Equine assisted learning and counselling on a Bullsbrook property, where the session happens outdoors alongside the horses rather than across a desk — the practice's own phrase is that the therapy room is outdoors. Sessions are groundwork rather than riding: no one gets on a horse. Grief and loss work runs alongside the general counselling.

Nature & Outdoor Wellness in Perth Central — listings
A seven-bedroom retreat house for up to twenty guests on five and a half acres of orchard near the Moore River estuary, fifty minutes north of the city. Groups take the whole property — two lounges, meditation spaces, a games room, fireplace — with an eight-metre air-conditioned yurt for yoga, meditation, breathwork and sound. Facilitators hire it for weekend retreats and the house hosts its own calendar of events; the downstairs layout is step-free.
A rammed-earth retreat house in the timber town of Dwellingup, purpose-built in 2012 for small groups of up to eighteen: eight ensuite bedrooms, a large common room and kitchen, and the Bibbulmun Track at the boundary, under a kilometre from town. Yoga studios, art teachers and craft groups book the whole house for weekend retreats — myoga's Iyengar weekends and Art Outdoors' painting retreats among them — and self-cater or bring in local caterers.
Frieda runs yin and vinyasa classes in Claremont and Cottesloe and takes the practice into the bush: yoga hikes — 'yikes' — such as a four-kilometre walk at Bells Rapids followed by a slow-flow class and afternoon tea, and a hike to the Golden View lookout above Mundaring Weir, forty-five minutes east of the city. Longer retreats run in Balingup and overseas. Private one-to-one classes and corporate yoga and pilates round out the calendar.
Guided hikes from two hours to five days, most of them in the Perth Hills, Yanchep and on Rottnest, with longer trips to Denmark, Karijini and Esperance. The wellness-leaning walks — 'Wild & Well Perth', 'Zen in the Cave' — pair the trail with time to sit, and more than half of guests come alone. Day hikes are priced from free to $349, multi-day trips from $1,590; cancellation is free with 48 hours' notice, and one per cent of earnings goes to mental-health and land-restoration causes.
Outdoor group fitness, running clubs and personal training held at beaches and parks across the western suburbs — Leighton, City Beach, Swanbourne, Mosman Park, Peppermint Grove and Dalkeith — plus lunchtime sessions in the CBD and Fremantle. Equipment is brought to the session, so there is no gym to join.
A retreat centre on ten acres of bushland in the Perth hills, with a seasonal creek, native forest and an octagonal yoga shala. Alongside weekly classes it runs a monthly one-day silent retreat, longer weekend retreats through the year, self-guided personal retreat stays and long-form teacher training. Retreat days fold in bush walks on the property.
One of the oldest and largest bushwalking clubs in Western Australia, with a program of graded day walks most Sundays and Wednesdays plus multi-day hikes, base camps and navigation courses. Walks are both on-track and off-track, mostly within about an hour's drive of Perth, and the club is a HikeWest member.
Vanessa Forbes runs outdoor fitness sessions in Kings Park, meeting near Sticky Beaks café on Kings Park Road. Boxfit and short midday sessions are the mainstay, aimed at people fitting training into a work break, with group and one-to-one programs for adults and children. Sessions run by appointment.
Social worker Liz Dos Santos runs ground-based equine sessions on a small Oakford property. The main offering is the seven-session Horse Wisdom Program for people aged 13 and over, alongside corporate team days. No riding is involved — the work happens on foot alongside the horses. NDIS registered.

How nature & outdoor wellness is taught in Perth
A good deal of this category is free. Bushwalking clubs and Heart Foundation walking groups run scheduled walks across the metro at no cost beyond turning up, and park-based tai chi and outdoor fitness groups sit at the cheap end of everything else in the directory.
Beyond the walking: forest bathing sessions that move slowly through bushland with a guide, surf and ocean programmes run off the northern and western beaches, and equine-assisted sessions on properties out past Oakford and Byford — those last ones are booked by appointment, not dropped into.
The scheduling constraint is the Perth summer. From December to March almost everything outdoors runs early morning or after five, and groups that walk the Hills shift their start times by the month. Winter is when the Bibbulmun-adjacent walks and the Hills trails come into their own. Check the weather rather than the calendar, and bring more water than looks necessary.
Our guide covers where to sit outdoors, season by season. Related: hiking and bushwalking, eco therapy, retreats and day escapes.

How does Oria Haven choose which practices to list?

Practices can claim their listing to keep it accurate and add photos, offers and booking links. We never take a cut of bookings, and enquiries go straight to the practice.
