21 Day 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training Course in New South Wales, Australia
Wallum Cottages, Crescent Head, New South Wales 2440, Australia
Wild Self Australia Yoga Teacher Training
Expert tip: This is one of the most popular yoga retreats offered in Australia.
Based on a practical curriculum that approaches yoga systematically, we believe in creating strong foundations for teaching safely and authentically. Drawing from traditional Hatha and Vinyasa yoga, we will be exploring yoga as a holistic approach - combining traditional teachings with modern science. Moving beyond asana into the further realms of philosophy, pranayama, meditation, and more, students will be held in a supportive learning environment in the comfort of our own secluded retreat space.

Just out of town in the National Park is Wallum Cottages, your home for the training. A family run venue set on 70 acres of native bushland just a short stroll from the ocean, this coastal oasis provides the perfect balance of privacy and accessibility to a number of unspoilt empty beaches.
During the training, you'll enjoy use of the self-contained cabins spread throughout the property. Creating a sense of privacy, but also community, in a tranquil and nourishing atmosphere to facilitate the journey. With limited capacity and small group sizes, there will be plenty of space to absorb and reflect.
You'll be transforming the venue into your own private yoga centre, enjoying shared meals in the cosy cabins and nights out by the fire under the stars.
The area is yours to explore during free time, a visit to town, a bush walk, surf or swim at the beach just a moment away.
You will be sharing with 2-3 other yoga students per room and sharing a bathroom.
