About this Retreat
Lila - the head of our yoga teacher training courses - completed an Education degree at the University of Technology Sydney in 1998, and has been teaching yoga since 2005. After spending 2.5 years deeply immersed in the yogic lifestyle as a volunteer in a yoga ashram, from 2008 onwards she has been working full time as a yoga teacher trainer in Byron Bay [Certificate IV in Yoga Teaching, RYT-500, Cert IV in Training and Assessment]. She completed Pre/Postnatal Yoga training with Bliss Baby Yoga in 2012, and now also is a regular presenter on their courses. After becoming a mother, Lila completed a Kid's Yoga teacher training with Zenergy Yoga in 2014 and occasionally teaches Mum's and Bubs, Mum's and Toddlers and Kid's yoga classes in the Byron Shire.
Lila also holds a Diploma of Remedial Massage, is the lead singer of the enCHANTed band which holds regular kirtan evenings in the Byron Shire and at Yoga Festivals, and has a deep knowledge and understanding of Ayurveda through years of study and regular trips to India. Lila is a passionate Bhakti yogi inspired to share the things she loves through yoga teacher trainings.
Michael began his yoga journey at the age of 20 when he left his profession as a studio musician and joined a bhakti Yoga Monastery. For the next 10 years he travelled Australia, New Zealand and India as a celibate monk, daily studying the traditional yogic canons and engaging in strict daily yogic sadhana. Then after another 6 years as a traditional Vedic (Hindu) priest, he took an interest in the more physical aspects of yoga.
He successfully completed a 3-year diploma course with Satyananda Yoga before finally finding his passion with Power Vinyasa. Since then he’s been certified by Baron Baptiste, became certified with Anti Gravity level 2, founded one of Australia’s most successful regional yoga studios, and has helped pioneer, develop and facilitate many teacher training programs here in Australia. As a teacher trainer, Michael brings with him great integrity and depth, forged by more than 31 years of strict, yet joyful daily practice. His teaching is full of compassion, humour and authenticity, with a deep respect for tradition, but without being over zealous.

A yoga school run by trainees
I enjoyed my three day stay at Krishna Farm. The accommodation was basic but clean and the food was ok.
I was a little surprised that there were only 1 or 2 qualified yoga teachers taking the occasional class. Most of the classes were being taught by yoga teacher trainees which is the main program that was running at Krishna Farm while I was there.

Peaceful and rejuvenating
My stay at Krishna village was incredibly restorative.
The village is so peaceful and the food is amazing. It’s lovely to be around kind gentle slow paced folk who seem to genuinely be interested and caring toward others.
The cabin was clean and adequate.
The yoga sessions were great. With some exceptional teachers. Drama’s sessions were gentle tho strong. Her guidance was clear with just the right level of information. Having Pearl provide the Acknowledgement To Country’ was great (and would have been lovely in all sessions actually).
Thank you to everyone at Krishna village including the lovely volunteers.
