What they are Saying
The Byron Bay retreat was a wonderful blend of connection and nourishment. Guided by Katie’s expert yoga teachings and fed by Lara’s wholesome meals, our group quickly settled into a perfectly paced rhythm of rejuvenation. The accomodation was spacious and comfortable, with inviting nooks and breathtaking views. Every detail was thoughtfully curated, from the cozy ambiance to the emphasis on honesty and intimacy. Highly recommended for anyone seeking enriching experiences and meaningful connection.

Yoga retreats with Katie West are way beyond your typical yoga retreat.
Katie takes each participant gently through a journey of self-discovery, healing, and awakening. This sets all participants on a path of connection with self and with each other, along with some guidance on how to reconnect with the real world.
Coupled with the most divine accommodation, and yummy nourishing food, we were given information sessions from experts passionate in their field.
Thank you Katie West for this life-changing event. It is an experience I will never forget and will 100% be back for the next one!

My yoga and healing journey started about 8 months before I attended Katie West's Island retreat in Thailand. I had been on one other yoga retreat before, but it was nothing like this. The moment you step foot on Koh Phangan you feel the Island; the sand, the waves, the breeze. It all just sets the backdrop for good vibes and a wonderful experience.
When I first met Katie I was greeted with wild eyes and a warm smile. She curates a safe space for all people and you feel that when you meet her and the group of amazing humans that she brings together. With an emphasis on healing, growth and duality, each individual is given the space to self reflect and be present. I really appreciated the fact that I was able to tailor the retreat to fit my specific needs. The yoga sessions are optional so you can pace yourself accordingly based on your skill level or more importantly, your own well being.
All of the food was fresh and incredible. Most importantly, THE MANGOS!
As one of two males on this trip I never once felt uncomfortable or out of place. If you are a male or any human being that is in search of a healing retreat, I highly recommend ANY journey that Katie West is a part of.

I have to admit I didn't know what to expect when I signed up for the yoga retreat held on Koh Phangan Island by Katie West Yoga, but my expectations were certainly exceeded! I am not a regular or experienced yoga practitioner, but that didn't matter - Katie encouraged me to do as much or as little as I wanted and I learnt a lot from her wisdom and Dharma talks. She has found and created a beautiful environment and brought together wonderful people for a relaxing, life affirming and transformative retreat full of learning, laughter and lightness. I can highly recommend for those who may not necessarily think a yoga retreat is for them, but need some time out to get in touch with what truly matters.

I recently joined Katie’s yoga retreat to Northern India and Bhutan. I loved the daily yoga practice and the additional learning that Katie included for our group - education on Mala beads, spiritual practices, mantras, meditation, journaling and many other things along the way.
A Katie West retreat is many things. Good food, like-minded people, 5 star accommodation, a cultural immersion experience, hiking, sight-seeing, meeting wonderful people, yoga in the most amazing locations, as well as a safe way to travel, as she uses local guides and drivers.
The group sizes are limited to small numbers, so it makes the tour more personalised and you get to know your group members quite well.
I have made new friends and come back with a deep appreciation for the yoga practice, the Bhutanese culture and all things Indian
I have changed some of my daily practices back home in Australia based on what I have learned during Katie’s retreat, and I am forever grateful and thankful for this wonderful opportunity to see Bhutan and India through Katie’s eyes and with her fabulous insider knowledge.
