The Karijini Yoga & Hiking Experience is the escape you’ve been craving to feel truly alive, exploring nature and self in the most stunning location possible!
You’ll be fully supported to safely explore the beauty of nature and self, and grow towards your full potential.
You’ll delight in new friendships with our small group of like-minded adventure buddies. There is a maximum of 11 spots available on this trip so be sure to secure your spot before we sell out!
You’ll hike and swim your way through gorges carved out by millions of years of water flow, enjoying picture-perfect views and swimming in clear turquoise waters. You can even try out a waterfall massage!
The locations we explore are just too beautiful to explain in words, or to be fully captured by camera. The benefits of this experience and the magic of these ancient landscapes simply need to be felt to be appreciated.
You’ll see unique geological formations, flora and fauna found nowhere else on the planet, all while exploring picturesque canyons and walking trails.
You’ll enjoy the contrasting colours of turquoise water cascading through stunning red rock formations, interspersed with patches of green trees. Looking up, you’ll see the steep red rocks give way to beautiful blue skies above.
… and that’s before we even talk about the amazing pastel tones of the incredible sunrises and sunsets!
This retreat is super-charged with beauty, adventure and exploration!
Between our hiking and swimming adventures, we’ll relax and recover with mindful movement, juicy stretches, deep relaxation and carefully curated reflection exercises. Plus, we will get to know and support each other through the challenges and achievements of this amazing journey.
Let’s reconnect with what’s truly important in life; health, personal growth, meaningful connection with others, and appreciation for nature.
You don't need to be a pilates, hiking or yoga expert to join us - all you need is a decent level of fitness and an adventurous spirit.
Beginners to yoga are most welcome!
Turn up with an open mind, the gear on the packing list and the rest is carefully planned and organised for you.
What others are saying
“I attended Frieda's Karijini Yoga, Pilates & Hiking tour in 2022 and the tour was excellent - in fact, it was even better than I had imagined! Thanks a million Frieda for giving me the opportunity to see an area of WA that I have been longing to see. The food, yoga, travel and all the hiking/swimming at the gorges were all spot on. It was brilliant!”

“I attended Frieda's Karijini retreat based on the beautiful photos from her last trip but wow, my experience was even more special than I could've hoped for!
Frieda had everything so well organised, I never could've seen all the best bits of this amazing place without Frieda's experience, guidance and inspiration!
The evening yoga sessions were the perfect way to unwind after the day's hike.
I highly recommend doing this retreat, it was incredible, every last minute. The small group I shared this retreat with were all so lovely too.”

Meet your host - Frieda
Hey there, I’m Frieda, your friendly & fun yoga (& pilates) instructor and tour leader. I am super passionate about helping people just like you live happier, healthier lives through mindful and intelligent movement, evidence-based self development practices and spending quality time in nature. I have some fantastic classes and activities in store for this trip! 💚🌿
My classes are beginner-friendly, encouraging curious, safe and mindful movement and bodily awareness.
I haven’t always been a yoga and pilates teacher - my background is corporate law and commercial contract management, so I get how busy and stressful life can be. I know just how hard it can be to find the time for self-care, let alone to organise what that looks like. That’s why I LOVE to create experiences which help people in the same boat. My aim is to provide events where you can simply turn up and go with the flow - I take care of the details so you don’t have to!
I would love to share my love of yoga, nature and adventure with you in Karijini and to help you feel great in body, mind and spirit. ❤️⭐️
What others are saying
“I joined Frieda’s Karijini hiking/yoga trip to indulge two of my favourite activities. How wonderful to be able to do that with everything organised for 5 whole days! Getting to know 9 wonderful women as we climbed, walked, swam and ate together in spectacular surroundings was a very positive experience. Frieda was a great host and leader.” [Marita attended retreat in October 2022].

“My Karijini experience was absolutely incredible. I accomplished things I never thought possible with the support, love and encouragement from such amazing, strong ladies. It was the retreat I was sorely in need of as it nourished my soul, reinvigorated my passion for everyday life and I made some incredible friends. [Jo attended retreat in April/May 2022].
joanne kirkham
“I took a punt on going away on a holiday by myself and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. It was the perfect combination of adventure, challenge, luxury, self discovery and relaxation. You don't need to be super fit or super into yoga but if you love nature and challenge, it’s perfect. Everything was well organised and catered for. Karijini eco retreat was excellent, the yoga and hiking fun, beautiful and relaxing and the canyoning was an adventure of a lifetime. It was a special blessing to be able to enter gorges and waterfalls that the general public don't have access to. Frieda is such fun, easy going and made the whole trip exciting and stress free. [Caroline attended Karijini Yoga & Canyoning Adventure April 2021 - a different tour but with many similar activities and elements to the advertised experience.].

Love and light shine from her aura, and her ability to share her love of nature radiates from her very soul! Also professional and compassionate. Cannot recommend this beautiful tree spirit highly enough! Jump in! Just do it!! Caters to all yogic levels and her group activities are so insightful..”
