Well it seems the warm spell has broken and temperatures have dropped back to normal, well done to everyone who joined us through the heatwave. We will always adapt our classes to suit the weather, enjoying a slower practice when it's warm. Last week Wendy taught a wonderful class focusing on breath and working in pairs. We hope you had fun and enjoyed your class.

There are some fabulous events coming up soon, we have a Summer Rejuvenating Retreat Day on Saturday 11th July (with afternoon tea) followed by our very popular Restorative yoga and Crystal Bowls Sound Healing Evening on Friday the 17th July (with home baked cookies). We would love you to join us. Please get in touch if you would like to book a space.

For our UK events, we do all our own catering, the Cloud Zen retreat is extra special as it's a whole weekend with full board. Adriana and Charlotte have worked as chalet hosts so their skills lend well to make the most wonderful meals, cakes, cookies and deserts. Our sound healing evenings, retreat days and weekends promise to delight your tastebuds as well as rejuvenating your body.

I am feeling so blessed to spend time with such lovely people. Our May retreat has now concluded and as it ends I reflect back on the amazing time we have shared together. We had some fabulous days out, a boat trip around the island with freshly prepared meals to enjoy on board, a cycle tour of the island, and the most enjoyable evening at a local winery with friends, where we were served a 5 course meal with paired wines followed by music and dancing. This photo was taken at the winery with the grape vines behind us.

For our yoga and Pilates practice we covered more than ever before, we enjoyed working our bodies a little harder, exploring moves, stretching out, and relaxing meditations enlightening our senses every day.

If you would like to join our September retreat, we have 2 rooms remaining. Please get in touch.

Dates:
Saturday 19th - 26th September
