Yoga White Lotus - Sivananda Tradition

I have just returned home from a 5 day retreat with Mathava and Shyamala at Tallows Beach, Byron Bay. I can not speak highly enough of the retreat and of our teachers. I recommend White Lotus Yoga retreats to anyone who is seeking the truth within. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced Yogi, I believe you will find the experience life changing. I thank you both from the bottom of my heart. Sharing such a sacred space for 5 days has brought about such profound changes in me. Mathava and Shyamala live and breath the yogic lifestyle. They teach in a relaxed and welcoming manner, all the while knowing how to have fun and laugh with pure joy. Can't wait to come back for another retreat soon. xx

Hands down the best yoga studio in the Northern Rivers. As an osteopath I highly recommend my patients help with their rehab through Yoga White Lotus.

If you want a deeper level of yoga that goes beyond just the physical exercise of yoga, then try White Lotus. I have been to classes and 2 retreats and found them very fulfilling. The teachers are kind, authentic, knowledgeable,living the yogic way and want to pass what they have learnt onto others. PS. The food on retreats is amazing!

Wonderful authentic yoga, amazing vegetarian food, inspiring meditations and teachings, superb location...the perfect place to retreat and deepen your yoga practice. The White Lotus familyare gracious, knowledgeable, generous and great fun!

You've changed my life, again! After practicing with Madhava in London I was thrilled to find he, Shyamala and their beautiful son had settled in Lennox Head! The yoga classes are amazing as are all the other classes and courses they provide. Anyone from beginner to advanced can attend and their knowledge, enthusiasm and calmness make practising yoga fun and enjoyable. I look forward to Monday and Wednesday every week. I'm pleased yoga is part of my life. Thank you. Om Shanti

As I am very new to Yoga, I was seeking a Yoga experience that I could immerse myself into for the week and take away with me a more in-depth understanding of the Yoga practice! I was not disappointed. Madhava and Shyamala run a very authentic Yoga retreat. Their love and passion for the yoga practice shine through in all that they do.I have left the retreat with a love of Yoga and the entire yoga practice. I will be return...

This is a blissful studio to do yoga. The teachers have a holistic approach with attention paid to philosophy and incorporating breathing exercises, postures and relaxation to give you a wonderful experience of yoga. I always walk out feeling great. Perfect for beginners or experienced individuals. A very welcoming space. SO glad to have found this gem!

Love this place. As a beginner, Yoga White Lotus are the perfect teachers. No matter your level of fitness or flexibility, I've been taught at a pace that has allowed me to really enjoy the experience. Would highly recommend! :-)

I was given an intensive yoga class as a Christmas gift from my daughter. It's been a long time since I've done yoga and I was concerned about my flexibility, my ageing back and knee. I entered the retreat with wonder, hoping for the best. I was given excellent care, movements tailored to assist my needs so that I was not compromised and there was no pain. Each day brought more flexibility and both my back and knee feel stronger. But what I liked even more was the educational aspect to yoga, studying the 5 points of yoga, the traditions of Sivananda yoga. This was a wholistic experience that appealed to every part of me. Hands down the best yoga teachers I've ever been blessed to study under. Om Shanti
