5 Day Pedal, Stretch, and Breath Cycling and Yoga Retreat in Terranora, New South Wales

Facilities

Escape for a long weekend with four nights in a boutique luxury homestead nestled in the New South Wales Northern Rivers Hinterland. Removed from the tourist trap but within close reach of all the region has to offer, this is a true hinterland getaway. You will cruise the maze of the quiet country roads and discover tiny, picturesque villages. Indulge at some of the region's best cafes and restaurants all the while surrounded by world heritage-listed tracts of ancient, untouched rainforest.

After a morning of cycling, you will unwind with a truly unique rum and gin plantation distillery experience on a working cattle and cane farm. Learn about the paddock to bottle rum production processes and the star botanicals used in the gin, then soak in the beautiful rural location while sipping an original rum or gin cocktail. Begin or end your day, every day, with yoga in the tranquil and private gardens of the surrounding homestead. For all abilities and flexibility, your body will feel as actively refreshed as your brain will feel peacefully restored.

Reset your body with some hands-on attention and enjoy a luxurious in-house massage to round off a wonderful cycling and yoga escape. Soulfit Adventures takes a very holistic approach when designing the itineraries, creating a balance where you will encounter opportunities that will engage your body, mind, and spirit. Wonder in the highlights of the hinterland and relax by the beach for a truly undiscovered experience in Australian paradise.

Yoga

Flexibility is not a requirement on any Soulfit Adventure and yoga is suitable for all levels, from beginners to more advanced practitioners. This week is much more than just the physical movements of yoga and cycling and hopefully, it can be about finding something, letting something go, gaining balance in life, and most of all having fun and enjoying the many aspects of the adventure - from the cuisine, cycling, a beautiful culture, and new friends.

Cycling

Soulfit Adventures cycling itineraries have been designed for people with a reasonable level of fitness and cycling experience, and anyone with a good base level of fitness should be able to complete all of the cyclings. The itineraries are designed to show the best that the Bryon Shire has to offer - from rolling hills in the hinterland to beachside towns with laid back surfer vibes, as well as some climbing. They grade their rides by the level of difficulty which relates mainly to the distance and terrain. However, it is also largely influenced by an individual’s cycling experience and level of fitness.

• Average daily distance: 60 to 80 kilometers
• Average daily elevation: 1000 meters
• Difficulty: 3.5/5

Exact cycling routes will be confirmed at the time of the retreat based on the group's cycling experience, interests, and fitness levels. The above kilometers and elevation are estimates only.

Non-cycling or yoga friends and spouses

Non-cycling or yoga participants are always welcome and all activities are voluntary. They choose the locations of the retreats based on their proximity to places of historical and cultural significance, and there is plenty to see and do in the surrounding areas to keep non-yogis and riders happy. They are only too happy to help guests not participating in the organized activities with optional excursions at their own expense.
