The owner and founder of Sadhana Retreats

Hi, I’m Trace, founder of Sādhanā Retreats (pronounced Sah-da-nah).

Sādhanā Retreats was created to make the deeper teachings of yoga - philosophy, meditation, pranayama, mantra - more accessible, without being limited by location.

This is a space for those seeking more than the physical practice. A place to engage with yoga as a way of living, and to explore its depth in a way that can be integrated into everyday life.

Online learning has made it possible to access experienced teachers from around the world. Sādhanā Retreats builds on this, offering structured retreat experiences that can be entered from home, without losing their integrity.

Sādhanā Retreats is more than a place to learn. It's a place to remember.

Sādhanā Retreats was created to offer something different — yoga retreats that are not limited by location, with a commitment to making them more accessible than traditional retreat models.

This is a space to access meaningful teachings from experienced teachers, and to engage with yoga as a way of living, not just something practised on the mat.

Alongside the retreats, a community space supports your ongoing journey.

what we stand for

Wisdom

We offer practices and teachings that can be lived, not just learned.

Integrity and Honesty

We value honesty, clarity, and respect for the individual path.

Joy

A steady, grounded sense of ease that supports the practice.

To make meaningful yoga teachings more accessible, without compromising depth or integrity.

Welcome to Sādhanā Retreats.

what does sādhanā mean?

Sādhanā साधना (pronounced Sah-da-nah)

Although it’s often translated as a path of spiritual achievement, Sādhanā is not about striving to achieve - it’s a commitment to bringing balance to body, mind, and spirit through an intentional, consistent practice.

Over time, this practice softens the illusion of separation - helping us move beyond ‘self’ and ‘other’ into a more unified, connected way of being. Sādhanā is a devotion to your own unfolding. Transformation doesn’t arrive all at once - it lives in the daily, mindful moments that shape who we become.

Sadhana Retreats is a global online offering, specialising in yoga, ayurvedic, pranayama and meditation experiences. Operating out of Australia and serving a worldwide audience.

Yoga is a vast and lifelong journey, deeply rooted in Indian traditions. At Sādhanā Retreats, we do not claim to offer the entirety of yoga’s depth, but rather a bridge for those seeking to explore beyond the mainstream. We honor the wisdom keepers, teachers, and traditions that have carried these teachings for generations.

We acknowledge that we meet and work on Indigenous lands across the globe and we pay respect to elders, past and present, and acknowledge the role that Indigenous peoples continue to play within their local communities.
