What others are saying...
“My confidence in Chetana and her teachings is so strong. I would NOT consider attending a Retreat run by anyone else…..”
“I went on the Byron Hinterland retreat to recharge my batteries and to make a new positive start after anxiety caused by complex medical issues.
Sangsurya was a stunning location with lush greenery and the food was EXCELLENT!!!!! Really delicious and such happy lovely cooks!! I bought the Cook Book!
Chetana’s teaching was FANTASTIC (as always!) Her ability to pitch it at different levels to suit all needs is so mindful to everyone’s needs.
I learnt new asana postures, breathing techniques, meditation and mantra toning techniques, all of which I loved. Chetana is so generous of spirit with her time, energy and enthusiasm and I love her sense of humour!
I would definitely recommend a retreat with Yoga for the Soul Retreats and this being my 4th retreat I think says it all!!
My confidence in Chetana and her teachings is so strong, I would NOT consider attending a Retreat run by anyone else….. I left the retreat feeling INSPIRATED!!!”

INCLUSIONS YOUR INVESTMENT ABOUT CHETANA
A Little About Chetana...
My three big passions ~ being immersed in spiritually rich cultures, delving into the practices of yoga and meditation and sharing both the above with others...
I've been an avid traveller since my 20's and over the years it's shifted from adventurous travels of rafting the Zambezi and conquering mountain peaks to exploring the inner and out landscapes of myself and spiritually rich cultures...
I immersed myself in yogic philosophy and lifestyle for the better part of 10years living within an ashram environment in Australia, India, and Buddhist Centre in Nepal.
And I now have the pleasure of sharing these wisdom teachings, with others...
When not leading spiritual yoga/meditation retreats in Australia, Bali, India or Nepal, you’ll find me as a Positive Mental Health Coach mentoring and coaching women from all over the world.
Or playing my tanpura (Indian classical instrument) on the beach at sunrise...
