Men’s Retreat Overview
This Movember, join us for a special Men’s Wellness Retreat at Byron Yoga Centre, where we focus on building strength from the inside out. Whether you’re new to yoga or looking to deepen your practice, this retreat is designed for all men who want to reconnect with their well-being, while supporting an important cause.
Movember is about more than just growing a moustache—it’s about supporting men’s health, both physical and mental.
The 3 day retreat offers a flexible program of yoga classes, mindfulness sessions, sharing circles, meditation, guided bushwalk and ocean swim. The perfect blend of selfdiscovery, relaxation, and connection – an opportunity to recharge and emerge stronger in mind, body, and spirit. Indulge your senses in our nutritionally-balanced, delicious vegetarian menu, straight from our organic garden.
20% of each booking will go directly to Movember, helping to fund projects supporting mental health, suicide prevention, and prostate and testicular cancer research. Read more about Movember here.
Join a brotherhood of like-minded men as you foster connections amidst the beauty of Byron Bay – walking together towards greater physical strength, flexibility, mental resilience and mutual understanding.
Take this time for yourself, focus on your well-being, and join a community of men who are striving for more balance in life. Together, we can make a difference—for ourselves and for men everywhere.

* Daily program may vary slightly
The yoga is a system we call Purna, a traditional hatha style with an emphasis on correct alignment and intelligent sequencing. Purna translates as complete or whole and this is reflected in the premise that we teach not just the physical postures but also an integrated approach with breath awareness (pranayama), meditation and philosophy. With the Purna system students can work at their own level, options are given for variations and modifications allowing for beginners to practice alongside experienced students.
