About Byron Yoga Centre

5.0 (29 reviews)

29 guest reviews · Founded 1988

Byron Yoga Centre sits on 30 acres at 50 Skinners Shoot Road, about a kilometer from the town of Byron Bay, New South Wales.

John Ogilvie founded it in 1988 after teaching his first class in the town two years earlier, and it describes itself as the longest running yoga school of its kind in Australia.

Ogilvie still runs it as founder and CEO, and started the first formal teacher training course in 2006 at a price set to undercut the trainings on offer at the time.

The site runs weekend, five day and seven day yoga retreats plus specialty retreats, and residential 200 hour and 300 hour teacher trainings. Three acres of organic gardens supply most of the vegetarian kitchen.

Solar panels, rainwater tanks, composting and recycling are in place, and there is a 20 meter solar heated magnesium pool. It is a registered training organization, RTO 91522, with CRICOS ID 03418E, trading as Byron Yoga Centre under Purna Yoga Pty Ltd.
