April 16th - 19th 2026
BlueGreen Byron Bay
Join us for a Yoga and Ayurveda Retreat in Byron Bay, NSW, from April 16–19, 2026, hosted by Raewyn Fernandez. This immersive four-day experience blends Yin Yoga, Ayurvedic practices and seasonal living to support nervous system restoration, hormonal balance and deep rest.
Set in the natural beauty of Byron Bay, this retreat is designed for those seeking a genuine reset, away from constant stimulation and toward rhythm, ritual and restoration. Through daily Yin Yoga, guided meditation, self-Abhyanga practice and nourishing Ayurvedic meals, you will reconnect with your body’s natural intelligence.
Led by experienced Ayurvedic practitioner and yoga teacher Raewyn Fernandez, this retreat draws on classical Ayurveda and modern nervous system science. Each day is intentionally structured to calm the stress response, improve digestion, enhance sleep and restore vitality.
Whether you are a yoga teacher, wellness practitioner or simply feeling the weight of modern life, this Byron Bay Yoga and Ayurveda Retreat offers space to pause, recalibrate and return home to yourself.
A Retreat into Stillness
This Byron Bay Yoga and Ayurveda Retreat is an intentional return to stillness... not as escape, but as restoration. In a world that continually asks more of us, stillness becomes medicine.
Across four days in Byron Bay, NSW, you will be guided through daily Yin Yoga practices designed to regulate the nervous system and support deep fascial release. Ayurvedic rituals, including self-Abhyanga (warm herbal oil massage), breathwork and guided meditation, are woven throughout the retreat to restore balance to the body’s natural rhythms.
Ayurveda teaches that vitality is sustained when we align with seasonal cycles, nourish digestion and protect our energy. Throughout this retreat, you will learn practical Ayurvedic principles that you can integrate into everyday life, from simple daily rituals to food practices that calm the stress response and improve sleep.
Each element of this Yoga and Ayurveda Retreat has been curated to create spaciousness: spaciousness in the body, spaciousness in the mind and spaciousness in your schedule. There is no performance here, only presence.
Held in the grounding landscape of Byron Bay, this retreat offers space to recalibrate, reconnect and move forward with clarity and steadiness.
The Sanctuary
Nestled just twelve minutes from Byron Bay, the Blue Green Sanctuary is a handcrafted haven of peace and beauty. Spanning five acres of rolling hills and lake views, the property offers:
-
Three uniquely designed luxury villas, each with its own pool and sunbeds
-
A dedicated yoga shala overlooking lush gardens
-
Open spaces to wander, reflect, and breathe
-
A fire pit for soulful evenings under the stars
Here, time slows. Every corner invites you into ease, creativity, and stillness.
Throughout your stay, you’ll indulge in nourishing wholefood meals prepared on-site with love and seasonal ingredients. Each dish is crafted to support energy, digestion, and balance, aligning with Ayurvedic principles.
Between practices, soak in one of the three pools, wander through nature, journal by the lake, or simply rest. There is ample downtime to integrate, restore, and just be.
"So aptly named, Rae is sunshine in human form. She provides you comfortable nurturing space to express, confide and just be. From yoga, to Ayurvedic treatments and Abhyanga, all practices with Rae are supportive and nourishing. All of this in one place, on the Byron Bay retreat was the ultimate soul filling experience." - Jessica
