Over the years, I have attended many retreats—most notably studying under my teachers Sandra Sabatini in Italy and India, and John Stirk in UK, France and Italy.
Recently, I took part in a retreat in Bali with Emma Kelly. As a yoga teacher, it was a rare and welcome opportunity to pause, rest, and truly recuperate. We often underestimate the power of stepping back to restore. Being in the company of new yoga friends allowed me to breathe, slow down, feel the warmth of the sun, and explore new cultures—and new aspects of myself.
That experience reinforced why I run small, local retreats here in the UK.
These retreats are delightfully simple: a sacred space to step away from daily responsibilities and give yourself the nourishment you deserve. Everyone is welcome—all bodies, all ethnicities, and all abilities.
Our time together features gentle, respectful somatic yoga, walking meditation, and traditional pranayama breathwork, concluding with a deeply restorative crystal bowl and gong bath. I offer these gatherings to align with the seasons: Winter, Spring, Summer, and Autumn. Will you join us?
Coming Soon: I am also planning a special retreat for partners, carers, and loved ones. Following a gentle yoga and breathwork practice, you’ll learn and exchange relaxing massage techniques for the back, neck, arms, and feet—a beautiful way to reconnect. (Details TBC)
