your hosts
Emily and Edo are the custodians of beautiful Bodhi Glow farm sanctuary, a place of complete ahimsa (non violence) and brimming with natural beauty and resources.
Both are qualified Yoga teachers and have a combined 16 years of experience in leading retreats, workshops and trainings internationally.
Emily has not only undertaken multiple Yoga trainings, but has also taught on Yoga teacher trainings in Bali. She set up two successful companies of her own. In one, she was one of the very first teachers outside America, offering classes in SUP Yoga (yoga out at sea on a paddle board) and in the other she specialised in hugely popular family friendly Yoga retreats, mainly in Sri Lanka.
Edo is a Yogi, acclaimed, award winning musician and sound healing specialist. He has taught on multiple retreats and trainings and played at multiple live music events and festivals. He also co-founded the amazing charity 'A Sound Life', which offers free Yoga, music and meditation to those in need.
They are both committed to compassionate and healthy living and are excited to join forces to offer a retreat experience full of integrity and love.

Accommodation
Your home from home on this retreat will be our farm sanctuary in Byronshire, NSW.
Nestled in rolling hills and rainforest, you will be treated to the sights and sounds of pure lush nature, with creeks, swimming holes, wallabies, exotic birds and crisp, clean air.
Accommodation will be either a triple share in our beautiful bell tents, or triple share in our sweet little cottage. Both options are charming, clean and comfortable. In the cottage two people will sleep in the bedroom area and an extra person will be in the living area. The cottage has its own kitchen, wood burning stove, AC and a shared bathroom.
The bell tents will be decorated with an eye for comfort with mattresses, doonas, rugs and cushions. There is one external bathroom to share for the people in the bell tents ie one bathroom for up to six people to share.
We have the luxury of our Yoga shala on site, created with wooden floors and views up to our veggie patch and cow paddock.

activities
This retreat is all about connecting to nature, yourselves and animals.
We believe at Bodhi Glow Farm in treading softly on our precious earth and instead of asking what can our earth give us to us, asking what can we give to our earth.
We wish to see our circle of compassion extending to all of life and all of nature and wish for our beloved farm to be a template of this, so we are excited to share our offerings and learnings with you.
In this retreat, you truly get to live your Yoga. Starting with loving and nourishing yourself and then extending that love to the rest of the world and all living beings.
We shall start every day with self care, meditation and gratitude work, before flowing in to our morning, Yoga practice. This will then be followed by a yummy breakfast.
During our time together we shall offer a workshop in raw cake making, learning how to create visually stunning, delicious raw desserts using plant based, high vibrational and nutritional ingredients.
We shall also have the exciting opportunity to experience SUP Yoga, where we swap our mats for a paddle board, taking our practice out to the creek surrounded by rainforest!
This shall all be complimented by daily meditation, exploring different practices such as sound healing, breath work and mantra!
The icing on the cake will be our night of live mantra music with our very own acclaimed and award winning musician Edo Kahn!
In addition we shall also enjoy getting to know our adorable animals, picking veggies, swimming in the creek and perhaps a healing/massage treatment with one of our recommended therapists (subject to availability, book in advance to avoid disappointment!).
