Explore the Elements of your Life Energy

The Power of Chi Retreat in Byron Bay

Our transformative escapes seamlessly blend energising and relaxing yoga practices with Breathwork, cooking classes, and nourishing whole foods. By the end of the retreat, you’ll be feeling rejuvenated, aligned, and equipped with practical tools to live your life with purpose, authenticity, optimal health and harmony within.

Our wellness philosophy integrates five elements of optimal health, focusing on how you breathe, move, nourish, relax, and align your body with intention, purpose, and conscious actions every day.

Breathe with more Energy Awareness

Step into a realm where the digital world recedes, allowing you to experience the full potential of your breath by combining restorative practices like coherent breathing and Qi Gong with transformative Breathwork techniques.

Together, we’ll cultivate your Chi, or life energy, which serves as the foundation for all other practices, supporting your personal exploration through Yoga, Mindfulness, and daily life.

Move your body with Mindful Yoga Practices

Each day begins with an energising yang yoga practice and finishes with a calming yin yoga to restore balance and harmony in your nervous system, mind, and body.

By moving consciously with your breath, you’ll develop a deeper connection to your energy, for both physical and emotional resilience. Our practices are suitable for everyone, with a focus on how your body can be—not just what it can do.

Nourish your body with Healing Whole Foods

Wholefoods are more than just nourishment; they carry energy and offer deeper nutritional value that impacts our gut health, microbiome, skin quality, and energy levels.

During the retreat, we dive into the healing power of food, where you’ll learn to create vibrant, life-enhancing meals that fuel your vitality, both inside and out, providing lasting nourishment without the fuss of counting calories.

Relax your body with Intentional Recovery

In a world that constantly pushes us toward busyness, relaxation is a forgotten superpower and often overlooked tool for success.

At our retreat, you’ll shift gears and discover the art of conscious relaxation—an essential practice for reducing stress and enhancing overall well-being. Surrounded by luxury and nature, you’ll learn simple techniques to effortlessly bring relaxation into your daily life.

Align your mind with Purposeful Actions

Are you living in alignment with your higher purpose? When we’re in flow with life’s natural rhythm, we experience ease. When out of alignment, stress, frustration, and even disease can arise.

Through Dharma talks, journal processing, and integrative psychology, we’ll guide you to uncover the steps necessary to live in alignment with abundance, purpose and a passion for life.

Step Into a Sanctuary of Serenity

Blue Green Sanctuary is a hidden gem in the Byron Bay Hinterland, set on 5 acres of lush, fertile land surrounded by rolling hills and macadamia groves.

The sanctuary’s unique design blends seamlessly with the tropical surroundings, featuring three distinctive dwellings with massive timber beams, expansive open fireplaces, and sandstone accents—perfectly complementing the infinity pools and panoramic views.

Experience the Ultimate Relaxation

At the heart of this serene retreat is an open-air yoga studio offering sweeping views of the property. Alongside, you’ll find an infrared sauna, a cold therapy pool, and an outdoor shower to refresh and rejuvenate.

For ultimate relaxation, indulge in a waterside massage shala, where you can unwind among lotus flowers and the calming sounds of local birdlife.
