Join us for a weekend at the beautiful BMUP festival site located 25 minutes south of Cooktown. The retreat will include a wide range of yoga practices, from gentle stretching to advanced asana, relaxation and meditation sessions led by an experienced team of teachers.

There will be a focus on relaxation and healing for those who are recovering from cyclone Jasper or other life stressors.

Plus fun, heart opening kirtan music in the evening! 

All levels of yoga experience are welcome.

Commences 3pm Friday 30th August with time to set up tents and relax. Wraps up by 3pm Sunday. 

Accommodation Details:

Accommodation at the retreat is “bring-your-own” tent or swag. There are spacious shady campgrounds and a large open shed with kitchen, tables, and lounge area for meals and relaxing. Yoga sessions will be held under a large marquee. There are clean, permanent “longdrop” toilets and hot showers. There is a beautiful rainforest spring for dipping toes and quiet reflection. It is a rustic setting with all the basic necessities- the perfect place to enjoy a weekend of yoga away from the distractions of the world.
