Yoga for Good Annual Retreat 2025

Yoga For Good Foundation offers an annual retreat; this Spring Equinox, we immerse ourselves in the deep tradition of yoga tantra practice. 

Engage in the art of Yantra to cleanse your mind, body, and spirit for the coming season.  On Sunday, we 'welcome you to country' with yoga, a traditional 'Agni Hotra' fire ceremony, a delicious dinner, and Kirtan mantra singing.  The full retreat is a creativity workshop, a gift of Yantra practice from Rishi Yoga Diwali. Hear some of our Grantee stories, explore yoga asana, and meditate each day.

Swamis Retreat Centre is set in pristine bushland and beautiful gardens in the Sydney hinterland, where Yoga has been practised for over 60 years.  

Retreat facilities include comfortable shared room accommodations with en-suite, as well as Glamping and Camping options.
