Gitananda Southern Retreat
Ashram Residential Program
Fri 9th- Sunday 11th October Point Lonsdale
$220
​
We warmly invite you to join us for this year's Southern Retreat, being held from Friday afternoon, October 9th, through to after lunch on Sunday, October 11th, in the beautiful surrounds of Point Lonsdale.
​
This retreat offers an opportunity to come together in Sadhana — a time of practice, learning, connection, and community. With a blend of Hatha Yoga, Pranayama, Jnana Yoga Kriyas, shared meals, and time to simply be together, we look forward to creating a fruitful and nourishing weekend as a Sangha with a variety of teachers.
​
For those interested in developing their teaching, there is a wonderful opportunity for mentorship with Niraimathi. This includes guidance before and after your chosen session, support in preparing a session plan, and the opportunity to receive feedback and refinement.
Â
Teaching a session, by undertaking the mentorship offering, comes with the added bonus of a reducing your Retreat rate to $180. Sessions can be chosen from Hatha Yoga, Pranayama, or Jnana Yoga Kriyas. Simply connect with Niraimathi to discuss which session you would like to offer, prepare your session plan, and receive guidance throughout the process.
​
There are a limited number of beds available for anyone requiring accommodation, so please register your interest early. We look forward to this special time together — deepening our practice, connecting with each other, and sharing a fruitful Sadhana.
​
More information to come......
After a successful program in 2025, Yogacharini Niraimathi will return with another group in 2028. This 12-day residential program is an opportunity to experience a Yoga Life at the Source!
From morning Hatha Practice on the roof terrace, mid morning Pranayama sessions, Satsangha with Dr Ananda and delicious vegetarian meals, your time at the Ashram will allow you to immerse in the depths of this ancient tradition.

A limit of 15 students will be accepted.
You will be guided by Progam Teacher, Niraimathi and Program Assistant Bernadette as you are steeped in the Yogic and Cultural aspects of the Gitananda lineage.
