retreat review - Byron Bay Beach & Yoga Retreats with Flo Fenton

Flo Fenton has been running retreats for 7 years now, and the experience in working with a diverse range of abilities and personality types really shows. Also apparent is the immersion in yoga as a lifestyle...and some of this dedication and passion is naturally transferred to participants on these retreats.

Flo has a background in healing as well as in yoga, and the style of yoga that she teaches although it can be challenging, is safe and therapeutic. She specialises in making yoga accessible to all, and gives multiple alternatives in each pose, where necessary. Another aspect of Flo's teaching that is uncommon, is that each session flows from meditation, to pranayama, to asana, and back again. Mudras and bandhas are used in each session, and special attention is given to the awareness of the breath in the body. This focus draws participants deep within in a way often never experienced before.

The location is divine; a peaceful, white sand beach, large timber floored cabins...and the food, specially prepared on site by yogic chefs from organic ingredients, is divine! Flo preffers to work in small groups; retreat numbers are typically between 6 and 12 participants. For a truly rewarding experience, join Flo at one of her retreats this year.
