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.
Julie Baker and Emma McLarty run small-group wellness journeys from Perth, with their signature Rejuvenation Retreat held on an 1,800-acre property in the Chittering Valley surrounded by state forest above the Avon River. The long-weekend format pairs private cabins and all meals with guided bush walks and unhurried days built around rest. The pair also lead international journeys — Kerala, Bhutan, Japan among them — and arrange private group retreats.
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.
The Centre for Attitudinal Healing's bush retreat an hour south-east of Perth, used by community groups, families and teams. Accommodation runs from a cottage to shared quarters for 23 or 46, with a hall for meetings and meditation, a fully equipped kitchen, an outdoor meeting grove, a winter bonfire area and walking trails through the property. Published rates: cottage $500 a night, the 23-bed wing $1,600, the 46-bed wing $3,000, and hall hire $500 a day Monday to Thursday.
Holly Dutton teaches yoga at City Beach and runs residential retreats in WA's south-west — most recently a four-day Margaret River weekend combining daily yoga, sauna and ice bath sessions, breathwork, meditation, bush walks and a cacao ceremony, fully catered. Shared and single rooms from $1,495. Private retreats for groups of six or more can be arranged at Rottnest, Yallingup, Ferguson Valley and the Swan Valley.
Retreats near Perth divide by how long you stay and how much of the day someone else decides.
Day retreats run a single day, usually a Saturday, and combine a couple of sessions with a meal — the low-commitment end, and the one to start with. Residential retreats run a weekend or longer at properties in the Perth Hills, the Swan Valley and down south, with meals and a set timetable included. Silent retreats are their own proposition: several days without conversation, and phones handed in or left off at the door.
Practical realities. Popular weekends book months ahead, so a same-day booking is optimistic. Almost everything here is a driving trip, and the properties are rarely walkable to anything else. Check what’s included before comparing prices — accommodation, meals and sessions are bundled differently by nearly every venue, and single-room supplements are common.

Sound baths in the hills above Armadale — fortnightly Sunday sonic immersions plus sunset, full-moon and cacao-ceremony sessions, with mats, bolsters and blankets provided. The bush setting is half the experience, and a three-event pass suits people who want it as a regular reset rather than a one-off.
