Art of Being Yoga & Meditation Retreats

I’ve done 2 of Lara & Benny’s yoga teacher trainings. And I could not recommend it highly enough. Lara is an inspiring woman, her knowledge and teachings come from a very embodied authentic space. I absolutely loved the trainings. Benny is a magical being! His music is transcendental and touches the soul.Highly highly recommend! And I’ll definitely be returning!

I am so grateful for Lara and Benny and the heartfelt, soulful space they hold on retreat. They create such a safe group environment to share and be seen. It supported me to drop deeper into my creative expression and embody the practice of yoga in a completely new and exploratory way. Such beautiful humans, such powerful work.

I did Lara’s 200 hour yoga teacher training course last year. A life-changing & enriching experience! Situated in the idyllic Byron hinterland, it was a journey of expansion & embodiment like no other. Highly recommended! Thank you Lara!

Lara and Benny hold exquisite sacred space. I have experienced their Art of Being Retreat 3 times and each and every one has been my very own Alice in Wonderland exploration of self. Lara's poetic melodies and Benny's transcendental music carry me so gently and subtly through my very own portal and back out again. I feel safe to be 100% me and carry this with me into my life. Writing this has me feel intensely deep love and respect for both Lara and Benny. They are jewels in the world.

Amazing, unique retreats perfect for anyone looking to connect back to themselves, new people and with nature. Lara and Benny are just magical.. so creative and inspiring!

Lara and Benny’s retreat experience was truly transformational for me. Lara deeply cares for her students; she guided me so gently yet precisely back to my true self. Her passion for humanity and the natural world is contagious and comes through clearly in the exquisite delivery of her teachings. Because of Lara I felt and experienced sensations that I never had before. My appreciation and understanding of my yoga practice and the human experience is much more profound and connected after this retreat. The ethereal soundscapes that Benny creates and curates for the classes are just another layer of awesomeness in this magical journey that really is incomparable to anything else. You will literally be jumping for joy at the end of a retreat with these two deliciously divine and equally down to earth humans.

Lara and Benny have created this beautiful sacred space for us to practice, learn, share and heal. Lara has a deep understanding of tantric yoga philosophy and really offers her knowledge in a really humble and digestible way. Love this space and the courses she offers here.

This retreat is pure soul food. Lara nourishes with clarity and care and the retreats are transformational at many levels. Yoga creativity and heart opening experiences. Benny’s inspirational singing, his call and response sessions add to this retreat being above and beyond expectation. The material food was also amazing.

Lara and Benny held an exquisite space for me at their many events. I’ve known Lara for many years and she has been such an inspiring yoga teacher and an aspiration for my spiritual journey. Benny has led beautiful deep sound journeys complementing Lara at YTT that I’ve attended 2 years ago at their property in Byron Hinterland and also at group yoga and sound journeys. I’ve received deep clarity, wisdom and heart connection from their work and keep coming back and recommend all my friends their retreats as they’re so genuine and special to me.
