Hi! I’m Lisa Matthews — Senior Yoga Teacher, somatic guide and retreat facilitator based in the misty Dandenong Ranges of Victoria. With decades of dedicated practice, over 1,000 hours of meditation and philosophy study in India, and a background in classical dance, I bring a rare blend of depth, artistry and warmth to everything I offer. My work weaves together yin yoga, somatic movement, breathwork and nervous system regulation — held always within a nurturing, trauma-informed space where students feel genuinely safe to soften, arrive and remember themselves.
This May, I’m joining the radiant Kylie Pagent and the wonderful Claire Nickson at the gorgeous Blue Green Retreat, May 11–15.
Here’s what’s in store:
🤍 Yin yoga & meditation — long, luxurious, deeply restoring 🌬️ Somatic movement & breathwork — gentle nervous system regulation 🎶 Kylie’s exquisite sound and energy healing — paired with yin, it simply melts the soul 🎨 Claire’s workshops on art & decision making — creative, expansive and genuinely transformative
Kylie first joined us as a participant at our Follow Your Bliss Retreat in Bali, and at our Sri Lanka Retreat last November she brought her extraordinary gifts in sound healing, reiki and energy work — much to the absolute delight of everyone at the retreat. We cannot wait to recreate that magic in Byron Bay, and to experience firsthand Claire’s beautiful art sessions and workshops alongside you.
✨ May 11–15 | Byron Hinterlands Perhaps the most beautiful Mother’s Day gift you could give yourself.
