The YinSide Retreat 2026
Return to Your Rhythm ~
Come Home to Your Beat
BOWRAL, BASE MT GIBRALTAR, SOUTHERN HIGHLANDS, NSW
Friday 20th ~ Sunday 22nd March 2026
A women's only yoga retreat of connection, movement & deep nourishment.
There is a rhythm within each of us.
A quiet beat beneath the busyness. A steady pulse waiting to be heard again.
As women, it’s easy to fall out of sync with our own tempo, giving, doing, and moving to the pace of everyone else.
This weekend invites you to gently come back to yourself.
Return to Your Rhythm is a curated weekend retreat where you’ll reconnect through yoga, sound, rest, movement, and deeply nourishing love infused meals, all held in the arms of nature.
The Rhythm of You
Return to Your Rhythm invites you to reconnect with your inner pulse.
You’ll be guided by Shell and Linda, two experienced, hands-on yoga teachers who create space for both presence and transformation. From grounding Yin to flowing Vinyasa, breathwork to Yoga Nidra, drumming session to nature-based mindfulness walks, each moment is an invitation back to you, to soften, and return to the steady rhythm within.
Nourish Your Body and Soul
And the food? It’s a story in every bite.
Our retreat will be deeply nourished by the culinary talents of NJ Lim, a professional chef
whose passion for global flavours meets heartfelt intention in every meal. With nearly two decades
immersed in Australia’s vibrant, multicultural food scene and experience in some of Sydney’s most elite private catering circles, NJ brings a rare depth and artistry to vegetarian cuisine.
Her philosophy is simple yet soulful:
to create food experiences that bring the world to your plate and become a story to remember.
Throughout the weekend, you’ll savour nourishing, seasonal meals infused with autumnal abundance and global inspiration. Each meal lovingly prepared to support your body, soothe your nervous system, and awaken your senses. Herbal teas, cozy corners, and thoughtfully plated dishes all become part of your retreat rhythm, comforting, restoring,
and deeply satisfying.
Connect and Reflect
Surrounded by a like-minded community, you'll be gently held in a space where stories are shared, hearts are heard, and insights unfold. This retreat invites you to find your pulse, reflect on your personal journey, and reconnect with what truly matters. With support and spaciousness, you’ll leave feeling nourished, inspired, and ready to carry your intentions forward.
Transform Your Autumn with Us
So let the world of doing for everyone else fade for a little while.
Let your breath return to its own rhythm. Let yourself feel held.
