RETURNING  A Weekend of Traditional Yoga, Philosophy, and Ashram Living with Amy McDonald

Join me for a weekend of traditional Yoga practice, philosophy, mythology, meditation, community, and immersion in the peaceful rhythm of ashram life.
Nestled amongst the beautiful bushland of the Wombat Forest, Rocklyn Ashram has been a place of yogic practice and spiritual community for decades. For one weekend, we'll step away from the demands of everyday life and experience a slower, simpler, more intentional way of being.
This retreat has been created especially for yoga teachers and dedicated students who are craving depth in their practice and a chance to reconnect with the heart of Yoga.
Over the weekend we'll enjoy:
🧘 Traditional hatha yoga practices
🌿 Meditation and pranayama
📖 Yoga philosophy and mythology teachings with Amy
🥗 Nourishing vegetarian meals
🍃 Time in nature and the peaceful surroundings of the ashram
☕ Meaningful conversations and connection with like-minded practitioners
🕉️ Optional participation in morning chanting and the Saturday evening kirtan
💤 Rest, reflection, and spaciousness
One of the unique aspects of this retreat is the opportunity to experience life in a traditional yoga ashram. The gentle rhythm of the day is supported by the ashram environment itself, where a bell signals meditation, meals, practice, and rest. Rather than managing schedules, making decisions, and holding everything together, you'll have the opportunity to simply follow the flow of the day and return to the role of student.
This retreat is not about luxury.
It's about practice.
It's about having enough time to go beyond a quick weekly class and into the deeper layers of Yoga through longer practices, self-inquiry, philosophy, discussion, and genuine immersion.
Whether you're a yoga teacher looking to reconnect with your own practice or a dedicated student wanting to explore Yoga more deeply, this weekend offers a rare opportunity to experience Yoga as a lived tradition.
