What is a Retreat ? our retreats offer a safe place, a space where you can focus on wellness , through yoga , meditation, breathe work silence , nature walks and mindful art therapy .

I have been running retreats for over 10 years and this 4 day retreat took us back to the incredible retreat centre at the waterfalls of St Nectins Glen , a kind of spiritual home for me , as I know the St Nectins family and this area of Cornwall really well.

It was pure bliss to guide this amazing group of 12 on a journey of inner peace, forest walks , waterfall bathing, Sound baths with lovely Tess , just added to the magic of the moment.

Thank you to my retreat guests coming together to create a family for four days , offering friendship , loving kindness and support to each other .

Namaste to each and everyone of you......
meaning I bow to you , as my soul recognised that divine light and soul in you ###

If you would like to join us for our next retreat , message below and we will keep you updated , with dates workshops , events and retreats.

As I drink my first cup of coffee on the morning of the first day of a new year ,about to do my yoga practice , I feel the excitement of what lies ahead those that know me , know I’m a January person , I love the stillness and the space to reflect and plan for lots of time with all of you the people that fill my life with love and laughter

Happiest of days ahead to all of us

And this incredible book from my son Ben reminds me of all the things I truly value in life.

The beautiful Buddhist mantra I think sums up what we all wish for

Om Mani Pädme Hum.

“Blessing to all beings “

Welcome 2026 and all you hold

As a yoga teacher there's nothing greater than practising what you teach. Myself and my beauful friend Laura Bateman spent our second week in Italy at the OLEA yoga retreat Center with in the pretty village of Torri in Sabina .

We quickly became a yogi family of 16 , practicing yoga meditation and breath work daily , eating home cooked Italian food and just being present in nature and friendship.

These moments when we stop and reflect are so powerful. Feeling super chilled and flexible 💖
