Welcome to CY Yoga and Meditation Retreat, June 2026. Our 2022, 2023, and 2024 retreats were sold out. We’re looking forward to another wonderful experience so book in soon! If you’re new to Centenary Yoga retreats, feel free to call with any Questions!

Take this opportunity to Escape Busy Brissy or Go-Go Gold Coast into the tranquil forest of Springbrook (Gold Coast Hinterland) for a weekend of tranquility, Yoga, nature, meditation and wonderful food.

Allow yourself to be nurtured & taken care of with amazing food, the silence and beauty of nature a  beautiful group of like-minded people.

Yes, there is a full program of Yoga, healing and meditation: choose your level of engagement. We’ve developed a busy winter program so you are able to drop in and out of sessions and take what you need from the program: you can:

• participate in all scheduled activities,
• simply give yourself some well-deserved space, silence, and “me-time,”
• completely Rest and participate in a few activities & eat very well, or
• any combination which suits your definition of ‘Retreat’.

Switch off your devices

Step away from the busy-ness of life

Melt into the simplicity of simply Being – with your body and your breath, nature and other beautiful people.

Re-discover a deep connection to your body, your heart and nature

Be nourished by a private cook who will absolutely spoil you

Be surrounded by beautiful, tranquil surrounds to retreat into; including a towering waterfall with views to the horizon

Practise as much or as little Yoga as you like, enjoy beautiful vegetarian food, indulge in a massage, come into your quiet and allow yourself to gently unwind. Turn off your devices and step away from caring for everyone else, for some much needed ‘me time’.  Centenary Yoga will be hosting our fifth retreat for our community and friends in a beautiful, natural space which is already very familiar to many of you.

 Location

One of the reasons guests return year after year is the location; to be surrounded by towering ancient trees and only the sounds of crickets and birds. The Mountain and old growth forest is such a powerful healer in a world where you are often disconnected from nature in your day-to-day lives. Pademelon wallabies are often spotted at dawn/dusk and sometimes during the day.
