yoga dharma life
Make room for practice
Castlemaine’s Yoga Dharma Life is best approached as a locally based place to ask about yoga and dharma practice, rather than as a residential retreat with a published program. The address is a unit on McGrath Street, so plan for a town visit rather than a remote retreat setting. The name points toward yoga and dharma, though the particular lineage, class style, and retreat format are worth clarifying before you commit. The center runs by donation, with no fixed fee to budget around; ask how contributions work for the session or retreat you have in mind. It may suit travelers already in the area who are curious about practice and comfortable arranging details directly. Before setting out, confirm retreat dates, session content and duration, what to bring, and whether any accommodation or meals are included.
