Why choose Kookaburra Yoga?

Carefully planned, professionally organised, facilitated by teachers with decades of yoga and life experience.

When it comes to booking a yoga or spiritual retreat, both quality and experience matter. Retreats can be a profound opportunity for relaxation, to deepen your knowledge, gain perspective, and for personal growth - depending on your personal goal and the environment created for you on retreat.

​Yoga was traditionally practiced in the ashrams of India under the guidance of a Guru - away from distractions and outside influence. On our retreats we leave behind all those concerns and distractions to deeply and profoundly realise the spiritual and material benefits of yoga, returning to our lives with renewed energy and focus.

Kookaburra Yoga Retreats are hosted by Mandy BeckerKnox and Robert Becker have spent extended periods of time in traditional ashrams and centres to intensively study and practice yogic disciplines. They draw on their personal experience and extensive knowledge to create meaningful retreat experiences for participants.
​
​To an extent Kookaburra Retreats replicate the ashram concept and environment - even on our 1 day retreats - creating a contained, safe space where seekers can forget everything for a period of time to get some reprieve from the relentless stress and stimuli of modern life.​

Kookaburra Retreats have their basis in traditional yoga yet also draw on contemporary yoga methodology and expectations to ensure it is an enjoyable and enriching experience.

Spending time in distant destinations which are beautiful and unfamiliar and take in sublime and spiritual sites imprint upon your mind and soul creating new neural pathways into your future, changing thoughts, changing habits. Respectfully exploring new landscapes and cultures opens our minds and hearts to love and accept the diversity of the world and her people.

At its heart, yoga is a spiritual practice leading the sincere practitioner through a series of realisations about the true nature of the human mind, condition and soul - leading towards permanent peace and liberation of the soul.

​Now, more than ever, there is a need to rediscover the true essence and purpose of traditional yoga.

We hope you enjoy exploring the upcoming Kookaburra Yoga Retreats which we are privileged to host at home and in some of the world's most spiritual landscapes.
