Retreat to the rugged beauty of the Kimberley and explore Australia's untouched coastal wilderness staying 5 nights / 6 days at the luxurious award winning Eco Beach Wilderness Resort located 90 minutes south of Broome on the pristine isolated beaches of north Western Australia. This is a fantastic opportunity to deepen your practice with Australian Yoga Retreats own Nicole Kelly in a place of solitude and dramatic beauty. It is a special retreat for all students who wish to explore yoga at greater depth.

Wake to the sound of the Indian Ocean rolling in on untouched beach, walk the coast or swim the warm turquoise waters before a freshly squeezed juice and morning yoga asana session. Enjoy twice daily extended yoga sessions in the morning and afternoon. Explore and develop your knowledge of yoga with Nicole at an intermediate/advanced level, and learn from one who has walked the yoga path for many years.

We dine on gourmet meals, healthy and delicious with lots of options available from the Eco Beach Restaurant.

Siesta in the early afternoon or choose guided beach and nature walks exploring cultural insights to the Kimberley under open blue sky. Sea kayak exploring islands, stroll sandy beaches or wander impressive caves carved by the ocean. Watch turtle, marine and bird life in their natural habitat. Rejuvenate with a massage. Or simply laze in the sun by the pool or beach. July is the perfect time to visit Eco Beach and escape the East Coast winter for the warmth of north Western Australia.

Reconvene for afternoon yoga sessions exploring asana, pranayama and meditation with your heart warmed by the sun and wonder of this ancient land, before dinner and peaceful nights sleep under the stars. Sleep in luxurious Eco Tents, literal five star hotel rooms with the softest environmental footprint, or upgrade to an Eco Villa, the choice is yours.
