8-Day Freediving & Yoga Retreat

Bira, South Sulawesi

Upcoming Dates

March 17-24, 2025

October 21-28, 2025

Freediving | Yoga | Meditation | Breathwork | NeuroConservation

Same program, different location! This “off-island” Fluid retreat takes us to the magical reefs of South Sulawesi, where we visit our friends at Tevana House Reef for a week of exploration. With its vibrant corals and glassy conditions, Bira is a fantastic place to learn and progress your freediving skills and reconnect with the ocean.

Our intention for this retreat is to instill a sense of ocean connection and personal accomplishment while providing a safe and effective learning environment. Our experienced instructors are all trained in much more than freediving- they come from varied backgrounds that add value to their teaching style.

This retreat is for ANYONE interested in learning about freediving and sparking some intrinsic motivation. Don’t be shy. Absolute beginners are encouraged to join.

We pride ourselves on creating an environment where students can positively navigate their expectations and overcome obstacles. We do not solely focus on depth and time but instead on the powerful mental benefits the sport brings.


What Will You Learn?

In both retreats, we dive deep into some topics that will aid you in your day-to-day human existence.

  • Learn techniques to handle daily stress, improve sleep and manage expectations

  • Increasing body and breath awareness

  • Implementing strategies to move through learning obstacles

  • Neuroconservation: how we apply our freedive training to conservation and sustainability

Our expert instructors guide guests through yoga classes, meditation techniques, breathwork practices, and physiological training to aid progression. And they do this in a supportive and comfortable environment tailored for success.

Accommodation & Pricing

We are excited to be resting in rustic style and comfort at Tevana House Reef, a boutique eco-resort on the shores of South Sulawesi. Tevana House Reef rooms combine traditional Phinisi boat-building techniques with a hint of modern and minimalistic concepts and sustainable innovation. The resort harvests rainwater, makes use of a wastewater garden, reduces water usage with water-saving showers and water-saving toilets, and provides environmentally friendly toiletries.
