Such a lovely weekend on retreat . The sun came out for us and we really got to experience the beauty of our surroundings. There is nothing quite like taking these practices to nature to really experience their magic.

But really what makes these retreats what they are, and the reason that I do them, is the people. As everyone started to arrive I couldn’t stop thinking about how lucky I am. These wonderful, inspiring, interesting people choosing to come spend the weekend doing yoga with me. And I get to enjoy their company while doing what I love best.

So a little love letter to you, my dear retreaters past, present and future - thank you for trusting me with your precious time ❤️

Next up, France then Mallorca - link in bio for details 💫

Ps. After this weekend I feel like I’m having a little love affair with the British countryside so expect more closer to home retreats! ✨

Care how you get there.🧚‍♀️

My body working overtime to ground and stabilise me. Grateful for my hardworking, responsive vessel and its endless capacity to learn. ❤️

Pre class play. Because playtime is non negotiable. ✌🏼 & ❤️

Goddess pose is so much harder than headstand for me.

It requires much more discipline from my floopy body.
More focus from my distracted mind.
More compassion from my intolerant heart.

Just to say next time you see someone floating into handstand, or sliding into splits, remember their battle might be in the easy stillness of your pigeon, or the effortless balance in your half moon.

Comparison kills joy, compassion compounds it.

So go to your mat and of course, ask for discipline from your body,
focus from your mind,
but also ask for compassion from your heart ❤️

MALLORCA YOGA RETREAT - 19-24 September 2026//
Softening into Somatic Wisdom ✨

Our home for the week will be a beautiful 14th-century monastery, perched high in the Tramuntana mountains over looking this sea.

The energy of the place is palpable. Grounding and peaceful, but at the same time evoking a feeling of expanse and spaciousness.

Stunning views.
Rustic charm.
Peace and tranquility.

New beginnings that we associate with the start of the calendar year don’t really align with nature (read: us!).

Spring is really when we begin to edge out of hibernation and start to bloom.

Mother nature would suggest that in January, instead of ‘new year, new you’ing it, we should be nourishing all parts of us and allowing time for rest.

Think soul warming food, gentle nature walks and snuggling round the fire with a book.

And yes, of course movement and exercise and taking care of our physical and mental health in any way we need to.

But if your body seems really resistant to that 5.30am wake up followed but a HITT class and cold plunge, maybe it’s a good idea to listen, lie in a little and then head for yoga and a sauna a few hours later (yes, I’m biased but also care about nurturing all parts of you, so yoga is the answer!)

SACRED PLAY// a London workshop with and 💫

This isn’t about working hard— it’s about allowing yourself to be present.

And presence begins in the body.

Before we can play, we must remember how to dwell in our ever unfolding moment.

To make space by wringing out the body.

To encourage curiosity and exploration in the mind.

And ultimately ring in a new era full of play!

SACRED PLAY
a late afternoon devoted to body-joy connection through movement and dance,
meditation and breath,
sensation and stillness.

Come ready to feel, energize, and return to your sweet self.

Dare to awaken her 🧚‍♀️

I usually encourage students to play around with closing their eyes and notice what movements feel like on the inside, without the distraction of vision.

Well. That was pretty tricky here.

Instead we opened our eyes and noticed all that is and all that we are.
Separate and the same.
Soft boundaries with blurred edges.
Nothing and everything.
Microscopic and expansive.
Here now and also everywhere all the time.

Kind of mind blowing. But also incredibly liberating.

we’ll be back. It would be worth it just to feel all that this view has the capacity to make us feel. 🌊

Heading off to Kea Island in Greece tomorrow in preparation for the start of my ‘Exquisite Expansion’ retreat on Sunday and I can’t wait!

This one sold out before it made it to the grid - pretty sure that’s entirely due to these stunning views!

My mailing list receives retreat info a week before I post it on here, so if you want to get early access, head to the link in my bio to sign up for my newsletter 🩵

Also, is just so breathtaking, shall I do this one again??
