Last week we finished our 100hour Transformational Meditation & Yoga Nidra Teacher Training 🙌💕🙏

I founded this training 10 years ago and have now trained 100’s of souls to become meditation teachers and space holders and step into their purpose 💕

There are 4 more amazing meditation teachers out there in the world 🙌 They are unique in so many ways with so much to offer the world 💕

They meditated many hours, faced their shadows, inner child and stuck behaviour patterns - they did ‘the work’ which lead them to a higher awareness, a higher vibrational being and in touch with their purpose and confidence to step forward into their new offerings 💕

Check them out if you are looking for a teacher you can trust and grow from 💕

(Nicola) will be offering her sister circles starting next month in knowl hill 🙏

is now offering beginners meditation courses and 1on1 meditation sessions 🙏
living check out Antonia’s meditation boxes 🙏

Lyn runs monthly moon and meditation circles near Marlow 🙏

I feel immensely honoured to offer this training and can’t wait for the next intake to start 💕 DM me to be on the waitlist if you are ready to take the transformational mediation journey 😂🙏🙌💕

Much love,

🩷 Mind, Body, Soul in Retreat in Greece
Tuesday 9th June - Sunday 14th June 2026

The Spiritual Retreat You’ve Been Waiting for……
Divine Connection, Purpose & Potential and Create the Life You Love

Have you been feeling the quiet pull to step away from the noise…
to breathe more deeply…
to reconnect with yourself?

There comes a time in life when you know something is ready to shift.

Created for women who are ready to reset their nervous system, deepen their spiritual purpose, step into their full potential, and consciously manifest the life they desire.

Imagine this…

• Waking up to sunshine, sea air, and stillness
• Gentle movement and nourishing practices for your body
• Grounding and expansive experiences for your mind
• Spiritual connection, intention setting, and manifestation work
• Honest conversations, sacred sisterhood, and space to simply be

This retreat is for you if:
• You feel called to something more, even if you can’t fully name it yet
• You’re ready to stop pouring from an empty cup
• You want clarity, alignment, and deeper self-trust
• You desire a life you love, that feels nourishing and aligned

This is not just a holiday.
It’s not an escape.

It’s a homecoming—a remembering of who you are beneath the roles, expectations, and noise.

🩷 What’s included:
– 5 nights accommodation in Greece
– Daily mind, body & soul practices
– Guided spiritual and manifestation work
– Curated group experiences and integration time
– A safe, intimate, and supportive container

⚠️ Spaces are intentionally limited to keep the experience personal, deep, and transformational.

If something inside you is already whispering this is for me, trust that feeling.
Your soul usually knows before your mind catches up.

🙏 Info in bio. Early bird price available 💕

I cannot wait to share this retreat with you!

Much love,

Vayia

For the past eight years, I’ve had the honour of guiding over 100 students through my 100-hour Transformational Meditation Teacher Training to become Meditation Teachers and Space Holders.

Watching you grow and offer to others — not only as teachers, but as women and men deeply connected to your purpose and passion — has been one of the greatest privileges of my work.

💜

And over time, a question kept returning:
What comes next? Because people are growing, they are self-developing and they are ready for more.

As you know, teaching meditation isn’t just about technique.
It’s about embodiment.
Integration.
Holding space from lived wisdom and experience and the more you embody and experience meditation the further you go on your purpose and the more people you reach.

That’s why I’m so excited to finally open enrolment for something I’ve been quietly gestating for a long time:

✨ The Advanced Meditation Teacher & Inner Wellness Practitioner Training ✨

This advanced-level training is for those who feel ready to deepen their practice, step into greater confidence, and support others from lived wisdom — not just knowledge.

This is the next level of your work.

✨ Spaces are intentionally limited

My allergic reaction this week to a noodle pot 😂

80% of the time I eat healthy, mainly veggies, no gluten, less carbs- because that’s my only choice otherwise my body and digestive system doesn’t work.

I swim 3 to 4 times per week and go to hot yoga twice a week.

I carry a lot of weight, my energy is low. I have an under active thyroid and I m a carry of Beta Thalassimia (basically low iron)

This week after my allergic reaction I wanted to go into victim mode. Why me? I never stop working on myself- putting myself first, physically emotionally mentally.

However I didn’t last long in Victim mode as life’s too short to not feel great inside 😂 even if my physical body shows different. There was no need to worry or stress- what would be the point in that- stress and worries help no one.

Victim mode steals your power. Don’t blame your body, yourself, or anyone else. Take back your power and enjoy life as it’s too short not too!

The shift is simple—but not easy:
Stop asking “Why me?”
Start asking “What now?”

Check your mindset- which means check your thoughts.

For me I am so grateful for my body in whatever way it shows up as without my body I have no life- and then I am not here. Thank you body for working so hard for me 🩷🩷🩷 I am forever grateful.

Now I know I only felt like this after I went into the mediation retreats in Thailand as mediation shifts your mindset, it allows you to realise you are not your thoughts and when you realise you are not your thoughts you start to ask yourself if I m not my thoughts then what am I?……then the gratitude starts to pour in because our thoughts are not in the way.

I m so happy I found meditation as it doesn’t matter what’s going on outside of you it’s how you feel on the inside and meditation brings peace, happiness and gratitude within that’s one reason why I share meditation to as many people as possible 🙏

Enjoy your day!

Much love,
