WHY A TEACHER'S RETREAT?
Our teachers' retreats are an offering toward the personal and professional development of a heartfelt and intimate community yoga teachers. We offer support, deep listening, meaningful conversations and experienced guidance in helping you reach your full potential as a teacher. These weekend retreats will nourish your deepest path in teaching yoga and in life, and help steer you in a direction to discover your highest possibilities.
Our teachers' retreats are an opportunity to step outside of your daily routine and into a supportive network of like-minded teachers who are sincere about digging in deep and cultivating self-enquiry, sharing, learning, and choosing to grown into authentic teaching. There is nothing better than sitting in one another's company, being present and holding space for one another to grow. Coming together as teachers offers a level of support and empowerment that can be lost through the busyness of life and teaching multitudes of classes.
THE PROCESS
Daily yoga and meditation practice - It’s not unusual that teachers to find it challenging to maintain their own personal practice while keeping a busy teaching schedule. It is vital that teachers honour their self-practice as a time to recharge, nourish their own growth, and develop the clarity to offer yoga from their personal experience with integrity. This retreat is a gift to yourself that will fill your cup and revitalise your mind, body and soul, contributing to your essential self-care process.
Open discussions and self-inquiry - Covering a range of themes, our open discussion sessions aim to encourage and support shared learning and inspiration in the profound and soulful journey of teaching yoga. As a group we’ll hold space for one another, and share stories and practices to live more from the heart, to renew your deepest purpose for teaching yoga. We’ll offer embodied and integrated yogic wisdom as a foundation for inspired and authentic teaching.
Self-care practices - we draw from the timeless principles of yoga and Ayurveda to cultivate a deeper connection to our own self-care. Simply having the space to voice what's in one's heart can offer greater insights into what's needed to stay nourished on the path of teaching. We hold space for each other as we soulfully dive into the essence of what it means to be a modern human being, and set intentions to make positive and lasting changes towards our continued wellbeing.
Nurture time - We all have different requirements when it comes to nurturing our mind, body and soul. We’ll deepen our connection to nature by exploring local bush tracks, beach walks, beach swims (weather dependant), and living in nature’s daily rhythms rising with the sun. There will be free time to wander, breath the fresh ocean air, gaze out to the horizon, curl up with a book from our extensive yoga library, or have heartfelt chats with fellow yoga teachers.
Nourishment - More than just nutrition, true nourishment comes from sharing meals with a sense of gratitude and connection to the abundance provided by the earth. Daily whole food breakfasts, lunches and dinners will be prepared with love from fresh, primarily organic produce, and are vegetarian and gluten-free. Dietary requirements can be catered for if we’re notified in advance.

What our last retreaters said:
"I cannot recommend a Killcare retreat with Nicole and Rod highly enough. They are the most generous hosts in every way - from sharing yogic wisdom, providing guidance on teaching yoga, cooking the most delicious and nutritious meals, guided bush walks, beautiful yoga and meditations classes and great conversation! They create such a nurturing, restorative space, and the love that they put into everything really shines through. I came to the retreat quite worn out by Sydney life, and I left feeling rejuvenated, rested and re-inspired. Also the two gorgeous dogs stole my heart!" ~ Bernie
"Thanks again for an amazing retreat. It was just perfect. The program was a perfect blend of structure and fluidity, the house was well appointed and the location absolutely stunning. As for the food....beyond words! I felt nurtured and rejuvenated. Namaste" ~ Halyna
"From the moment you walk through the door of the InYoga beach house a transformation takes place. For the next 48 hours you have permission to let go and immerse yourself in yoga... heartfelt practices, phenomenal wholesome meals, luxurious lodgings and an amazing sangha. Nicole & Rod, you should be proud... you have yet again created an amazing space for teachers to rejuvenate and consolidate with effortless learnings. Will definitely be back. Thanks for sharing your home, your wisdom and your love." ~ Simonne
"The phrase 'exactly what I needed and when I needed it' sums up my experience at a two day retreat with Nicole and Rod in August 2018. It was such a privilege to be welcomed into their stunning beach view home in Kilcare. I teach yoga in a small community studio, where I have very little access to yoga classes to develop my own practice. I have continued with many online teacher trainings, but what I needed was this place at this time. To felt nurtured, supported and encouraged in both my teaching and in my personal practice. I recently began a new meditation path and was apprehensive to share my experiences. The gentle guidance, encouragement and acceptance shown by Nicole and Rod, both reassured and encouraged me to adopt a curious and open mind in my meditation practice. Did I mention the food?! Wow! Vegan friendly, mouth watering and plentiful... Nicole is an amazing cook. I felt nurtured emotionally, spiritually and physically and I wouldn't hesitate to book in regularly. Thank you both for sharing your wisdom, your home and how you truly live your lives 'inYoga'." ~ Steph
