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.

Maintenance and security issues meant my stay was difficult
On the first day I arrived I notified reception that the lock on my cabin door was broken and was extremely difficult to lock from the outside and it took them five days to fix this I had to ask them again. finally on the sixth of my stay a new lock mechanism was put in while I was not in my cabin. However the key was left in the lock in my cabin was left unlocked. I had many thousands of dollars worth of personal possessions with with me in there. I was shocked to find that they had left it unlocked with the actual key in the lock from the outside on my return.
On the sixth day of my stay I was verbally attacked and seriously abused by another guest at the breakfast table, this was an appalling incident, and illegal. I have a witness and am considering police action. Office reception were extremely reluctant to take any meaningful action and just wanted me to fill in a form. I had to insist that the site manager be brought in which eventually happened.
One night the smoke alarm went off repeatedly even though there was no smoke late at night It was very hard to find an after hours support number when the guy finally did arrive he was ill equipped and it did not have a battery to replace it I had to supply it.
The Wi-Fi advertised simply didn’t work at my cabin
More seriously I learned there is absolutely no on-site security at Krishna Village despite large numbers of guests and volunteers being present and some very unfortunate incidents having taken place during my 7 day stay - not involving me. If you’re a single woman you might consider whether you will be safe here.

A relaxing, inspiring stay at Krishna Village Retreat
The retreat offers a super welcoming stay on a beautiful 100 acre farm set in a stunning natural environment. With delicious, plentiful vegetarian food and several yoga classes a day, it’s the perfect place to reset and regroup from city living. It was a privilege and inspiring to experience the HK way of life, - a very caring, big family feeling. The pretty cabins were a perfect accommodation option set away from the main village, surrounded by trees and with all you need for a relaxing stay.

5 day stay at Krishna
I had the best 5 days at the Village - learnt more about yoga and met some wonderful human beings. It was a privilege to be able to stay there and engage with some of the many things on offer including meditation and Kirtan. And be in the most beautiful setting. Great re-set.
