Start the year in your body, not your inbox.
Move & Restore is three nights on an organic farm in the green hills behind Byron Bay, built around one simple idea: real strength and real rest belong together.
Each day you'll move with intention, eat food cooked by a chef from the land around you, and give your nervous system the kind of space it rarely gets. Mornings build heat and clarity. Evenings soften into stillness. In between, there's time to swim, wander the orchards, nap, read, and remember what it feels like to have nowhere else to be.
You'll leave with a body that feels lighter, a mind that feels quieter, and a practice you can carry into the year ahead.
Your hosts
Husband and wife, teaching partners and co-founders of Fire and Form, Dustin and Fedoua share a deep love for movement, yoga and creating meaningful experiences for others.
With more than 25 years of combined teaching experience, they bring different perspectives and styles to the room, united by a thoughtful, grounded approach to how people move and feel. Together, they create space to move with intention, slow down, reconnect and feel more at home in your body.
Dustin Brown
Yoga teacher trainer and movement coachA former professional surfer and third-degree Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt, Dustin has taught yoga for fifteen years and trains the next generation of teachers. In 2015 he founded a yoga business in Melbourne that grew to three studios, and he helped create the yoga program for Apple Fitness+. His classes are strong, intelligent and grounded in how bodies actually move.
Fedoua Sbiri
Yoga, Pilates and movement coachFedoua has more than 10 years of experience teaching yoga, beginning her training in India and continuing to deepen her practice through further study and experience. Her teaching draws from a range of yoga modalities and is grounded in thoughtful alignment, mindful movement and a strong yet fluid approach to practice.
With a background in Reiki, she brings an awareness of energy into her teaching, creating classes that feel warm, intuitive and intentional while helping people feel stronger, more connected to their bodies and more at ease within themselves.
Choose where you stay
Guests stay across the Main House, the Garden Rooms, the Banksia Rooms and the Gumnut Cabins, all a short stroll from the studio and pool. Rooms are air-conditioned or fan-cooled, with hot water bottles and extra blankets for cooler nights. Meals are shared around the long 22-seat timber table in the Main House, which also has a lounge with an open fireplace and wraparound verandas leading to the pool, sauna and fire pit. Every option includes the full retreat program and all meals. Sharing with a partner or friend? Shared options are priced per room, and work out cheaper per person.

What three nights
can do for you
Small group. Two hosts who have spent their lives in movement. A farm far enough from everything to finally switch off.
Reset after the year-end rush
Two guided classes each day balance strong, focused practice with deep restorative work.
Be fully nourished
Three chef-prepared meals daily, so your only job is to show up and be present.
Go deeper than a studio class
Two dedicated workshops to refine technique and ask the questions you never get time for.
Work beneath the surface
A yin and sound experience, plus a fire ceremony and dance to shake loose what you've been holding.
Find clarity for 2027
Space, ritual and reflection rather than resolutions that fade by February.
Share it with good people
A small group of like-minded people, somewhere that feels a world away yet sits just inland from Byron.
Wybalena Organic Farm
170 private acres in the hills behind Byron, and for these three nights the whole farm is ours. Orchards, a spring-fed dam that catches the sunrise, a rainforest creek, a stone fire circle and a light-filled studio looking out over the valley.
The whole farm to ourselves
Exclusive use of all 170 acres. No other groups, just our retreat and the farm's discreet caretakers.
Hot and cold therapy
Unlimited use of the magnesium pool, infrared sauna and XL Odin ice bath, with outdoor showers right beside them.
A studio made for practice
A 66m² stand-alone studio with a full wall of windows over the valley, cork mats, bolsters, blocks and blankets for everyone.
Swim, wander, explore
Swim in the spring-fed dam or the rainforest creek, home to glow worms after dark. Pick fruit and flowers from the gardens, and follow signposted trails from 10 to 45 minutes return.
Evenings by the fire
A sandstone fire circle beneath a poinciana tree, and an open fireplace in the farmhouse lounge.
Room to switch off
Phone reception is limited out here, which is rather the point. Starlink wifi is there if you truly need it.
Food by Aja Jade
Every meal is cooked on the farm by chef Aja Jade, who has spent seven years catering retreats around Byron Bay, styles food for Netflix productions and founded Maple Co Byron Bay.
Her food is simple, seasonal and made with love: organic produce from local farmers markets, grass-fed and pasture-raised meats and eggs, wild-caught fish, and nothing made with seed oils or refined sugar. Dinners are shared around a long table set with linen, candles and fresh flowers.
A sample of Aja's retreat menu. Dishes follow the season. Gluten-free, dairy-free and other dietary needs are easy to plan for, so let us know in your booking.

Questions
Do I need yoga experience?
No. Every class offers options so beginners and experienced students can practise side by side.
How do I get there?
Wybalena is in The Pocket, NSW, about 35 to 40 minutes' drive from both Ballina Byron Gateway and Gold Coast airports. There's no public transport to the farm, so drive, car-pool, or book a transfer, taxi or Uber. There's plenty of parking on site. We'll send the full address and transfer recommendations once you book.
Can I come with a friend or partner?
Yes. Choose twin share to room with a friend, share an ensuite or Main House king room with a partner or friend, or book a Gumnut Cabin for two or three of you.
What about dietary needs?
Tell us in the booking form. Our chef, Aja Jade, cooks nourishing seasonal wholefood meals and can plan around gluten-free, dairy-free, allergies and intolerances.
What should I bring?
Comfortable movement clothes, swimwear, a warm layer for evenings, a water bottle and a journal. Mats, props, linen, towels, toiletries and hair dryers are all provided, and every tap on the farm runs filtered drinking water.
What time does the retreat start and finish?
Check-in opens at 3pm on Sunday 17 January, with our opening circle at 4:30pm. Rooms need to be vacated by 10am on Wednesday 20 January, then we gather for a closing circle at the fire pit before you head home at 10:30am.
What if I have an injury?
Most injuries can be worked with. Let us know in the booking form and we'll offer options in every class, and there's always breathwork, meditation and rest if moving isn't right on the day.
Can I leave the farm during free time?
Yes. There's free time after breakfast and after lunch, enough for a beach swim or a wander into Byron or Mullumbimby. With only two full days, though, most guests find the best reset is staying put: the pool, the trails, a book and a nap.
Can I come solo?
Absolutely. Plenty of guests do, and the small group makes it easy to connect.
Will I have phone reception?
Mobile reception is limited in The Pocket, but there's fast Starlink wifi across the farm if you need to check in with home.
Is the venue accessible?
One of the cabins is purpose-built for accessible stays. Let us know your needs in the booking form and we'll make sure you're looked after.
Anything else to know about the farm?
The farm is strictly non-smoking and pets aren't permitted (service animals excepted). You will meet Ella the cattle dog, plus the farm's chooks and cattle.
