Yogafest Retreat Somers continues! Come join us for 3 beautiful days and nights of yoga, meditation, workshops, relaxation, conversation and time in nature, staying right on the edge of the ocean at gorgeous Somers, on the Mornington Peninsula - 60 minutes from Melbourne CBD.
Yogafest Retreat is one of Australia's longest running events of its kind and welcomes students of all levels and experience - a truly open, community event.
Melbourne Cup Weekend: 2 - 5 November 2018
Each event has a specific theme which weaves in and out over the duration of the retreat, to support your practice, enhancing it beyond the mat.
Presented by Dance of Life: Centre for Yoga and Healing, Yogafest Retreat Somers brings together some of Melbourne’s most committed and experienced teachers. Each retreat is held at the Lord Somers Camp right on the edge of the sea on Victoria’s beautiful Mornington Peninsula, only 60 minutes from the Melbourne CBD.
Since its inception, Yogafest Retreat Somers has been run purely by volunteers, with all money raised going directly to the charitable humanitarian work of Mata Amritanandamayi (Amma).

Participants are asked to contribute a couple of hours of work (chopping vegetables, cleaning dishes, loading the dishwasher etc.) over the weekend, to help with the smooth running of the retreat. It’s our Karma Yoga as part of our yogic life, and it’s a wonderful way to give back to each other and to share the retreat experience.
