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, built overlooking the creek ,so you get to practice with the soothing sounds of running water, surrounded by lush nature and an extra indoor space for a more cosy practice in case of rain, which used for any healing treatments you may decide to treat yourself to.

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 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 your family, the rest of the world and all living beings,
We shall start every day with self care, meditation and gratitude practice, before flowing in to our morning, Yoga practice for the grown ups, whilst the children are entertained by two nannies. This will then be 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.
This shall all be complimented by daily meditation, exploring different practices such as sound healing, breath work and mantra!
For the kids there will also be two Yoga classes with live music and story telling and an exciting treasure hunt!
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, 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!).
