Day Forest Yoga Retreat Australia by Donation

YOUR ECSTATIC STAY IN NATURE

​

This tiny yoga retreat is small and very secluded in nature’s pristine forest. It caters to just one to four people who get to call this place Nirvana and home for their retreat experience. Some retreats may have more people. You live in the yoga teacher’s residence, so in this respect it is a true ashram. And will learn direct from Dhyan how to deeply experience yoga. It is also a chance to go deep into any personal issues affecting your life and work through them with Dhyan using his Ascension Yoga healing. (If Dhyan is not present then an experienced yogi who will guide you). Your retreat will include one on one healing sesssions with Dhyan.

​

If you want to get away from people and crowds then this is your place to meet just a few like minded yogis.

​

You will be living and breathing life into your temple that is your divine body with the yoga teacher in his forest Lodge deep in the wild Australian bush in a private remote valley surrounded by millions of hectares of gum forest. It was chosen to be in complete seclusion from outside interference to reconnect you to Nature. 

​

There are many amazing bushwalking trails with views of sandstone cliffs in order for you to explore the native Eucalypt nature and forest to meditate and connect to the native flora and fauna. Rock wallabies, possums, Kookaburras, goannas, many birds, bats, lizards and frogs.

​

YOGA

​

The Yamas and Niyamas are taught according to Patanjali. Basic to intermediate Asanas and Pranayama are Ashtanga and Sivananda Hatha mixed together and changed to an Ascension style. Meditation is Tantric Chakra focussed and Vipassana. We will teach to your level which includes yoga philosophy.

​

​

ASCENSION HEALING 

​

One on one sessions to heal particular issues bothering you in your life, or blocks be they physical, mental or sexual. 30 years experience in alternative health and yoga, Dhyan has formulated a healing system to resolve many blocks in the spiritual path to release joy and see other options as to how to live using many systems of Yoga to deeply heal. 

​

HEALTHY ORGANIC FOOD GROWN HERE

Your retreat needs healthy nutritious organic vegetables and fruits grown here at the retreat to nourish your body as a whole. We have mango, pecan, orange, grapefruit, custard apple trees in our own beautiful Orchard. Sadly 2019 bushfires took half the orchard which is being replanted. Cauliflower, broccoli, gourmet lettuce, mortgage lifter tomatoes, parsley, sweet potato, zucchini, pumpkin, bok choy, cabbage, spinach, capsicum, peppers, beans, herbs, dill, thyme, oregano, mint – all are grown here for you to eat.  So you can experience food grown with yogic love and kindness in your vegan feast meals and juices. We pride ourselves on the praise we get for our meals.
