The Fiji Experience - BOOK HERE
Savusavu calls itself the Hidden Paradise – and with good reason. It is away from the rush of tourists, bus tours and international hotel chains.
Daku Resort is a small and comfortable resort in beautiful tropical gardens on Fiji's northern island of Vanua Levu. Savusavu is a quaint little town tucked with the slow, friendly pace of traditional Fiji. It's an ideal place to come and unwind with a week of yoga. By the end of the week you will feel rested, rejuvenated and at peace with the world.
You'll still find ceiling fans and ocean breezes rather than air con, and you can turn up to dinner in a sulu. At Daku, the staff numbers are small, the smiles are large and our guests are welcomed like old friends of the family.
On arrival you have time to unpack and settle into your apartment. It is a good time to take a walk into town and purchase your supplies. We meet as a group prior to dinner and discuss the program.
The Program
The daily schedule essentially follows a pattern of early morning practice, a break for breakfast, and then another workshop session. It takes place in an open-fronted villa set slightly above the resort with a view out across Savusavu Bay.
Most days include a late afternoon session.

Feedback
“Winning a Sunshine Yoga & Health yoga holiday on Lord Howe Island was like securing my dream. Lyn’s confident yet friendly voice, telling me of my prize, also matched my dream. With Sunshine Yoga on Lord Howe Island my whole self was more than catered for. I didn’t have to try and be ‘anything’. The real me – the many parts of me – just showed up. As a yoga instructor myself, I cannot speak more highly of Lyn’s techniques and her ability to nurture serenity and freedom in all of the participants. The balance between structured yoga and relaxation sessions and our free time to explore the island on foot or pushbike was excellent. Lyn organised tours and dinners perfectly, giving us a clear idea what was on the island and how we could maximise our enjoyment for the 8 days. Thank you Lyn of Sunshine Yoga & Health.” - Frances P. Sunshine Coast
Money cannot buy the life-changing experiences that occur when holidaying with Sunshine Yoga & Health.
"Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making me feel whole again. I have never experienced such a range of emotions than what I have here with you. Opening my heart is hard for me but I did it at Lord Howe and it is an overwhelming sensation. Thank you for coming into my life. You truly are an unique and beautiful soul. I know that you and I will travel many journeys together" - Natasha A , Brisbane
“I am just realising how much of Lord Howe Island I have brought home with me. I went expecting a great holiday destination but have come home with a very strong spiritual connection. The space, freedom and purity of Lord Howe allowed me to explore my purpose. Thank you Lyn for sharing your very special energy.” - Shirleen A - Brisbane
Lord Howe Island’s special essence is what draws Lyn back year after year – as well as her clients.
"Thank you for another remarkable experience! Every time I come with you I get so much, and more. I am so blessed that you have come into my life. Lord Howe is exquisite, the time I have had here has been awesome and I can’t thank you enough for a sensational week! Thanks for being just……..you!" - Fiona W, New Zealand
“It was a wonderful yoga holiday with a great lot of people. The island is so special you get wrapped up in its uniqueness and its life style. You have to be there to understand its beauty and its ruggedness. The island picks you up on arrival – nurtures you – and lets you down when you leave but allows you to take your personal experience, memories and feelings home with you to have forever.” - Ken C – Brisbane (Ken is returning this year)
Sunshine Yoga offers special deals for couples who would like to share the Lord Howe Island experience together. It works wonderfully well and the non-yogi shares with the group except for the yoga.
"The most wonderful week, full of peace and joy. Thank you Lyn." - Glenda & Kurts R, Borrellan Point
“Our week’s holiday on Lord Howe was exactly what we needed. It was wonderful to meet and share with you the natural beauty and serenity this island emanates. The others in the group made it special also. We will definitely look at joining you again". - Jeanette and John B – Mt Larcomb Qld
We all know the saying “you can’t beat experience”. This is a quality that Sunshine Yoga undoubtedly has. Lyn’s years of organising national and international yoga retreats and holidays, makes her one of Australia’s most authentic and experienced yoga holiday specialists.
“I thank you sincerely for your expert planning which made it such a fantastic week at Lord Howe Island. The great yoga sessions and wonderful companionship inspires me to want to do it all again sometime.”
