Turkey Retreat

Over the moon to present a 7 day retreat at Grenadine Lodge, a small yoga hotel in the Köyceğiz-Dalyan Nature Reserve between the village and the beach. With two swimming pools, two yoga shalas and a Turkish tree house where we can relax or meditate.

We arrive on Monday May 5th and depart on Monday May 12th (Full ‘Flower’ Moon!)

Dalyan known for miles of beautiful unspoilt beaches, a conservation area for the loggerhead sea turtle, Ancient ruins, mud baths, hot springs and great food.

I will lead 2 yoga classes daily in one of the two yoga shalas overlooking a pomegranate field with 1 day off to allow us to go further afield.

90 minute Morning Flow Yoga mindfully sequenced to allow a deep dive into the day's anatomical and philosophical theme.  With options for differing energy levels and individual help offered to support progression.

90 minute Evening Restorative slow flow/yin yoga with sacred sound.
I will offer oils-based techniques for the neck and shoulders and close the practise with sacred sound/mantra with harmonium to sooth the nervous system further. 

There is a mid-week break which we could use to either relax by the pool or explore the surrounding area; a boat trip, turtle sanctuary, trip to a waterfall, amber forests, the ancient temple site of Kaunos..

There are also hotel bikes we can use for a lovely easy 10 minute cycle into town or hop on a bus, 15 minutes to both the town or the beach.

Prices for my students start at £645 Sharing, £795 Single.

Kissamos Retreat

to Oct 15

Kissamos Retreat

Sun, Sea & Yoga in beautiful Crete.


Kissamos, or Kastelli, offers a blend of local charm and seaside beauty, with its cobbled streets leading to traditional Cretan eateries by the sea. Our yoga retreat, located at the lovely Mavros Molos beach, has a yoga deck overlooking the calm clear sea.

The venue, a favourite among Greek tourists, is set against a dramatic mountainous backdrop, with options for hiking and trips to larger beaches and the organic olive oil groves at Astrikas in the local area.

Our hosts Michalis and Maria own the beachside taverna. They will be feeding us after the morning yoga class and on selected evenings during the week - we are keeping some evenings spare so we can visit the restaurants of Chania.

Maria is a fantastic cook and during the week there will be the option of attending a cookery class where we will be taught how to prepare traditional Greek vegetarian meals. - yum!

A Week of Yoga and Dance in the Stunning French Pyrenees.
Apr

to Apr 21

A Week of Yoga and Dance in the Stunning French Pyrenees.

  • Quelebu Aleu, Occitanie, 09320 France (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

From Sun 15th – Sun 22nd April 2018 we will be running a week long residency aimed at professional, semi professional and degree stage dancers. Based in the truly magical Couserans Pyrénées, you will find space and time to reflect, form new ideas, escape the noise of the city and to connect with nature – a rare opportunity for professional dancers in the rush from rehearsals to theatre.

The course comprises 6 days of yoga, dance and choreography lead by four talented professional teachers – Lewis Wilkins, Matt Cleary, Anders Duckworth and Joelle Green. With places limited to just 16 dancers (including 4 non-residential places) an intensive learning experience is assured.

Each day will start with an hour of yoga, followed by three 90 minutes classes with a break for lunch. The classes will offer the opportunity to improve technique, collaborate and to explore new ways of movement and expression. This will culminate in new pieces of choreography which will form part of a larger performance open to the public on the final evening.

The price of the residential course is £435 (485 euros) inclusive of transfers from Toulouse Blagnac Airport, gite accommodation and all meals. 4 non-residential places are also being offered to local dancers of suitable ability/experience who are able to travel each day to the venue. The price of the non-residential course is 200 euros.
