"Stoking the Fire"
Byron Bay Hinterland Retreat
May 15-18, 2026
with Lucy Roberts
and special guests Rose Baudin & Edo
This retreat is an invitation to step away from the usual juggling act of "householder" Yoga,
and into a focused space of authentic practice and deep tending.
Together we'll spend 4 days/3 nights at the stunning BlueGreen Sanctuary
in the Byron Bay Hinterland, being nourished on all levels.
And in that space, we "stoke the fire" of our connection to Self/Spirit/Divine,
deepening our capacity to live awakened lives of presence, love, and service.
With over 100 years of combined experience and dedication to the Yogic path in its various forms, Lucy, Rose and Edo will share asana, pranayama, philosophy/satsang, puja (fire ritual), mantra, and kirtan— all with this same intention.
Your Facilitators
At the heart of this retreat is SUBSTANCE— teachers who have lived, loved, and lost; who have raised and continue to raise children; who navigate illness, aging and uncertainty whilst leaning into the teachings as though our lives depend on it, because they do! The grace (and the grit) of this Path, its capacity to reveal basic peace, freedom, and joy, even when the going gets tough, and our profound gratitude for it, is what we aspire to share with, and nurture within you.
Lucy Roberts
Retreat Organiser, Asana, Pranayama, Meditation
Lucy has more than two decades of experience leading Teacher Trainings, workshops, retreats and online courses. She's also a registered Counsellor, Wayfinder Life coach, and mother of one.
Her absolute passion and purpose is to share yogic knowledge in a way that's relevant, relatable, and kind, reminding us of our wholeness, as we tend gently and wisely to our humanness.
"The energy that comes through Lucy is direct from that source of divine feminine, by which I mean so much care and motherly qualities... and just an unforced desire for people to know and understand how loved they are."
Caroline Cowley,
Founder of Byron Kirtan & Mothermorphosis
Rose Baudin
Philosophy/Satsang, Pranayama & Meditation, Agni Hotra (fire ritual)
Rose has studied and practiced Yoga for 56 years, and taught for 38. Her inimitable blend of deeply embodied wisdom (from a lifetime of dedicated practice); hilarious story-telling; no-BS smart, straight, completely integrated philosophy; and big loving heart will wake you up to your own nonsense, and give you a giant bearhug, all at once.
"I have never met someone who I can truly say has been cathartic in my spiritual journey until I met Rose. Anyone who has the pleasure of meeting her for 'a cup of wisdom' and delve into deep knowledge on yoga philosophy is truly blessed and fortunate."
Pemra Fassa, TTC graduate
Edo
Bhakti Yoga - Mantra & Kirtan
Edo is the creator of the Mantrafy App, Co-founder of 'A Sound Life' charity, and one half of beloved musical duo 'Edo & Jo'. Edo shares mantra and kirtan as though he were born to do so, with skilled musicianship and refined Sanskrit pronunciation, but also an earnestness and purity of devotion that deeply stirs the heart. Edo's voice goes straight to the Soul, reminding us of our own divine essence, whilst helping to clear whatever stands in its way.
"Edo embodies wisdom and shares so authentically from the richness of his heart. He has been such an inspiration on my journey as a devotional song carrier, giving me the confidence to truly lean into the rich and vast world of mantra."
