Retreat with me

A retreat offers us the possibility of a truly profound experience of yoga. Surrounded by nature and among like-minded people from every corner of the world, a unique journey unfolds. Conversations open up, emotions are untapped, and discoveries are made… 

Mornings on retreat

In the quiet of each morning, we begin our yoga practice in stillness, taking time to anchor our awareness in the present moment through a guided breathing exercise or meditation. Then, drawing on the energy of the rising sun, I lead you through a vinyasa flow that is both gentle and energising.

Afternoons

During the dip in energy that tends to follow lunchtime, the sessions slow down. There is plenty of time for sinking into a profound state of relaxation with restorative yoga or yoga nidra (yogic sleep). I also take time to discuss the wider principles of yoga, delve into the ancient scriptures, or explore the myths behind the postures, and sing mantras accompanied by the harmonium (Indian organ) so that you have a rich and wholesome experience.

Like my classes and workshops, my retreats are for everybody.

I provide a safe and joyful environment, where you are encouraged to pay close attention to your own needs – physical, mental, and emotional. I also encourage you to reflect on what yoga means to you in your daily life, and I invite you to come and talk with me between classes (I really love to do this). I’m always happy to pass on the teachings I’ve received – including those that, together with the physical aspects of yoga, have completely changed my own life.
