Retreats, Nature & Experiences Fremantle
Fremantle's Spanda School runs structured silent retreats built on non-dual meditation, gentle movement and rest — one-day sittings at the school itself, and three- and seven-day residentials at Donnelly Lakes near Pemberton.

Two formats serve different depths of practice: a guided version for those newer to silence, and longer unguided sits for experienced meditators. Around a hundred students come through each year, some from interstate and overseas.

A quick feel for the room, based on how Yoga sessions usually run.
These bars are a guide, not a score of this business. Each starts from Oria Haven’s profile of Yoga as a kind of session, then is adjusted by facts stored on this listing: its price band, its group size and whether it welcomes beginners.
Nobody has rated this particular venue in person, and reviews are not fed in. Where we have no fact about this listing behind a bar — for example how many people share the room — we leave that bar out rather than guess.
They describe the room — how quiet, how physical, how many people — never what a session is supposed to do for you.

I can recommend Spanda Yoga School in more than 100 aspects! The service and understanding they have give me through the years of being learning and practicing with the team is really amazing. That unique feeling of unwind and restore as soon as I arrive to the studio is very especial and unique. You all have been so helpful and inspiring, thank you all!
I have always loved attending the Cacao Ceremonies at Spanda Yoga School, but the recent one I attended was a big highlight. Not only was the cacao, prepared lovingly by Ale, so sublime (she added cardamom, ginger and rose petals among other lovely things), the ceremony itself was transformative and deeply calming. It's like being inside a cocoon of peace and love at the studio. The addition of the art therapy was really useful in putting my thoughts onto paper in a fun and creative way. My artwork is on my fridge as a reminder of what came up during the session :) Highly recommended for anyone who loves to dive deep and discover what comes to the surface :)
Fabulous yoga studio – very highly recommended! The yin yoga and meditation sessions are always excellent, with a range of teachers each of whom are subtly distinctive in their practice, which just adds to each session. A warm, friendly and welcoming space too. Been coming a year or two, but if you have no previous experience of yoga and meditation – as I did - do check out this studio.
A few taps is plenty. Every review is read by a person before it appears, and we publish the critical ones too.

IllustrationA guided journal with short daily prompts: a few lines in the morning, a few at night. Undated, so a missed day costs nothing.
Makes a giftGoes well with Mindfulness coaching
A journal only works if it is short enough to keep doing. This one asks for five minutes and three lines, which is the amount most people will actually write, and undated pages mean no guilt about the gaps. A good gift because nobody buys it for themselves.
IllustrationJames Nestor's account of how we breathe and how we used to, drawing on breathing traditions, pulmonology and his own experiments. Paperback edition.
Good for beginnersGoes well with Breathwork
If a breathwork class has left you curious about why any of it works, this is the book to read next. It is a reporter's book rather than a manual, which is why it is so readable, and it sends most people back to class with better questions.
