Heart & Soul Retreats - Royal National Park, Sydney

Nestled into the hills bordering the Royal National Park, Heart & Soul Retreats is perfectly located for those wishing to take a step back from their busy lives and reconnect with themselves amongst the beauty of nature. Guests can explore the surrounding pristine forests, hike across the steep sea cliffs, swim at the local beaches, and observe an abundance of native wildlife.

As a long-established yoga retreat centre, Heart & Soul operates on the practice of yoga-seva – or voluntary service – with people coming together to collaborate and create a nurturing and nourishing yogic community. Offering wellness getaways all year round, the community facilitates restorative healing, supporting guests to access a higher level of self-awareness and personal alignment.

Each retreat experience includes indulgent vegan meals (nourishing the body and soul in accordance with Ayurvedic teachings), yoga classes, philosophy discussions, wellness and health-based workshops, and singing meditation circles – all of which are optional. They also have a range of accommodation options to suit everyone, from triple share rooms to queen and twin rooms.

As a yogic community, Heart & Soul is home to a group of experienced yoga teachers. Their individual styles vary, but the overarching theme is one of balance, relaxation, and alignment of body, mind, and soul. Classes generally cater to beginners but the teachers can give options for intermediate and advanced students.

In addition, Heart & Soul hosts inspiring health, wellness, and philosophy workshops daily. The facilitators offer a variety of topics – from sound and vibrational healing and mindfulness practices, to Vedic Astrology and creative expression. These workshops support guests to learn new skills, look at life from a different angle, and gain a fresh perspective

Join Heart & Soul Retreats for a relaxing weekend, a rejuvenating week away, or a month-long lifestyle reset.
