Reset. Realign. Return to Yourself.

A peaceful pause to vision your dream life

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

The Retreat

This 3-night retreat is a deeply intentional experience that gives you the time to stretch, breathe and dream beyond your usual limits.

Designed to provide physical, mental and emotional rejuvenation, we draw on yoga, pranayama, nervous system regulation and values-based inquiry to provide a space where you can imagine the life you want to create.

Each day begins with a gentle rise and shine practice, that is paired with a serve of protein, which then flows into morning movement that includes a blend of dynamic strength enhancing yoga sequences, finished with gentle recovery poses.

A nourishing wholefoods breakfast is then served, with ample time to savour the view.

The day continues with a gentle rhythm of meditation, breath work, journaling and other creative activities inspired by positive psychology where values clarification and “future self” work help to clarify what matters most to you. In doing this, we practice being in a down-regulated, receptive nervous system state to plant clear, heart-aligned intentions rather than purely cognitive goals.

A relaxed lunch unwinds into a spacious afternoon of leisure time, and spa and bathhouse therapies. Your time, your choice.

Dinner is served as the sun sets and is followed with an optional evening experience around the fire or in the lounge area, encouraging introspection or conversation.

Throughout this retreat breath-led interoceptive practices and the awareness of internal sensations help you notice what feels expansive or contractive in the body when exploring different possibilities for the life you dream of. Dynamic movement awakens and inspires your inner power, while gentle yin yoga connects you to your heart and deepest desires.

The senses are nourished with healthy wholefoods, the aesthetics of nature and quality connection with like-minded women. While your inner compass and expansive beliefs are reignited as you create a deeply personal journal of the life you are moving toward.

Leave genuinely reoriented and reconnected to yourself.

This Retreat is For You If

You feel out of alignment with the life you are living and you need time out to reflect and reset.

You are dealing with ongoing stress, a demanding career, emotional overload or too many responsibilities that leave very little time for you and your dreams.

You are navigating a life transition or a new chapter that calls for a recalibration and a life makeover.

You want to reflect on your values, your direction, and your next chapter with other women and the inspiring guidance of a facilitator that knows how to support self-inquiry.

You want to leave with a vision journal that articulates your renewed direction and simple practices that support your ongoing journey as the creative director of your life.

You want to reconnect with your inner fire, the part of you that never gives up, the woman that knows she is worthy of a life without limits.

You want to reawaken and embody confidence, self-assurance and self-love.

You love nature, delicious food, movement, a good night’s sleep, unique experiences, spa and bathhouse therapies, and connecting with like-minded women.

Simple rituals to help you stay connected and aligned in daily life.

Clarity on your values and what genuinely matters to you, along with a vision of your heart-led life.

A personal ‘sankalpa’ as your reminder and heartfelt intention to carry forward.

A sustainable daily practice designed specifically for your life and whatever you might be navigating (if you choose to have a personal consultation with Patty).

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 and empowerment that is yours.

This retreat includes

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

All meals, snacks, and beverages throughout the retreat.
Our Approach

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.

Group of people sitting around a fire pit in a natural setting with trees and grass.

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

Our Approach

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.
Our Approach

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

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.”
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.

Invest in Yourself

Every SOMA Lorna Jane retreat is intentionally intimate. It is how we ensure every woman who joins is genuinely seen and supported. If this feels like your retreat, trust that. Places are limited and we would love to hold a place for you.
