Reset. Realign. Return to Yourself.

A peaceful pause to vision your dream life with Patty Perlman

A 3-night immersive Yoga based retreat at SOMA Lorna Jane

The Retreat

Sometimes it isn’t burnout. It isn’t a breakdown. It is simply the quiet sense that you have drifted from yourself, from what matters, from the life you want to be living.

This retreat is designed for that moment.

Three days of breathwork, values clarity, and embodied practice that help you find your footing again. You don’t arrive here broken. You arrive ready to reset what isn’t working, realign with what is true, and return to your life with renewed direction and a practice to sustain it.

Rooted in the ancient wisdom of Yoga Philosophy, this retreat offers something that most modern wellness experiences do not: a framework that is both deeply personal to you and thousands of years old. Patty Perlman brings two decades of yoga practice, teaching, and facilitation to every session, holding space with the kind of steadiness and warmth that makes honest self-inquiry not just possible, but genuinely welcome.

You will work with your breath as a teacher. You will clarify your values and your vision. You will build a simple, sustainable daily practice that travels home with you. And you will leave not just rested but genuinely reoriented.

This Retreat is For You If

You are not in crisis, but you are out of alignment, and you feel it. Something has shifted and you are ready to understand what.

You have been running on pace and performance for long enough that you have lost touch with what you want your life to look like.

You are at a point where clarity matters more than rest, you don’t just want to recover; you want to recalibrate.

You are ready to look honestly at your values, your direction, and your next chapter with the guidance of someone who knows how to hold that space.

You want to leave with something lasting. A reset that sticks. A practice that travels home with you and a sense of direction that feels like yours again.

Your Educator & Facilitator

Patty Perlman

Yoga Philosopher · Breathwork Facilitator · Retreat Leader

Patty Perlman has spent twenty years in the practice and teaching of yoga, not as a physical discipline alone, but as a complete philosophy for living. Her work draws deeply on the yogic traditions of pranayama, the yamas and niyamas, sankalpa, and the practice of Yoga Nidra, weaving ancient wisdom together with the warmth, humour, and genuine human presence that makes transformation feel accessible rather than effortful.

Patty has a rare capacity to hold space for honest self-inquiry, creating an environment where guests feel both challenged and completely held. She doesn’t teach you what to think. She gives you the tools, the tradition, and the space to discover what is already true.

“This retreat is not a departure from your life. It is a return to it, more awake, more present, more fully yourself.”

What You Will Take Home

A working understanding of pranayama and yoga philosophy as practical tools for daily life, not just concepts from a class.

Clarity on your values and what genuinely matters to you and a vision for the next chapter that feels honest and yours.

A personal sankalpa, a heart-rooted intention, grounded in the yogic tradition, to carry forward.

A simple, sustainable daily practice in breath and movement, designed by Patty specifically for your life and what you are navigating.

Tools for nervous system regulation, self-inquiry, and the kind of inner steadiness that is not dependent on conditions being perfect.

A reset that sticks and a sense of direction that feels like yours again.

This retreat includes

All-inclusive retreat with meals, workshops, movement sessions, group experiences, and daily bathhouse access.

All meals, snacks, and beverages throughout the retreat.

Every meal is a balance of nourishing macronutrients

One of the most powerful habits you can build is the way you eat, and every meal on this retreat is a quiet demonstration of what that looks like in practice. Seasonal, whole, and genuinely nourishing, the food here is not incidental to the program. It is part of the rewiring.

Breakfasts are protein-rich and grounding, designed to stabilise blood sugar and support the cognitive clarity needed for the morning’s learning. Lunches are generous and balanced, built around whole foods that sustain energy without the afternoon crash. Dinners are lighter and unhurried, an invitation to slow down, connect, and let the day’s insights settle. Snacks, elixirs, and teas woven throughout the day continue the same intention: every offering chosen to nourish the brain and body that is doing the work of change.

All activities, workshops, movement classes, and learning sessions.

Every moment on retreat is curated with intention

Every hour on a SOMA Lorna Jane Retreat is part of the journey. The daily program includes ample leisure time alongside interesting activities and experiences that open the mind to new insights and possibilities.

Movement classes encourage strength, mobility, fitness, flexibility and conscious breathing that leave you feeling energised versus depleted. Our workshops provide practical tools that can be woven into a busy life; presented by qualified educators who have been carefully selected for their expertise, lived experience, and genuine desire to uplift and empower. While evening gatherings invite quality conversations, reflection, light celebrations or quiet meditative experiences. This is the time where the day integrates, and when connection with other women deepens.

Daily bath house access: sauna, warm soaking pools, and cold-water immersion.

Nature, bathing and spa therapies for deep restoration

Together, the day spa and bathhouse create an opportunity to deepen your connection to self and the natural surrounds. A small yet carefully curated menu of signature treatments has been intentionally created to deliver a deeply satisfying experience for your mind, body and nervous system. The bathhouse provides a sequence of hot, warm and cold hydrothermal therapies that further enhance your restorative journey.

Our therapists work with intention and care, creating space for the kind of deep rejuvenation that supports everything else you experience while on retreat. Whether you arrive carrying tension, fatigue, or simply the weight of a busy life, you will leave feeling lighter, clearer, and more present in your body than when you arrived.

Additional Day Spa therapies are available as an add on

Our Foundation

Every SOMA Lorna Jane Retreat is rooted in the same philosophy Lorna Jane Clarkson has lived and led for over 37 years: when a woman moves with intention, nourishes herself deeply, and truly believes in what she’s capable of, everything changes. This is not a wellness trend. It is a proven practice. And SOMA Lorna Jane is its most immersive expression.

Set within SOMA Lorna Jane's hinterland sanctuary, our retreats are designed so that the environment itself becomes part of the transformation. Surrounded by rolling hills and rainforest, with architecture intentionally shaped for stillness, connection, and restoration, SOMA Lorna Jane creates the ideal conditions for women to step out of life’s intensity and into calm and clarity.

Facilities include the beautifully appointed SOMA Residence with expansive views across the landscape, a day spa and bathhouse featuring sauna, warm soaking pools and cold-water immersions, two forest Domes, one for mindfulness experiences and one for active strength and movement, and 22 acres of peaceful nature to breathe, explore and restore in.

The daily program weaves together a supportive rhythm of movement, nourishing wholefoods, spa and bathhouse rituals, and deeply satisfying rest. Time in nature: fresh air, sunshine, forest bathing, and swimming; awakens the senses and quiets the mind. Throughout the retreat, quality conversation fosters genuine connection and friendship with like-minded women.

Our featured educators and facilitators have been carefully selected for their qualified expertise, lived experience, and a genuine desire to uplift and empower; always with warmth, depth and a touch of humour.

At SOMA Lorna Jane, we believe a pause can also be productive. Our retreats offer you the opportunity to recalibrate and rise, within an environment that is beautiful, unhurried, and deeply considered.
