Ananda Yoga - Gentle Yoga with Jo

13/03/2025

An amazing opportunity has come up for a yoga teacher to run a retreat in Spain this September: The Hacienda Retreat (where I went last year and am taking a group again this June) has had a cancelation and is available 25th September - 3 October 2025. They are often booked up 24 months in advance, so if you fancy running a retreat at the end of the summer in a gorgeous rural location, this could be your chance! See my website for info. and a video showing off the venue (https://www.ananda-yoga.co.uk/yoga-retreat-spain). They also have their own website: https://www.haciendaretreat.com/ but it is insecure, so you will have to persist to get to it! Tracie (your host) is wonderful and will ensure everything goes smoothly. Happy to answer any questions and give you contact details. I highly recommend this as a retreat venue. 🥰

I shall be mostly posting on my personal page rather than this Ananda Yoga page in the future, so please do search for Jo Welch (Ananda Yoga) and do a Friend request if you want to keep in touch long term. x

I'm back on Facebook. Thanks to all who have been so supportive and kind over the last few days whilst I had to lock everything down. It is not pleasant to know that someone else has been in your email account. Many of my Sent and Received emails were deleted permanently (some before I had even opened them), so apologies if I haven't responded to you recently. It is now safe to get in touch again. 🤗

I will be teaching a Gentle Yoga flow at this event on Sunday. Join me in the New Forest if you fancy a lovely day of Wellness. 🥰

Great time to pause, reflect and learn from nature. When light & dark are equal in our day and the leaves are starting to be released by the trees, we are coming together in Community to celebrate! All sessions are being donated by amazing local teachers.

Look to the skies tonight to see a rare "Blue Supermoon". The moon will look bigger and brighter AND it is the second one this month! Sadly, it won't look blue... Heard the phrase "once in a blue moon" and wondered about the origin? My recent blog explains one theory. https://www.ananda-yoga.co.uk/blog Thursday evening's outdoor yoga class will give you the chance to salute the power of the moon. https://bookwhen.com/anandayoga

Rain stopped play for a while today at our outdoor Goga class. The goats huddled together and welcomed some warming cuddles as we quickly put up a gazebo before finishing the class. 🐐🥰😅 Bucket Farm
