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 one family in our sumptuous bell tents, which we have decorated with an eye for serious comfort with comfy mattresses, rugs, cushions, doonas and more.
These bell tents are made specifically for the Australian climate from heavy duty fabric and are fully sealed to keep out any critters. You can keep the entrance open whilst still enjoying the fresh air by closing up the mosquito mesh.
We have clean, shared bathroom facilities on site, very close to the tents and a support space with waters, teas and fresh fruits.
We have the luxury of our beautiful Yoga shala on site with views to the animals paddocks.

activities
This retreat is all about bonding as a family, spending quality time away from distractions and cell phones, connecting to nature, yourselves each other and animals.
We are excited to provide a beautiful opportunity for families to connect, share Yoga and meditation as a family and teach children to become passionate future earth warriors.
In this retreat, you truly get to live your Yoga. Starting with loving and nourishing yourself and then extending that love to your family, the rest of the world and all living beings.
We shall start every day with a adults Yoga (where the children will be cared for in a set up area) and meditation session, followed by a yummy breakfast.
During our time together we shall offer a workshop in raw cake making for the whole family, learning how to create healthy yet nourishing treats that the kids will love, using plant based, high vibrational and nutritional ingredients.
For the kids there will a Yoga class with live music and story telling, an exciting nature forage and giant mandala making using objects we find in nature.
We shall also spend a morning planting trees together to restore precious wildlife corridors and grow eucalyptus trees for our beloved local koalas to be able to survive and thrive. This is a great opportunity for children to understand the importance of protecting nature and our diverse eco systems.
We will be treated to a SUP (stand up paddle) or kayak adventure at our secret rainforest spot!
The icing on the cake will be our night of live mantra music with our very own acclaimed and award winning musician Edo Kahn which the whole family are sure to love!
In addition we shall also enjoy getting to know our adorable animals, picking veggies and possibly swimming in the creek!
