Awakened Heart

All Level ✺ 7 - 12 April 2026 ✺ La Viñuela, Andalusia, Spain

One of Yoga’s promises is to help us rediscover a space inside of ourselves that is beyond all sorrow ~ a joy or contentment that has literally no opposite; that can accompany us in all of life’s trials and tribulations, offering that promised space of peace and ease, the internal sweetness that will stand alongside us in what is, at times, undeniably hard.

Part of this rediscovery is in remembering the language and luminosity of the heart.

This retreat is an invitation to journey deep, deep within, into the cave of the heart, where the light of your own soul, the knowing of your inner teacher can begin to reveal itself to you. If you have felt at a crossroads, stuck in confusion or overwhelm, or simply find yourself at a place where you seek a deeper source of nourishment, then the work of the heart might be for you.

Together we’ll weave the wisdom bodies of Yoga, Ayurveda, Tantra & neuroscience into our week through contemplation, exploration of source wisdom and embodied practice where we can live in the question of “how do mind and heart meet?”

Mornings will comprise of a complete practice (asana, pranayama & meditation) that weave Yogic philosophy & understanding into the fabric of the experience. The afternoons will alternate between the restorative practices that help us to balance & regulate the nervous system, inviting deep rest into the cells of the body (Yoga Nidra, Yin Yoga, Sound Healing) and, or workshops that provide an opportunity to further unpack the teachings of Yoga and delve deeper into the heart.

Journalling and self enquiry will play an important role in our time together, as a means to spark greater clarity, growth and transformation. Mantra will also feature across the week as a way to further nurture & nourish the experience.

All levels are welcome – the only requirement is a curious heart.

Dolce Far Niente

Dolce Far Niente - The Sweetness of Doing Nothing

All Level ✺ 20-26 August ✺ In Sabina, Rieti, Italy

One of Yoga’s greatest gifts (of which there are many) is that it opens us to the simple sweet nothings that are really quite something. To see magic even in the most mundane. To appreciate more and more of life. To feel satisfaction simply because we exist.

When we start to slow down, there comes a point where we can land back into the somewhat familiar feeling of stillness and begin to remember what it is to be at ease within ourselves, and as such at ease within the world around us.

This retreat is an opportunity to do just that; to slow down and invite deep, replenishing rest into the cells of your body. To know nourishment as something that gives to you without taking anything else away. To find the deliciousness of space, and experience stillness as so much more than a physical act, and come to know it as a joyful feeling that arises under the right conditions.

Mornings will comprise of a complete practice (asana, pranayama & meditation) that weave Yogic philosophy/ understanding into the fabric of your experience. The afternoons will alternate between restorative practices that help us to balance & regulate the nervous system, inviting deep rest for body, mind & soul (Guided Relaxation, Yoga Nidra, Meditation etc) and, or workshops that provide an opportunity to further unpack some of Yoga’s essential teachings as it pertains to the power of presence, rest, and emotional resilience.

Journalling and self enquiry will play a large role in our experience together, as a means to spark greater clarity, growth and transformation.

Restoring Rhythms

Restoring Rhythms - Fully Booked

All Level ✺ 8-14 April ✺ La Viñuela, Andalusia, Spain

Yoga & Ayurveda place great importance on our understanding of the connection/ union between that which is taking place inside of us, and that which takes place outside of us. From the rhythms & polarities of day and night, to the changes of the seasons, to our sleep/ wake cycles and much, much more.How is it that we may learn to live in greater harmony and balance, by coming to both observe, and then better understand, the cycles within and without?

This retreat is an opportunity to dive a little deeper into the wisdom bodies of Yoga & Ayurveda, bringing together these two sister sciences by way of empowering your understanding of practice, and most especially, your experience of Self and life. Together we’ll explore traditional source wisdom, alongside the practices that help you to breathe life into that wisdom, in a way that feels both meaningful and effective for you.

Mornings will consist of a complete practice (asana, pranayama and meditation) weaving yogic philosophy/ understanding through the fabric of your experience. The afternoons will alternate between workshops, as an opportunity to further unpack some of Yoga & Ayurveda’s essential teachings; and, or restorative practices that help to balance and regulate the nervous system, inviting deep rest into the cells of the body, and marking that all important transition from the activity of the day, into the restful nurturance of night.

Journalling and self enquiry will play a large role in helping to spark deeper change, growth and transformation, as you come back step-by-step to a way of being that feels more nourishing and true to you. Experience some of the tools/ means that will support you in building the emotional, mental and physical resilience to meet with the totality of your life ~ in all of its sweetness, and all of its challenge, and every aspect of its unknowing
