Islands are special places that capture our imagination in some fascinating way. Perhaps it is the mystical feeling of isolation; untouchable, quiet, peaceful; an opportunity to reconnect and discover a part of yourself which is often difficult to find find on the ‘mainland’.
Lord Howe offers the perfect setting for escape, with its untouched beauty, unique flora and fauna and rare species of birds and fish. The beautiful white sand beaches and sheltered lagoon beckon with crystal clear turquoise waters. There are hideaway coves, mountains, headlands, wonderful walking tracks plus mountains to climb, snorkelling, kayaking and scuba diving.
Sunshine Yoga and Health has been travelling with yoga groups to this World Heritage listed island since 2001. So many clients fall in love with this little piece of Australian paradise and return for their dose of exquisite Lord Howe Island energy. A scenic 1½ hour flight from Brisbane or Sydney, Australia, takes you to join Lyn’s small group of like-minded souls.
This island prides itself with superb restaurants and cafes, where local fresh fish is the number one favourite. With less than 400 permanent residents and less than 400 tourists allowed on the island at any one time, it is never crowded.
Lord Howe’s unpolluted environment offers you peace and tranquillity. Lyn’s comprehensive health and wellness program, her support, experience, friendship and fun guarantees you long lasting memories
Non-yoga partners are more than welcome… in fact there is a special price for couples (see couples rate)
