Yoga retreat holidays to raise your vibration, drain your lymphatic system and cleanse your body/mind Kalimera! Sat Nam. Laura

Permanently closed.

I invite you to join me and a group of like-minded friends on a weekend yoga retreat in Jeffrey's Bay or St. Francis Bay in South Africa's eastern cape; or a one week yoga retreat immersion on the beautiful green Greek island of Skiathos - in the Sporades. I love being on the lookout for and discovering unique, tactile spaces in seaside global destinations to host yoga retreats which evoke 'that s

pecial tangible feeling' that some places just have. I look out for spaces that create an opportunity for you to deeply relax, go inward and heal; leaving with a calmer mind, more-opened heart and renewed energy for life. My personal yoga journey initially began as a tool to better manage my stress and anxiety in a career working as an Art Director-Designer in Advertising in the early 2000's. It soon became my therapy, my love and my life - a source of constant learning, un-learning, refinement of my personality and strengthening of my nervous system. I completed my RYT-200 hr Ashtanga-Vinyasa TTC in 2007 with Maria Taylor (Shaki Shanti) and since attended many one week Advanced Yoga Immersions with Shimon Ben Avi from Israel. In 2020 I completed a RYT-50 hr Yin Teacher Training with Caitlin Rose-Kenney from Colorado, online .In 2021 I completed my RYT-500 hr YTT with Jim Harrington in Cape Town. I have immense gratitude for my teachers above who have lit the way for me with their authentic teaching of Meditation, Pranayama, Yoga Philosophy, Asana - including Aditi Gaur, Leora Leibowitz, Tamsin Sheehy, Patrick Creelman and Viktor van der Kleij. The places I have been to and friends I have met along the way have become lifelong and are life-giving to me. Getting groups of people or friends together to connect, laugh, cry, share, grieve, celebrate is not only personally enriching but is necessary.

HOLI marks the arrival of Spring with vibrant festivities. This ancient Hindu festival symbolises the victory of good over evil, love, and the rejuvenation of nature; featuring bonfires, and colourful celebrations.

Even though we were in an Ashram (a very remote one) and in Silence; we celebrated - as there were a number of Indian students on our Intensive. Us Westerners learnt the story of Holika, who was the evil King’s sister and who had immunity to fire. She lured her nephew Prahlad into the flames to kill him, but it was she who got burnt and he came out unscathed. To this day, at Holi time, fires are lit and as they look into the flickering flames people remember the story of Holika and Prahlad and how good triumphs over evil. 🔥

When my Taxi Driver dropped me at the Himalaya Shanti Ashram sign; he was pleased that I had packed light as it was a steep climb down to the Ashram. After a quick selfie with him on his phone (standard procedure in India); down I walked into the Unknown. “If my friends and family could only see me now, they would be giggling” I thought; as I nervously giggled to my Self. An arc of bamboo and Ganesh welcomed me, followed by our Teacher, Sharatji, whom I had only met online. I went straight to the Ramana Maharshi Yoga Hall to join the 28 other students; where I would spend many many hours Hanging, Learning, Practicing, Growing and Meditating - over the next three weeks. We were all there for Pranic Healing, and the poses in Sharat Aurora’s Iyenger Yoga Method do just that. They heal on a Physical, Mental, Emotional, Energetic and Cellular Level. My mind nor body will never forget what I have learned. I will be back for the Teacher Training to share with you all one day 💛💚

Remembering Thay today on the 3rd anniversary of his death 20.01.22. Little did I know back then, how spending a Day of Mindfulness (early April 2022), would offer me much light, comfort and peace in many many dark moments still lying ahead of me. His books are the most treasured on my bookshelf; and this artwork (from a book bag) too. This little book jumped out at me in Cape Town recently. If you are too struggling with Grief, it’s a gem 💎

Yesterday evening our local kundalini yoga community were honoured by experiencing a poignant cacao ceremony led by Meg - in the most beautiful setting. We had had the most special morning class led by we floated out of it having grown butterfly 🦋 wings. I felt my sister, Gina’s, presence and spirit so strongly, she is free and happy. I feel so very grateful to be living here, alongside spiritual, loving and kind beings. Thank you for making mr feel safe enough to share my heart. I feel like I am exactly where I am meant to be; the dust has been shaken and shaken, but has now settled 🌸🙏💜

“All good things are wild and free” Happy Himalayan memories snuck off Rick’s old phone before he lost everything. Dreaming of returning to continue the journey.. 🏔️🌳🪷🦋♥️🌞🥾🧘‍♀️

A long-awaited pilgrimage returning to India with my teacher Jim, after a decade. This time nestled higher up in the Himalayas; in an ashram surrounded by tall cedar tree forests and gazing at the giant snow-capped mountains we were yet to climb. In an area delicately and colourfully woven together with Hindu & Tibetan Buddhist energy, people, philosophy, practices and prayers. Lord Shiva and Dalai Lama Temples; Hindu Deity offerings and Tibetan prayer flags & prayer wheels. A time to turn the noise dials right down; breathe from our bellies, train our minds and also our bodies for what lay ahead of us. 🏔️ Laura Wall Rick Wall

The Lion’s Gate portal opens up on 8/8. The number eight is a magical number because it aligns with success and transformation. It has a lot of tenacity, strength, and wisdom that can help us evolve at a higher level.
Prosperity and abundance come naturally to the number eight, which is why it’s a rich day to manifest your dreams. They will come true, as long as you are honest and concise with what you desire.
You will prosper and change (we all will) from the visions that are brought to life on 8/8 from the Lion’s Gate portal. ✨✨✨

I found this image the other day by happenchance. A frozen moment in time captured by my husband on my first Greece retreat six years a go. when the sea sparkles like that!✨✨✨
I don’t ever remember seeing it before and I don’t remember the exact moment. It reminds of an impressionable podcast I listened to on the weekend, on Surfer’s Journal ‘Soundings’ interviewing the Hawaiian surfer Gerry Lopez. He says he doesn’t remember any of the waves he surfed at Pipeline because she was so immersed in the moment. He talks about his relationship with surfing and yoga and the importance of a meditative practice in and out of water. A great listen 🎧🤍
