The Samudra Astanga Shala will be situated on the picturesque grounds of The Folly (www.thefolly.com) in Cowaramup Bay. The Folly itself means a beautiful place with a beautiful view and that it certainly is.

The new shala will be built with an aspect facing to the Ocean and out over its own Olympic sized beach volleyball court and the national park which is situated nearby. The Samudra Astanga Shala at The Folly is being constructed out of the best materials including natural limestone and local peppermint wood. Together with these natural materials, underground heating for the floor and the perfect setting, the raw energy of the bay will make this place one of the premier yoga shalas in the world.

The Samudra Pure Yoga & Surf Retreats held at the Samudra Astanga Shala will include Astanga yoga, macrobiotic meals and outdoor activities such as rock climbing, orienteering, abseiling, kayaking, diving, fishing and of course surfing. Everything a great health retreat should offer!

The Samudra Pure Yoga & Surf Retreats offered at the shala will vary in length from:

• Weekend programs
• 3 day programs
• 5 day programs
• 7 day programs

At request, we are also happy to tailor make a retreat to suit your group or company's needs. Those looking for health retreats, men's retreats and women's retreats might do well to consider tailoring a retreat that includes yoga and surf.

Accommodation will be available in some of the nearby houses and chalets located in Cowaramup Bay and all are within walking distance to The Folly. The activities included in the retreats such as group practice, meal times and other activities will be held on the grounds of The Folly.

Whatever your level of experience or direction of interest, at Samudra Pure Yoga & Surf Retreats we will endeavour to fulfil your needs.

The Samudra Astanga Shala is currently in development. We are currently able to offer Astanga Yoga programs which will be held at the nearby Gracetown Hall and we can accommodate guests of the program at The Folly or houses and chalets in Cowaramup Bay.

If you are interested in this option or would like to receive further information about attending as an individual or as a group, please do not hesitate to contact us at Samudra.

We hope to see you soon on a Samudra Pure Yoga & Surf Retreat.
