Isn’t the idea of retreating that we GET AWAY from things that push us to strive and compare and force…?

That we WITHDRAW, move back, find secluded places to REST…?

Sanctuary Retreat is literally the living dictionary definition of RETREAT.

That’s why I don’t have endless photos of what we do.

It’s an experience.

Not a content creation weekend.

Of course you wanna have a nice time, it has to be COSY. Our farmhouse is gorgeous. And does make some s3xy meals….

If one wants to follow the real guidelines of yoga - Pratyahara, Dhāraṇā, Svādhyāya, Santosha - one doesn’t need to be photographed throughout.

This is a weekend to deepen your practice, not in asana but in relationship to YOURSELF, and your relationship to nature. Full NOURISHMENT in all ways.

We’re almost off-grid, we practice outdoors, we eat alongside the peacock, we go wild swimming and tree-hugging. And we don’t care whether our joggers match our hoodie.

It’s simple a hygge and friendly weekend of completely chilling out and enjoying yourself without any constraints…

If this resonates with you, and you want to grasp THE ART OF BALANCE, join us for this fully sense-soothing weekend in the Swedish forest.

* 1-4 October 2026
* 1.5 hours from Copenhagen.
* 3x meals a day.
* 3x practices a day.
* Sauna, tub, nature, seclusion…

The info is all up on my profile ❤️

Really - the clue is in the name.

What is an Advanced class?

This question has come up between a few colleagues recently. I’m feeling a bit of a backlash to stand up for yoga practice amongst an industry that’s being flooded with fitness. Because sadly / somehow, yoga has been pushed into the same sector as fitness. Should it be, or should it not be….? That’s a bigger discussion.

But here we are:

Are we talking about being able to hold a headstand for ten breaths, or even twenty?
Do some crazy arm balance transitions and jump back to Chaturanga after a chin-stand?

A lot of people these days think that an advanced class means doing more crazy things with their body - which is advanced performance skills and acrobatics, but not advanced yoga.

Asana is not all there is to yoga.
And it’s starting to grate on me continually having to explain this….

What is happening with the rest of your body and your yoga, amongst all of the high energy movements and poses?
Are you breathing?
Are you focusing?
Are you regulating and observing?
What part of your psyche is developing?

There’s a considerable a difference between ADVANCED and ADVANCING.

Advanced means a fixed and completed state of being.

Advancing means a continually moving and changing force.

Yoga is not a thing to complete. One does not complete yoga.

Yoga is a continually moving part of life and you are a continually changing being.

An advanced class could be one which becomes more complex not in its approach to fast-paced asana and performance, but to other aspects of yoga. It could offer more insights into the Sutras or other texts, in its offering of meditation, pratyahara, pranayama, and so on.

In a world where people favour pushing boundaries and going wild to continuously achieve, how about achieving something really crazy…?

Like finding the ability to sit still and quiet for ten whole minutes…

Isn’t that what the Sages wrote, thousands of years ago…..? 🫣

Reflecting on the Saturdays in May, spent with this year’s CPH Elemental Yin team 💫

I love love love teaching this course, in this way, with these type of adventurers!

Everyone brings their own understanding and experience into the circle, and we share and we learn and we play games and we laugh.

And then if Mother Earth likes us and gifts us good weather, we go out with a picnic and jump into the ocean 🌊

Four solid days, exploring bones and movement, postural conditioning and energy circulation, philosophy and physiology, watching Gil Hedley videos and experimenting with props and pretend injuries…. And there must’ve been more. Lots of practice and journaling too.

If you like this, we’ll do it again next year - in Copes and Leeds and maybe somewhere else (hit me up with your studio contacts).

Happy Sunday folks…. 👋🏼

There’s a bunch of things I’ve got to share with you, if you head to my profile for a nosey.

I’m in the business of creating balance, ironing out the disruption of busy-ness, stepping into using my skills and DECADES of experience and knowledge to create a bit of ease for you.

If you fancy a bit of that, EASE, then join me for something - maybe something small near home, maybe something bigger further afar ✈️

Let me know if you’ve got any questions loves ❤️
