Somatic Healing Yoga and Beach Wellness Retreat on North Stradbroke Island

The retreat is anchored by Kat's signature Soma Flow yoga, a fluid, elemental style that combines vinyasa flow, somatic movement, and breathwork. Sessions happen both in the yoga shala and directly on the beach, sometimes in a sheltered bay or even in the lagoon. The schedule includes restorative yin yoga, liquid bliss yoga (a deeply relaxing practice often done to music), ecstatic dance, heart breath journeys, and sunset meditations at sacred sites. Kat weaves in somatic movement therapy, which she specialises in for pelvic health, hormonal balance, and nervous system regulation, as well as migraine relief and grief support. Mornings typically start with herbal tea or cacao, followed by a practice, then a leisurely breakfast. Afternoons are often free for swimming, surfing, snorkelling, or simply lying in the sun. One afternoon includes a beach walk and nature immersion, and there's a cooking class where you learn to make some of the plant-based dishes served during the retreat. The island itself is part of the experience – you'll likely see dolphins, turtles, and manta rays, and from May to September, humpback whales pass through. The retreat is intimate and down-to-earth, with a group of between 3 and 15 people, and the program is flexible enough to adjust to the group's energy and the weather. Kat's co-facilitator Skye also joins, helping create a calm, safe atmosphere that repeat guests describe as feeling like coming home. This is not a luxury spa retreat – it's a simpler, heart-centred island escape focused on rest, gentle movement, and good food.
