“The quieter you are, the more you can hear “ - Ram Dass
Living in the modern world it is really easy to become burnt out with too many projects, demanding jobs, being a parent, difficult relationships, too many social plans, poor diet etc and this can lead to us getting sick, developing disease and not fulfilling the our maximum life potential -believe me... we have been here!
We offer a space to slow down, press the pause button and tune in with your own body, mind and energetic system so you can understand what is needed to be at optimal health whether is be physically, emotionally, mental or spiritually. Our retreats, workshops, treatments and classes can be very healing and are created using ancient techniques from Traditional Chinese Medicine, The Ayurvedic Chakra System, The Japanese Reiki System and vibrational therapy from the Himalayas using Singing Bowls, Gongs and other instruments (including your own voice) to reactivate your body's own natural healing system, bring you back to into balance and work towards preventing health issues down the line.
You will find us in the beautiful 3 Valleys during the winter ski season where we offer regular group classes, private sessions and treatments. For the rest of the year you will find us offering retreats across the globe and also travelling around the UK offering workshops.
Retreats
Come and join us at one of our transformational Yoga, Reiki and Sound Retreats immersed in nature, connecting with the elements and practicing yoga in front of the most breath taking views. Our locations and venues are carefully selected and we only offer retreats where we have walked the path before to ensure we understand the area and accommodation. In 2020 we will be offering our retreats in the French Alps, Ibiza, Morocco and Nepal - we hope you can join us. out our events page or www.yogainnature.co.uk for more details.
Andrea Brook - “From the bottom of our hearts, thankyou Natalie, James, Jessi and John. Our first his and her yoga retreat! But this was not just any yoga retreat. This was a yoga, Reiki and Sound retreat in the French Alps underneath majestic Mont Blanc. An expansive and healing experience. Dynamic yoga, yin yoga, delicious food tailored to the Chinese five elements of our Yin practice. Nepalese singing bowls, chakra balancing, Reiki Drumming, hikes and hot tubs. Helping to integrate the intense energies of July. It's difficult to put into words the fullness of the experience both personal and shared. Feeling blissed put and thoroughly blessed”
Classes and Workshops
In the winter season we are based at our home in the Three Valleys (French Alps) offering 121 sessions in Courchevel/Meribel and regular group classes. We specialise in Yin Yoga which is a perfect compliment to a dynamic day on the mountain and combining with sound therapy and reiki is a perfect recipe to go deeper in to the body and mind; reliving aches, pains and encouraging a smooth flow of chi (energy) around the body leaving you feeling relaxed and rejuvenated for the following day. We also offer Gong Baths which we host through the season and can be booked on a private basis at your accommodation. During the year we host workshops and retreats in the UK with a focus on Chinese medicine, organ health, acupressure and the chakra system. Check out our events page on facebook or www.yogainnature.co.uk for our classes and workshops.
Treatments
We are available for Reiki Treatments, Reiki Drumming, Sound Healing, Singing Bowl Therapy and Acupressure. We will set up a treatment bed or space in the room of your choice and create a peaceful environment for you. Reiki and Sound Therapies are non-intrusive so you can wear loose comfortable clothing and will be kept nice and warm by a blanket so you will just need to close your eyes, relax and enjoy your Reiki or Singing Bowl experience. Check out www.yogainnature.co.uk for more information.

Yoga has changed my life. For years I suffered with Adrenal Fatigue and an autoimmune disease, that combined with being a workaholic in the corporate world often meant doing 13-hour days and using all my energy up at work that I often had nothing left for me let alone time for my family or friends. After becoming dependent on steroid injections, medication and coffee just to get through the day I decided to come back to Yoga and explore a holistic lifestyle. As if like magic, my good friend invited me to join her on a Yoga retreat and it was the turning point I needed in my life (I can’t believe I hadn’t been on a Yoga retreat sooner!) Very quickly I found that a regular Yoga practice taught me the art of balance and not only did my physical body became stronger, more flexible and reduced pain but my mental health and whole perspective significantly changed. Ashtanga is my first love but my passion is Yin Yoga as not only does it slow you down but can be very healing internally and externally (you need both!). I have specialised in this Yin Yoga and have developed a deep interest in traditional Chinese medicine, organ health, acupressure and the chakra system which I use to inspire our sessions. Sound and Reiki has also been a huge influence in my healing path which is why James and I love to work together and create a healing and transformational experiences that we can offer on a private basis, group classes, workshops or retreats. In 2019 I continue to deepen my knowledge partaking in my level 3 Yin Yoga with Sarah Lo (senior assistant to Sarah Powers) and also Yin and Acupressure with Jo Phee (senior assistant to Paul Grilley) #alwaysastudent

Working in the fire and rescue service was my dream job and after making the difficult decision to leave after 12 years service I lost my way a little. I missed helping other people and felt something was missing. I proceeded to spend another 12 years building up my own renovations and maintenance company and whilst really enjoying meeting new people, the practical side of working with my hands and being creative I still felt I had more to offer. In 2011 I injured my spine in a car accident and the doctors said that I would need to start saving for a £20k operation to remove some of my spine which would manage the pain. The injury was affecting my life and somedays I couldn’t walk – this is where my journey started looking for alternative ways to heal. I started regular yoga classes and very soon I regained strength, mobility and reduced pain. It was actually in the yoga studio that I saw a leaflet for Reiki and became very curious in how I could tap into my own healing potential. In the back of my mind I knew this was the tool I could use to help others. It has been quite a journey working towards my Reiki master degree and I have incorporated this with sound which has taken my own healing and what I can offer to a whole new level. Working with energy and sound is fascinating and I love to hear peoples experiences and the life changing testimonials from when students have had a session with me or attended one of our events.
And guess what… I no longer need the spinal operation!
