Retreats, past

Introduction

Our retreats are held in unspoilt magical locations, mostly in Europe and we place great importance on offering inspiring, nutritious vegetarian food. During the retreats we focus deeply on various aspects of the yoga – the emphasis of the teaching is on building a personal practice within the ashtanga system. The approach is non-dogmatic, laid-back, enjoyable but disciplined! During the morning there is a strong ashtanga practice and during the afternoon sessions we explore pranayama and meditation along with some restorative yoga, tai chi and qigong.
