THE BYRON RETREAT 2026:
~ spring reset ~
hatha yoga | ayurveda| deep rest
Step away from the noise of daily life and reconnect to simpler, more supportive ways of living through yoga, nourishing food, nature, and intentional daily practices.
Through the wisdom of yoga and Ayurveda, we'll explore how small, sustainable changes to our daily rhythms can help us feel more balanced, clear, and connected, both on retreat and in the way we return to everyday life afterwards.
Over four restful days in the Byron Bay hinterland, this retreat offers space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and reset through Hatha Yoga, nourishing food, nature, deep rest, and intentional daily practices.
Inspired by the principles of Ayurveda, we’ll explore simple and practical ways to create greater balance and wellbeing in everyday life: helping you return home with supportive tools you can continue long after the retreat ends.
Held in a peaceful sanctuary surrounded by nature, this experience invites you to step away from the overstimulation of modern life and reconnect to what is supportive, meaningful, and sustainable.
We have a selection of stunning twin share rooms available, with limited private options, please see ‘Investment’ below for more.
To secure your place, please submit your Expression of Interest below. Your deposit secures your room on the retreat.
Spaces are intentionally limited to support the quality and intimacy of the experience.
We can’t wait to share this special few days with you in the Byron Bay Hinterland.
With love, The Dharma House family.

YOUR RETREAT LEADERS
This retreat is held by me, Aimee, founder of The Dharma House, alongside Melissa, my incredible assistant studio manager.
We are PASSIONATE about bringing groups of like-hearted people together, and we believe (and see first hand) how growth and healing come as a package: and walking that path alongside others is so powerful. Remembering ‘who you are’ at a soul-level is important for anyone wanting to live a joyful and aligned life; and we are passionate about sharing traditional paths that support that journey.
Together we blend depth of teaching with grounded structure; bringing a balance of fire and water, strength and devotion, to way we facilitate and hold space. We make a great team!
We share a clear intention to offer traditional practices in a way that is accessible, relevant, and reverent. We are both very much committed to our own personal practices: we share and teach from that place, so what you’ll get from us is lived and embodied, more like ‘transmission’ than creativity.
Together we’ve co-led several successful international retreats previously, and we come together to hold a space that is steady, real, and supportive for people to reconnect, grow, and remember who they are (…it’s our dharma!).
Thank you for being here with us.

Testimonials
-
"I attended the Bali Retreat with The Dharma House in May 2025. Although, I have never travelled overseas, I had complete faith in Aimee and Melissa and trusted that it would be a safe and memorable experience. The Shala was an amazing environment to relax and reconnect with myself and meet like minded people. All the activities were well planned and within everyone’s comfort zone, we were encouraged to honour ourselves and our capabilities. There was much laughter and joy, connection and love shared, friends were made. I highly recommend joining any Retreat which Aimee and Melissa plan, you will not be disappointed."

"One of the definite highlights for me was the yoga, learning from Aimee and soaking in all her knowledge and experience was such a gift. I also absolutely loved the water temple ceremony, the mala bead ritual, and the meditation. But the biggest highlight? Being immersed in the lush Ubud jungle at the most exquisite venue, The Shala. I truly indulged in nourishing spa treatments, soul-nourishing food, and the beauty of slowing down. Most of all, I’m so grateful to have shared this experience with my soul sister and other beautiful souls I met on retreat."

I felt that the yoga/meditation offerings were so lovely - well timed and beautifully taught. I took a lot away from the Dharma talk and Ayurveda workshop (so great to have bring new rituals home with me). I really enjoyed the mala bead workshop, especially spending time chatting to others and making something special to take home. The fire ritual was a great insight into Balinese culture. I feel really grateful for the care and patience shown by Aimee, Melissa and The Shala staff.

My highlights? Spending quality time with my friend. Seeing Bali for the first time. Having time to unwind and strengthening my connection to yoga/meditation. Learning more about ayurveda and making mala beads. Eating delicious and nutritious food. Swimming! And soooo many massages!
