Richie Laburn, an internationally recognized yoga teacher, is renowned for his personal engagement and motivational instruction that embodies physical, spiritual, and mental strength. Based at Londolozi Game Reserve in the wilderness of South Africa, Richie has cultivated a dedicated following both locally and internationally.

With over a decade of experience, he holds a 300-hour teacher certification and is trained in various styles including Forrest, Hatha, Vinyasa, and advanced Pranayama techniques. Richie has developed his own teaching style, offering creatively sequenced and light-hearted classes with the right intensity for gentle transformation.

His journey has been enriched by apprenticeships with notable instructors such as the late Mel Castleman, BeJay Watson, James De Maria in Ibiza, and Lisa Wright for traditional Pranayama techniques.

What distinguishes Richie is his profound understanding and embodiment of all eight limbs of Yoga, ensuring a fully immersive practice that goes beyond physical postures. In his classes, Richie weaves a web of connectedness through attention to detail and breathwork, facilitating a slow but fluid flow that nurtures both body and mind whilst building internal strength and somatic understanding.

Testimonals

  • Sarah Miller - Retreat Guest

    The Yoga Wild Retreat exceeded my expectations in every way. Each day offered a perfect balance between movement, rest, and reflection. I found myself sinking deeper into a state of calm, and by the end of the retreat, I had clarity that had been missing for a long time.

    Being in nature, with the time to just be still, allowed me to reconnect with parts of myself I had neglected. This retreat was a gift to my body and spirit.

  • Zara Farah - Retreat Guest

    The Yoga Wild Retreat was exactly what I didn’t know I needed. I went expecting a typical yoga retreat, but it was so much more than that. The time spent in nature, moving through yoga postures and moments of stillness, helped me reconnect to something deep inside myself. It felt like a realignment with my natural rhythms, something I hadn’t felt in a long time. The experience wasn’t just physical but also profoundly emotional and mental. It was a chance to step away from the noise of daily life and recalibrate. I returned home feeling lighter, more present, and more in tune with myself and the world around me.

  • Jordan Taylor - Retreat Guest

    Yoga Wild was a completely invigorating experience. Even while deeply immersed in wild African bushveld - the lodge exudes a calm and soothing atmosphere.

    From the moment I arrived I was totally embraced by nature.

    The food was nourishing - fresh, light and world class and the opportunity to experience Londolozi's renowned Healing House was extra-special.

    This retreat is a journey of joy, relaxation, and self-discovery that I wholeheartedly recommend!
