About Us

Tranquil Point Retreat has been a peaceful getaway destination and retreat centre since 2011. 

Ben Boyle, the founder, was raised in the Huon Valley spending his childhood years in Deep Bay, just across the water from Tranquil Point Retreat. He joined the Australian Army and graduated from the Australian Defence Force Academy and The Royal Military College, Duntroon.  He was posted to the Infantry Corps and gained much life experience in his 13 years service in many locations around Australia and overseas.    Ben retired his service life as a Captain.   For his first 5 years after service life, Ben established and operated a successful real estate business in Brisbane.

In 2011, Ben founded Bikram Yoga Tasmania which is located within the beautiful grounds of Tranquil Point Retreat.  Ben believes strongly in the incredible healing modality of Bikram Yoga.  He graduated from Bikram’s Yoga College of India in 2010 as a certified Bikram Yoga teacher and has gained experience teaching in the USA, Canada, Colombia, Spain, Germany, Thailand and throughout Australia.  He regularly volunteers as staff at Bikram’s world renowned Teacher Training and has taught thousands of students. He continues to seek the mentorship of senior teachers from around the world and volunteers his own time to mentor new teachers. He believes strongly in the healing power that is available to all with a consistent Bikram Yoga practice.

Ben's passion is practising and teaching Bikram Yoga.  He also enjoys working in Tranquil Point Retreat’s organic vegetable garden, working with timber and fishing.  He appreciates listening to guests and sharing the odd story or two of his own life and experiences. Ben has created a haven for guests wanting a quiet space. Tranquil Point Retreat is set in natural surrounds where guests can disconnect from the stresses of their everyday life.
