Elements of Yoga - 30th October to 3rd November 2026 (Melbourne Cup Weekend)
In the ancient system of Yoga, we uncover the hidden relationship between mind, body, nature and Soul so that we can live a life in alignment, free from suffering.
During this retreat you will utilise both traditional yogic practices and mindfulness in nature practices to understand yourself according to the yogic framework of 'the Elements.'
These Elements; Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Space, Mind and Soul are what constitute our lived experience, and with the knowledge we will share with you you will be able to make lifestyle adjustments to attain a more harmonious way of being.
For those that have attended the Soul Retreat, this is a great second retreat to explore in a deeper way the knowledge of the chakras and elements, and to set up a clear vision for what a life in balance looks like for you.
For students new to the Ashram, you are welcome to join though we will require you to familiarise yourself with the core Himalayan Meditation practice of the Ashram via our online teachings (we will supply it for free after you book in.)

Driving Instructions
Address: 31 Wartook Rise, Wartook, 3401 Vic
Lodge: Please drive up the driveway, the lodge is 300m and on your left.
Parking: Next to (not in front of) the lodge
Wartook Rise is a signposted dirt road off of the Northern Grampians road between Halls Gap and Horsham.
The route through Ararat to Halls Gap and then Wartook is more scenic but has many bends and avoids some time on the Western Highway, though at dusk and dawn it is advised to keep it to 70km/h because of kangaroos / emus.
Guests wishing to avoid the windy mountain road or in large vehicles are advised to take the route through Stawell and Roses Gap Rd.
