Lennox Yoga Retreat

14 - 18 May 2025 at Wybalena Farm, The Pocket

Imagine this…

Instead of waking up without a tight chest or immediate sense of panic about the day ahead…

You have quiet mornings where the first instinct isn’t to check emails or scroll.

Instead of struggling to fall asleep because you’re mentally replaying work conversations or making to-do lists…

Your head hits the pillow and you’re already disconnected from work and technology, so falling asleep is a breeze.

Instead of thinking it’s normal how stiff and tense you feel all the time…

You finally realise how much better your body can feel and you notice areas that were once tight feel light and easeful.

Instead of simple decisions feeling weirdly hard because there’s too much noise in your head…

You feel more decisive, with laser-sharp focus and thoughts feeling spacious, rather than crowded.

The recharge you need to feel like yourself again.

This is what’s possible from a four day reset.

Give yourself a total overhaul so you can…

Lift the brain fog and get your edge back.

Be more present with your loved ones.

Feel a deep exhale through your body after being constantly “on.”

A retreat like no other…

This not a stressful holiday where you have to avoid traffic and crowds and do tons of research to figure out the best place to eat.

We’ve curated a journey of renewal and thought of everything.

Quiet your mind with meditation. Invigorate your body with vinyasa yoga. Uplift your soul with mantra. Feel the transformative power of breathwork and ice baths.

Relax with unique workshops like Yins & Pins and Sound Healing. Express yourself with Mindful Macramé, and dive into the depths of your being with tea ceremony.

Evenings bring outdoor fires, starry skies, and live music so we can hang out and celebrate!

The details


Location

“Wybalena” means a place to rest and is a stunning 170-acre farm located at The Pocket in the Byron Bay hinterland. A purpose-built private retreat centre, this property oozes serenity which makes it the perfect location for our yoga retreat. For those travelling from afar, Gold Coast airport is a 35 minute drive and Ballina airport is a 40 minute drive.

Rooms

Beautiful farm style accommodation ranging from basic twin rooms to Scandinavian inspired, oak floored cabins and deluxe king bedrooms with ensuite and bath. The main house and cabins have been carefully designed to make the most of the stunning views and the tranquillity of the property.

Everything you need for the perfect time away. Yoga hall with stunning views of the farm, large banquette style dining table, large open plan kitchen, cosy lounge room with open fire and library. Magnesium swimming pool, infra-red sauna, fire pit and farm walking trails of varying distance.

Amenities

Nourishment

Tash & Tom from Burbury Wholefoods will be treating us to food that’s more than just a meal—it’s an experience. Expect vibrant, nourishing dishes that inspire you to reconnect with the simple, sacred act of eating. Enjoy a glass of wine at the end of the day or with dinner.

Love from past retreats

  • I truly loved the entire experience.

    Going away somewhere beautiful with beautiful people where you don’t have to think about anything and can just focus on feeling and being in the moment is a true gift to yourself. I am so glad I chose to attend and grateful to you girls who put so much thought into what was included.

    You struck the perfect balance of opt-in activities and downtime. The yoga was next level nourishing, the food was too, as well as being incredibly delicious.

    Above all I think it was the connections we all made with each other that left me literally speechless when it came time to say goodbye.

    Ange

  • It was PURE BLISS.

    The setting was so beautiful. I enjoyed safe bush walks, professional massage, a great variety of yoga classes and the meals were absolutely delicious. The laughs around the fire was the best medicine. I highly recommend Lennox Yoga - a very special community of dedicated angels.

    Leigh

  • Could easily do another!

    Thank you for a wonderful time at the retreat.  It was a complete treat for me to have the time and funds to invest in myself alone. I could definitely get used to it!!

    I loved the connections made over the four days, loved the delicious wholesome meals and loved the location and the beautifully maintained property.  Thoroughly enjoyed myself and could easily do another retreat.

    Beau

  • What a wonderful way to reset.

    Coming back to Wybalena Retreat this year felt like coming home. But not the home that can sometimes feel chaotic and rushed and where jobs need to be done. No, it's the home that felt like a sanctuary, a familiar, safe and peaceful space to soak up the winter sun and sit by the fire with a cuppa and a book amongst like-minded yogi friends. It invited me to slow down, be cared for and nourished, and to deepen friendships that were founded on the mat. This year for me it was about freedom, fun, celebrating life and of course the amazing yoga! The beauty of its proximity means you arrive in no time but you feel like you could be a million miles away.

    Ange

  • Nothing more required to feel healthy & nourished.

    Many thanks Dana and Dee for creating such a warm and loving environment to hold a retreat. 

    I was so impressed by the attention to detail and how, while maintaining a professional approach, I was made to feel nurtured and loved. The food was also a highlight for me. 

    So, a great location, fine food and genuine, loving people. There is nothing more required to feel healthy and nourished in every way. 

    Peter

  • I didn't want to leave!

    I felt so nourished and didn't want to leave the tranquil bubble of the retreat. Beautiful venue, great people, delicious healthy meals and two classes of yoga each day - perfect. It was my first yoga retreat, and I absolutely loved it.

    Ali

  • Everything was perfect!

    The retreat was amazing and the venue was perfect and nourishing. I really enjoyed how there were activities but these were at your own free will which created a relaxed flowing atmosphere! The food was incredible and I loved the cooking class! I also loved bushwalking, yoga and people that attended.

    The yoga retreat created a beautiful space for me to connect with like minded people doing what I love. I felt rejuvenated after doing daily yoga and meditation and grateful to have experienced inner peace in this pristine place.
