Experience transformation while exploring your essence in the tropical nature of Mission Beach.
Experience transformation while exploring your essence in the tropical nature of Mission Beach.
Deep in the coastal Nature Refuge rainforest of Northern Queensland, a sanctuary awaits us. Surrounded by the rich smells and bright colors of the rainforest, and overlooking some of the most beautiful tropical beaches in Australia, we enter into sacred communication with ourselves, carried on the smooth vibrations of healing sound, soothing poetry and liberating support from Facilitators Jiya and Mindi.
Based on a strong foundation of alignment, we will use our physical practice to explore the relationship of the body to the mind and the soul, bringing wisdom and light to our life journey and finding the greater alignment that comes from self-realization. At the same time, drawing on the powerful presence of nature in this space, we will journey through three cycles and three levels of experience, first unlocking and bringing light to the shadow sides of our being before transforming them into tools for personal power and purpose.

This training holds the intention to empower each participant, through exploration of the threads that run through our lives and the intuition that drives us. No matter what world we live in or what our background and belief system is, we all have the ability to step into our own power and purpose and make a change in this world. Through exploration of sacred creativity, holistic healing, and transformation of the veils that often hold us back from our passions, we will use our safe and sacred community space to explore what it takes to believe in ourselves enough to bring our unique creative expression to this ancient practice. In this way, the intention of our Australia YTT is not only to share what it takes to become a yoga teacher, but to offer the tools to become a teacher that shines out from the rest.

About Mission Beach...
Mission Beach is one of the only two places in Australia that offers both World Heritage listed rainforest and Great Barrier Reef in the one area. With little commercial development and just a small permanent population scattered over 23 km’s of rainforest-fringed beaches, Mission Beach is a paradise waiting to be discovered. |

What you'll love about the Sanctuary...
|
Sanctuary has been both sustainably built as well as designed to make the best use of the fantastic natural environment, so that guests can feel at one with nature at the same time as feeling nurtured in comfort and style.
The purpose-built yoga room with its polished timber floors, exposed beams and high ceilings combine to provide a wonderful space for yoga asanas, pranayama and meditation to the natural rhythm of the forest. Sanctuary cuisine offers the most gourmet of vegetarian options to suit all tastes, specializing in locally grown fresh foods and excellent coffee to satisfy your base desires. Our yogic menu will be well balanced and delicious, with plenty of fresh, vibrant vegetables and salads and nourishing options, plus an occasional rich and raw dessert to maintain the balance! |

Conservation at the Sanctuary...
Designed to minimally impact on the surrounding rainforest, Sanctuary Retreat provides a haven for the traveller as well as the native wildlife. As a registered Nature Refuge, you can be confident that by visiting Sanctuary, you are not only experiencing a rare insight into the ecology of tropical rainforests, but also making an active contribution to nature conservation. In addition, as part of the Kula Collective YTT and our Kula Karma project, our group will be offering our time and energy towards preserving the natural environment and the unique wildlife that it offers. Through the unique use of a Conservation Agreement over 95% of the land area, Sanctuary ensures the long-term preservation of a natural resource that would otherwise have been lost to more conventional land uses. Tropical rainforest covers less than 0.1% of the Australian land mass and, though protected in National Parks, still continues to be cleared on private lands.
