Somatic Healing Yoga and Wellness Escape on North Stradbroke Island, Australia

The retreat is based in a quiet, natural part of Point Lookout, just minutes from the ocean. There are six beaches within a short walk of the house. The program is fluid and adjusts to the energy of the group, with a mix of restorative and yin yoga, Soma flow yoga, liquid bliss yoga on the beach, somatic movement, breathwork, meditation, ecstatic dance, and ceremony.

A big focus is on the somatic work. Kat's teaching is grounded in somatic movement therapy, which is about listening to the body and releasing tension held in the muscles and nervous system. She also specialises in pelvic health, hormonal balance, and supporting people through grief. The practices are described as gentle but empowering, fluid, and playful, rather than intense or competitive.

The location itself is a key part of the retreat. North Stradbroke Island is a natural, peaceful place. There's a real focus on spending time outdoors, whether that's walking, swimming, snorkelling, surfing, or simply sitting by the water. Whales and dolphins are common sights, and the island is also home to koalas and kangaroos.

Beyond the movement and food, there are workshops and small group activities built into the schedule, like a cooking class and a fire ceremony. The retreat is limited to between three and fifteen people, which keeps things intimate and allows the program to be personalised to whoever is there. It's a simple, grounded approach to a wellness getaway.
