The Krishna Farm
The Krishna Farm, "New Govardhana" serves as an ashram to a community of yogis who aspire to live according to their deepest vows and commitments on their path of service, spiritual contentment and happiness (Bhakti Yoga). Their service and dedication make this location a beautiful place of growth, healing and spiritual awakening. The temple is the beating heart of the community at New Govardhana and we encourage all who visit the property to come along and experience the lifestyle and philosophy reflected by the practice of Krishna consciousness.
Please note: While we love all animals, we have a policy of no dogs (exceptions for registered service animals), as we have cows on the farm, and visiting dogs in the past have worried them.

What our guests say...
I went on a one week retreat expecting to do some yoga and relax. What I got was a profound spiritual awakening , on a piece of property that could be the garden of Eden. The retreat sits just at the bottom of the majestic mountain which houses the temple. With fruit and nut trees scattered all of the property one can never go hungry. We were fed 3 vegetarian meals a day that were lovingly prepared and delicious even for the most avid meat lover. The rooms were clean and fresh. Simple and rustic making me wonder what more could one need to live in bliss. What is really special about this place is how you are welcomed and embraced into a family of strangers who work together to create the absolute haven. The yoga and meditation were on another level that words could not describe. I will be back many times to this garden of eden as amongst strangers. I have never felt more at home.This place is magical. I knew I was going to be able to “heal” the minute I got there! One week wasn’t long enough. Can’t wait to come back…I came for a one week yoga retreat to get away from city life. All the staff were really friendly and had a great warmth to them. The yoga teachers were the most advanced I’d met and had a wealth of experience in all kinds of different yogic styles. I learnt a great deal even from just a few classes. I really enjoyed the location (Yoga village) being on the cusp of rain forest and the sounds of the beautiful birds in the morning. The surrounding farmlands and friendly cows also added so much to the experience. The food was also amazing and I came out of it feeling as light as a feather.
The spirit of the land here is tangible; a calmness, peace, and feeling of ultimate goodness pervades the atmosphere, and seeps onto your bones.This is a place where the radiant, abundant nature of life is beautifully expressed, in all it’s beauty and simplicity.The perfect place to leave the world behind and come home to yourself. You can heal yourself.

Embarking on a yoga retreat is a rewarding and potentially life-changing decision that will help you to learn new lessons and live a more fulfilling and healthy life. There are a series of steps that you can take to ensure that you get the most from your retreat. Here is a closer look.
Prepare Well
To get the most from your retreat experience, you will want to make sure that you are properly prepared. This means checking that you have everything you will need (including those items which are specific to your retreat as well as general and personal items) and that you are in the right mindset to get the most from the experience.
Be sure to do some research and put yourself in the right frame of mind to get the most from your retreat. In fact, contact us if you would like our advice!
Be Present
We all have a lot going on in our everyday lives. It can be difficult to stop worrying about our work, our family, our finances and much more. These various concerns can keep us tied down and make it difficult for us to ever break free. Like quicksand, they can keep us stuck and stop us from moving forward.
When it comes to yoga retreats, Australia residents will find that they have the incredible opportunity to truly disconnect for a short while and be present in what they are doing. Many people find that it is a life-changing experience to be truly present. Therefore, we recommend that you try to give everything your full attention. Upon doing so, our guests report that they experience a deeper appreciation for every meal, conversation, and moment.
Reflect Afterwards
Just like preparing is key to enjoying any yoga retreats Australia has to offer, you should also be sure to set aside some time after your retreat to truly reflect on what you have learnt and experienced. Once you have some distance, you will be in a better position to reflect. Think about how you can apply the lessons your learned to make your everyday life more mindful, purposeful and conscious.
Of course, you will want to make sure that you go on a reputable yoga retreat. By finding a trusted and well-rated yoga retreat, you can rest assured that you’ll have a positive experience. When looking for a suitable place, pay particular attention to reviews and testimonials from past visitors.
By reading their stories, you will get a firsthand insight into what you can expect. Look into the quality of teaching and guidance, available facilities, peoples’ personal experience at the retreat.
We have a wide range of reviews available for you to read, and we hope that these will give you a vivid and accurate idea of what you can expect when visiting Krishna Village.
