Yoga & Sailing Retreat – Whitsundays

$1,699.00 all-inclusive

20-23 SEPTEMBER 2026

Unplug and Unwind for 4 days and 3 nights on our rejuvenating Yoga & Sailing weekend departing from Airlie Beach, Whitsundays.

Come and join us as you practice yoga in the beautiful subtropical Whitsunday Islands, from an all-inclusive maxi sailing yacht. Run by experienced yoga instructors and mother-daughter duo, Frani and Ayla Wilde, this 4 day sailing retreat will put you back in touch with nature, and yourselves. Creating connection with likeminded souls, whilst reconnecting you to your sense of Self.

With a combined international teaching experience of 20+ years, Frani is also a talented physiotherapist of 30+ years and Ayurvedic health coach (among many other talents!), and Ayla has been teaching on workshops and retreats Australia-wide over the last 8 years. Together they have been running these sell-out retreats for 5 years.

In our fast-paced world, it is so important to slow down and reconnect with your body, mind and the natural world. We are so excited to bring you this restorative and regenerative experience.

Below you will find an example itinerary – please note this is subject to weather and tides. But trust us, Ayla lived in the Whitsundays sailing, teaching and guiding people for 5 years so no matter what we do, it will be equally as amazing. The company we have partnered with (Prosail Whitsundays) are also the best in the business for knowing the perfect balance of adventure and relaxing.

This four day sailing and yoga retreat in the Whitsundays is designed for you. Do as much or as little as you like, but return to land feeling rejuvenated and reconnected to nature and all its beauty.

Please note that the accommodation on board is very basic – think a floating dormitory (which I know can seem an intimidating thought) but honestly, it’s all part of the magic (and why we can keep the price low). Over the last 5 years we’ve had ages from 30-75 on board and they all step off the boat 4 days later full to the brim with the experience.
