AWAKEN
An Ayurvedic Spring Retreat for Lightness, Clarity & Renewal

24-28 March 2027 | Finca Las Calmas, Andalusia

Nature follows the seasons to remain in balance, and we are part of nature too.

As winter gives way to spring, the natural world begins to awaken. Sap rises, days lengthen, and life starts moving again. Ayurveda teaches that when we align ourselves with these seasonal rhythms, we support not only our health and wellbeing, but also vitality, resilience and longevity.

This retreat is inspired by that wisdom.
Every aspect of the experience has been thoughtfully tailored to spring, from the yoga and movement practices to the breathwork, food, workshops, daily rhythm, environment and time spent in nature.

Together we will explore simple yet powerful ways to support body and mind through the seasonal transition, helping you feel lighter, clearer, more energised and more connected to yourself and the world around you.

What is Ayurveda?
Ayurveda, often translated as "The Science of Life", is a holistic approach to wellbeing that recognises the deep connection between body, mind, nature and daily living.

Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, Ayurveda teaches us to live in harmony with the changing seasons, creating the conditions for greater balance, vitality and long-term wellbeing.

The Announcement I’ve Been Waiting to Share With You

21/08/2026

The Other Side of The Mat

This morning I stepped onto the mat… not to teach, but to be held.
Held by the Yin class of my beautiful mentee, now my yoga teacher,Hayley.

Her class was a gentle masterpiece.
So nourishing for the body, so soothing for the soul… a reflection of her own wisdom, with a few quiet sprinkles of me woven through.

And there on my mat, she left a card that opened my heart before the practice even began.
Proud doesn’t begin to touch it.
Love doesn’t begin to contain it.
Today was a full‑circle moment.

Love you gorgeous girl ♥️

Grateful for a New Opportunity in Charity and Humanitarian Care

I am beyond delighted to share a new thread weaving itself into my professional life, one that feels like a natural extension of my years in yoga, wellbeing and service.
Alongside my ongoing work in the yoga and wellness world, I have stepped into an additional role supporting and managing the charitable portfolio of my dear friend and lifelong mentor. This work centres on values led giving, with a particular focus on animal protection and humanitarian causes.
For me, this is not a shift away from my path, it is a deepening of it.

Yoga teaches us that while we may not be able to change the whole world, we can change someone’s world. Not through handouts, but through handups, through education, time, safety, support and practical help that allows a person, a small business, a community or an animal sanctuary to rise with dignity.
This new role feels like an expression of the yogic heart, the quiet belief that every act of care matters, that every life holds value, and that meaningful impact often begins with one small, intentional step.

And something else beautiful is unfolding.
Through this opportunity, a lifelong dream of mine is finally being given the chance to become real, a way of offering yoga in a broader, humanitarian way, reaching people who may never have had access to wellbeing education, professional training or the possibility of building a sustainable livelihood through yoga.

This role is opening the door to something I have carried quietly for many years, and in the very near future I will be able to share more. It feels like the beginning of a project that brings together everything I believe in, empowerment, dignity, opportunity and the true spirit of yoga.
Watch this space.

Warmly
Tessa 💖

Nourishment in Every Detail

This dining area holds so many memories, our lunch and dinner area at , where sunlight dances through woven reeds and the air feels alive with warmth.
After hours on the mat and by the pool, we gather here, softened and open, ready to share food, laughter, and stories that linger long after the plates are cleared.
This is the place that has held our deep conversations, our spontaneous laughter, our moments of stillness. It’s where community becomes real, the heart of our retreats, where we feed not only our bodies but our senses and our spirits.

What I love about FLC is the devotion to detail, the way they understand that nourishment is an experience shaped by every element around us. The forks and knives, the weight and texture of the plates, even the quiet presence of the napkin holder… nothing is random. Everything is chosen with intention, enhancing the atmosphere and inviting us into a deeper sense of being held.

In Japanese, there is a word for this ,Wabi‑Sabi, the quiet beauty of simplicity, natural materials, and the subtle elegance of things chosen with care. It’s the art of atmosphere, the way a space shapes how we feel, how we receive, how we connect.
Nourishment becomes multisensory: taste, texture, light, sound, presence. A meal becomes an experience because the environment is part of the offering.

I feel this very deeply in the spaces where my yoga classes unfold, the way a room, a table, a moment can hold us, soften us, and remind us of our own belonging.

I’m returning in September for my sold‑out retreat, however for those sensing the pull toward this space, next year the retreat here is quietly unfolding, an invitation into a space where nourishment comes through atmosphere, beauty, and the subtle details that shape how we feel.

Teaching my last Friday Yoga class that has been our Feel Good Friday for so many years .. bittersweet moment .. tissues at hand ♥️

Devotion has always been my compass.
Not the loud kind,
the quiet, steady, unwavering devotion that rises from the heart.

To guide my students is a privilege I never take for granted.
Your trust, your willingness to be held, your courage to soften…
these are the moments that remind me why I do this work.

My retreats are created with intention,
spaces of serenity where you can arrive exactly as you are,
where rest is not a luxury but a remembering,
where being is enough.

To all my students, to the places that have embraced us,
and to the extraordinary people who continue to walk beside me.
Thank you 🙏🏻
You are the heartbeat of this path.

Last night, after teaching my workshop, a message arrived that filled my heart in that quiet, unmistakable way, the way only truth does. Perhaps it lands deeper with my sabbatical coming up that
I want to share it with you.
Not for praise.
Not for popularity.
Not for anything that turns the light toward me.

But because it reminded me of the real pulse beneath this path.

Yoga is not mine to claim.
It is not something to perfect or perform.
It is something to tend, to honour, to pass on with reverence.

And the deepest magic, the part that humbles me again and again, is not what I teach, but how my students show up.
How they return to the mat with consistency.
How they breathe through the hard days.
How they choose presence over perfection.
How the practice transforms them because they are devoted, they are steady, they are willing.

The true beauty of yoga lives in the student’s dedication.
In their courage to meet themselves.
In the quiet, unseen moments when the practice becomes a way of being.

I am devoted to the yoga.
To the magic and the science.
To the lineage that has held me.
To my teachers, and to the students who have become teachers on my path without ever intending to be.

Your journeys humble me.
Your trust is something I bow to.

To the student who wrote to me last night, your words felt like a blessing placed gently in my hands.
To every student who has crossed my path, you are the reason I continue to learn, to listen, to offer.

And to all the wonderful yoga teachers out there:
I honour you.
Your light, your love, your devotion, your quiet service…
you carry this lineage forward through your presence, not your performance.
We walk this path together.

This practice is not something to own.
It is something to live.
Something to share.
Something to bow before.

Lokāḥ Samastāḥ Sukhino Bhavantu:
May all beings everywhere be happy and free
and may our offerings, however small, contribute to that freedom.

Thank you, yoga.
Thank you, yogis.
Thank you for letting me walk beside you.

♥️
Tessa
