Welcome to Maiala.
Maiala means ‘quiet place’ in the local indigenous language and this perfectly encapsulates the essence of Maiala. Whether you experience the quiet of Maiala through the practice of Yoga or the hospitality of the retreat accommodation, or even a blend of both, Maiala Retreat and Yoga offers you quiet time and space to just ‘be’.
Nestled in the Sunshine Coast hinterland, Maiala Yoga & Retreat offers a variety of yoga, meditation and pranayama classes and workshops, both on the property and locations across the Sunshine Coast.
In our busy modern day lives we often find ourselves racing from one commitment or obligation to the next, embodying different personas – employer, employee, parent, child, partner, woman or man.
Through this process we often lose the connection to our true authentic self. Maiala invites you to come back to you.
Slow down, experience the beauty of the stunning Sunshine Coast hinterland and explore the infinite wisdom that resides within us and in each breath we take.
Through time, space, stillness and natural beauty, Maiala Retreat & Yoga offers you the chance to reconnect with who you really are, to nourish body, mind and spirit and foster a deep connection with your own true nature and in turn develop deeper and more meaningful connections to other humans and the incredible world we call home.
SLOW DOWN, UNWIND, RECONNECT.
Maiala Yoga is facilitated by Saara Mistry, a dedicated Yogi and experienced Yoga teacher.
Maiala Retreat offers off-grid, off-line, slow inspired curated accommodation. Guests can be left alone to enjoy the stillness and natural beauty of the area or can work with hosts Saara and Jason Mistry to create a more tailored stay with meals, yoga and meditation to deepen the experience.
Maiala Yoga & Retreat was born from Saara’s deep love and respect of the ancient Yogic traditions and their healing and transformational qualities. Combined with Saara’s love of nature and Jason’s long held dream of offering high end bespoke accommodation, Maiala Retreat & Yoga was finally brought to life in 2024.
We look forward to welcoming you to our ‘quiet place’ whenever you’re ready.
Saara and Jason xx

MAIALA RETREAT
Maiala Retreat is inspired by the growing tiny house movement and a desire to offer an alternative to modern-day practices of constantly chasing, valuing social media connections over authentic relationships with ourselves and other humans, and associating meaning or status to material possessions. Maiala Retreat is about slowing down, doing less, connecting more and enjoying the stillness and quiet beauty of the stunning Sunshine Coast Hinterland.
Take your time to grind coffee beans or brew tea, enjoy fresh organic produce grown on the property and surrounding areas, un-plug from your phone, laptop, TV and read a book, take a walk or a bath or gaze up at the stars, talk with loved ones or just be still and breathe.
Maiala Retreat offers beautiful off-grid tiny house accommodation. To ensure a comfortable stay the tiny house has air-conditioning, a fridge, dishwasher, indoor and outdoor shower and an open-air bath. Our accommodation is powered by the sun (don’t worry we have a back-up generator for when the rain falls), watered from the sky (UV filtered so it’s nice and safe to drink as well as being delicious and fresh) and has a zero-impact composting toilet (with no nasty smells!) All this ensures minimal impact on the planet and a more connected and eco-conscious experience.
We also offer Maiala Experience Packages. These packages are curated based on your individual desires. Choose from private picnics with local organic food, individually designed yoga and meditations, rainforest walking meditations, and the chance to experience local waterfalls, relaxing or surfing at Noosa beach (25 mins away) and getting lost at Eumundi markets (10 mins away). Just ask, and we can help you design your stay.
