What People Are Saying
“Beth is an amazing wealth of knowledge and wisdom. A real person who loves what she does and loves sharing it with others. I highly recommend her yoga retreats to anyone and everyone – what a journey. I will certainly be back for more- the solitude and tranquility was pure bliss”.
Kelly Dicton – Townsville
“I highly recommend Hartig Yoga’s retreats. Words really cannot describe what I got out of being on the retreat. Beth is absolutely phenomenal and if you’re not an experienced yogi (like me) it doesn’t matter at all. Self love, me time, soul searching or simply relaxing- whatever you choose to go on retreat for – Hartig Yoga is a must do!”
“A wonderful experience to nourish the soul and fill your heart with new friends. This is my 2nd retreat with Beth and both were fabulous. I would certainly recommend these retreats to take 5 days out to nurture yourself and connect with other fabulous souls.”
“I was fortunate enough to attend a retreat with Hartig Yoga and can honestly say I did not want to leave. Everything was so well planned and beautifully put together and I could not fault a single thing! Beth is an amazing yoga teacher and a genuinely kind and beautiful soul inside and out. She brings a contagious energy to all of her practices and you will always leave feeling uplifted”.
Louise Buchanan – Cairns
“The May 2022 ‘Come Home to Your Heart’ retreat was nothing short of amazing! Beth and Amber working together in harmony to give us the best experience. From Sunrise yoga practice, Yin Yoga, Nidra, Restorative, Cacao ceremony, Sound Healing, Silence day, Journalling, Home made candles, delicious food, massages and all enjoyed in the company of beautiful humans…everything was awesome! Cannot wait for the next retreat. It truly made me feel on top of the world”
“I have just come from Beth’s yoga retreat in Mission Beach. It was so wonderful, i have come away changed for the better. There were so many brilliant and unexpected things about this retreat. I went alone, not knowing anyone, and have come away with a genuine feeling of being valued and loved. I am used to learning with my head, but have now experienced how to learn with my heart. It was fun, warm, welcoming, adventurous, think rainforests and cassowaries, delicious food, inclusive and just about the best thing I have done in so long”
