The Best Yoga Retreats in Victoria to Soothe the Soul

Take a moment to imagine yourself away from the daily grind and far from the constant stimulations of everyday life, connected to your mind and body through breath and movement, completely immersed in nature. Sounds like a dream, right?

Most of us know that self-care is essential for our happiness and well-being, yet we rarely give ourselves a chance to pause and do what’s best for our mind, body, and soul. So, whether it's the start of the new year or a simple yearning to re-centre yourself, booking a retreat with yoga classes, breathwork and nutritious meals might be just what the doctor ordered.

Stretch out, relax and take a deep breath – the best yoga retreats in Victoria are guaranteed to help you find your happy place.

Little Farm of Calm

Discover an unpretentious and inviting wellness sanctuary at the Little Farm of Calm in Benalla, Victoria. This serene retreat invites you to try new things, immerse yourself in nature, and indulge in rejuvenating treatments.

Across a weekend retreat shared with like-minded individuals, you'll experience yoga, Pilates, and holistic health practices designed to revitalise your mind, body, and spirit.  That could mean aerial yin yoga, paddleboard yoga, hot yoga, and even myofascial release workshops. You can also engage in self-defence and wildlife rescue workshops, reformer Pilates, guided bike tours, flotation and red light therapy.

A stay you can feel even better about, with each stay supporting the Little Farm of Calm Wildlife Shelter, dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and release of native Australian wildlife.

Mat & Table

A wholesome getaway for yoga, food and wine lovers, Mat & Table is a refreshing and joyful take on a wellness experience.

It's a chance to escape the city, practice with qualified yoga teachers and enjoy delicious local food and wine in charming, destination towns within driving distance of Melbourne. They select unique and gorgeous accommodations with plenty of space for personal time and connecting with others. Just bring your mat - they'll set the table!
