Join Jessie Chapman & facilitators in beautiful Byron Bay this NYE for an inspirational yoga retreat to welcome the year feeling relaxed, healthy and inspired. With twice daily yoga, beach walks, great food and a lovely ocean views setting with pool and spa treatments available, this all-inclusive yoga holiday will have you looking and feeling radiant.

During the day there's plenty of time to relax around the freshwater pool, bathe in the healing ocean, receive in-house holistic spa treatments, catch up on some reading and simply relax. There're walking trails on the property and you can also walk to Byron Bay and the beaches.

We stay 6 nights at Sangsurya Retreat, a beautiful 10 acre property 3 minutes drive from Byron Bay and the stunning beaches. It features a large wooden floor yoga space, a freshwater swimming pool with coastal views and a lovely restaurant and lounge area. Accommodation is in earthy hand built houses and cabins each with their own ensuite bathroom.

Morning yoga is taught in the Vinyasa flow style suitable for beginners to general level practitioners. Afternoon classes are deep restoration and relaxation yoga including meditation and focus on deep full breathing. Other yoga classes include core strength sessions and evening yoganidra (lying down guided relaxation). There's yoga assistants helping to give personal adjustments and instruction in the classes and special attention is given to beginners.

Other classes on the rereat include nutrition and healthy lifestyle talks, yogadance and a special NYE vision quest. We'll also be taking some beach walks to some of the best spots in the bay and on new years day we'll catch the first light on the beach and greet the new day with yoga and a morning swim.
