Nature . Movement . Deep Rest
The Retreat Promise
Brought to you by Eco Yoga Retreats and Nurture Health, A Time to Pause is a luxurious women’s wellbeing retreat combining beautiful accommodation, nourishing food, mindful movement, deep rest and evidence-informed health education.
Across four restorative days in the Byron Bay hinterland, you’ll experience Ocean Flow™, Yin and Cranial work, chef-prepared meals, nature walks, women’s wellness workshops and time to unwind by the pools, sauna, ice bath and fire pit.
This is your opportunity to step away from everyday life, reconnect with yourself and explore practical ways to support your health, energy and longevity.
Who This Is For
For women seeking time to pause, restore and invest in their wellbeing. Whether you’re moving through a period of change, interested in ageing well or simply craving space to reconnect, the retreat offers a supportive blend of rest, movement and practical health education.
No yoga experience is required—only a willingness to slow down and enjoy a few beautiful days dedicated to yourself.

Daily Rhythm
Each day follows a spacious, unhurried rhythm.
Most mornings begin with Ocean Flow at 7am, followed by a nourishing breakfast. From there, you might set out on a beautiful hinterland hike, relax by the pool or move between the sauna and ice bath at your own pace.
One day will be dedicated to evidence-informed women’s wellness workshops, offering practical knowledge to support your health beyond the retreat.
Afternoons soften into deeply restorative Yin and Cranial work, followed by dinner at 6:30pm. As evening falls, we’ll gather around the fire pit—or simply enjoy the freedom to rest, connect and be.

Guests stay across three distinctive residences—The Loft, The House and The Villa—with eight individually styled rooms. A fully equipped yoga shala, sauna, ice bath, spa bungalow, teepee and fire pit create the perfect environment to slow down, reconnect and experience deep rest and transformation.
