In conjunction with the Australian College of Classical Yoga we hold one day retreats, weekend retreats and week-long retreats.
These are a great opportunity to explore and deepen your practice on and off the mat, and take time out from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
One day retreats
Sunday Mar 1 | All is Consciousness - There is only Shiva

Sunday June 14 | Vicāra: Self – Investigation
More information [pdf]
Patanjali reminds us that thoughts are only neurons flashing off, and they cannot give us an experience of reality. And yet, we totally feel the effects of our thoughts, we relate to each other through our thoughts and feelings.
Supposing it were possible to make ourselves more conscious of the effects of our thoughts and feelings, and to live with full awareness? Fully aware both of the personal impact of our thinking processes, and also of the fact that thoughts do not encompass reality? How would you experience yourself then, and how would others experience you?
Our investigation will be modelled on the Shiva Process developed by Swami Shankarananda. Many have learnt to connect their head with their heart through this process, and have become able to communicate without fear, to speak the truth without harming the person spoken to. Swami Shankarananda is also Mataji’s guru.
The day includes
- Self-Investigation (Vicāra)
- Asana – the healthy movements of Yoga
- Meditation – stillness of mind
and is YTAA approved for 8 points of CPD for Yoga teachers
The program will be led by Swami Shantananda (Mataji) and Ma Sally Dawson
Fee: $135 (includes complimentary breakfast) BYO lunch
