At Ballina Yoga, we offer a calm and supportive space for students of all levels to explore the practice of Iyengar Yoga.

Our River Street studio in the heart of Ballina provides a peaceful setting to focus, move and breathe with awareness. Iyengar Yoga places a strong emphasis on alignment, precision and the use of props to help every student experience the full benefit of each posture, regardless of age, flexibility or experience.

Under the guidance of experienced teachers, classes are structured, thoughtful, helping you build strength, stability and balance in both body and mind.

Whether you are returning to practice, discovering yoga for the first time or simply looking for a place to pause in your week, you will find a warm welcome here at Ballina Yoga.

At Ballina Yoga, we use props like blocks, belts and wheels to help you explore each pose in a way that feels safe, steady and surprisingly comfortable. Whether you are working on flexibility, alignment or simply taking a moment to breathe, props make every practice more accessible and enjoyable. Join us in the studio and see how a little support can take your yoga a long way.

Expressions of Interest
Tuscan Yoga Retreat, September 2026

We are pleased to let you know that we are considering running a second Ballina Yoga retreat in Tuscany, Italy, in September next year.

The success of our first retreat last year has prompted a series of enquires about whether we could run another retreat, so we’re seeking expressions of interest for attendance at a second event in September 2026.

This would again be a 7-day retreat in the beautiful medieval village of San Quirico d’Orcia, south of Siena. Our local friends, Antonio and Valentina, have said they would be delighted to be our hosts again. Antonio and Valentina run a local café/book shop and assisted us by sourcing a fabulous venue for the yoga and by providing some traditional Tuscan meals.

Everyone who went on last year’s retreat, including partners of some of the yoga participants, will have very fond memories of San Quirico and Antonio and Valentina’s special brand of warmth and hospitality.

Our tentative dates for the second retreat are Monday 14 September to Sunday 20 September 2026. This is a beautiful time of year in Tuscany, with warm days and cooler evenings, and coinciding with San Quirico’s annual public art exhibition. Participants will experience a taste of traditional Tuscan life in a gorgeous hilltop setting, with thermal baths nearby. We also run trips to nearby towns and attractions as part of the retreat offering.

Part of the success of last year’s retreat was that my partner Paul speaks Italian and manages the logistics, meaning I can focus on the teaching and supporting students in their practice. Paul will again provide assistance in organising travel and accommodation for attendees in 2026.

We need a minimum of 10 students on the mat for the event to be viable so I’m seeking Expressions of Interest from anyone interested in attending the event next year. Please contact me by 30 November 2025 if you’re interested in participating. We’re happy to answer any questions you might have about the event.

You’re welcome to contact me by email, in person or on 0439 023 389.

Warm regards
Helen
