Thanks to this very special group who brought their energy and enthusiasm to France last week for the first of what I hope will be many retreats here to come. Thanks especially to @meganamylee for her invaluable assistance in the yoga space (and kitchen! 👩‍🍳😄). I loved teaching you all and your friendship and positivity made all the difference. Dates will be posted on the website soon for April and June 2025 (with a 10-day YTT immersion in May). Meanwhile, I’ll be back in Ireland for the first of October’s Saturday Sangha in just a few weeks. And online on Wednesday mornings in the meantime. 🧘‍♀️🧘🏽See you all soon! ❤️❤️❤️🥰

Huge thanks to Joey and Rachel @joey_miles_yoga for all the love, passion and hard work they put into organising this magical retreat in France last week. We had lovely, long asana and meditation practices, inspiring workshops, beautiful forest walks, lake and river swimming, delicious food, and, most importantly, great company! Thanks to all the lovely people around me every morning who helped create the group energy that makes a Mysore space so special. I feel rested and rejuvenated, with batteries fully recharged for the teaching term ahead. Already looking forward to next year!

Farm to table at Yoga In Salento means exactly that. What a privilege it was to see the crops growing as we walked to the shala for practice - knowing we were looking at the organic healthy food we’d be enjoying at brunch and dinner. And then there was the magic the chefs pulled off! Never the same dish twice, wonderful flavours and so much choice - Fantastico! 😋😋😋❤️

Join me in France

September 4 - 8, 2024

Immersing yourself in yoga for a few days is one of the best ways to deepen your practice. This workshop will will include daily Mysore-style practice and afternoon classes, including Yin Yoga, Pranayama and Meditation and Yoga Nidra, as well as discussion on the theory and philosophy behind yoga and why it is such a powerful tool for life. You’ll have plenty of downtime time too, so you can explore this very beautiful area during the afternoons and evenings.

The Location

The workshop will take place in in Saint Quentin La Poterie, a vibrant, picturesque village in the south of France near the historic town of Uzés (between Montpellier and Nimes). The village is famous for its ceramics and was awarded the “Ville et Métiers d’Art” (Arts & Crafts City) honour by the State. Saint Quentin La Poterie is just 3km from the beautiful, historic town of Uzès, with its stunning architecture, eclectic mix of shops and cafés and wide choice of restaurants – everything from great pizza to fine dining is on offer. The area is green, tranquil and unspoilt by too much tourism, yet still offers plenty to do and see. Uzès is a town where people live and work, with its bustling Saturday market catering to the locals, not just tourists. It’s in the heart of France’s Languedoc/Provencal region, with Nimes and Avignon just 45 minutes’ drive away, Montpellier and Marseilles are also within 90 minutes by car. The Pont du Gard (built in the 1st century AD) is one of the region’s most famous tourist attractions and just 20 minutes’ drive away, with a beautiful spot for river swimming and kayaking en route.

The studio is a 10-minute walk from the centre of Saint Quentin La Poterie. Designed to make the most of natural light and sunshine, it looks onto a large garden and patio area where students can relax after class and enjoy brunch and a swim in the salt-water pool.

8 places only. Find out more and book via DM or link in bio

The Transformative Power of a Yoga Retreat: 6 Reas

The Transformative Power of a Yoga Retreat: 6 Reasons It Works.
.
The first Western Ashtangis – the likes of David Swenson, David Williams, Nancy Gilgoff and Kathy Cooper – were in their early twenties when they found themselves in Mysore, India. Kathy Cooper will regale you with tales of how she flew through the Primary and Intermediate series in a matter of months, practising six days a week for extended periods with her buddies. She was one of just a handful of students under the tutelage of Pattabhi Jois, who developed the Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga system in Mysore, India.

It was the 1970s, and these were free and easy times for these young people who were to become the famous “first generation” of Western Ashtanga practitioners. They had travelled overland to India in search of adventure, with young bodies, buckets of enthusiasm and very few responsibilities in life. They’d be the first to point out how these conditions gave them all a head start. It was, in fact, like being on a long-term yoga retreat. No wonder they quickly absorbed the practice in body, mind and soul. And that yoga went on to quite literally transform their lives forever.

For most people coming to yoga in the West these days, the option to drop everything and relocate to India for months at a time is not on the table. And those who do make it have a very different experience to that of those early practitioners.

However, immersing yourself in yoga for an extended period remains one of the best ways to get serious about integrating yoga into your life. I was lucky to have an older, wiser teacher hammer this home to me when I first fell in love with Ashtanga and lamented that I couldn’t just drop everything (children, mortgage, career) and jump on a plane to India. She told me to “always have something booked – whatever you can manage”. She suggested a short retreat, a week or weekend, or even a day-long intensive with a respected teacher. It’s advice I pass on to my students today (and still stick to myself). Here’s why: (link to read full blog post in bio)

Graduation day smiles from this lovely group who graduated yesterday after 4 months of seriously dedicated practice and study. It’s such a joy to be with people as they develop a profound understanding of what real yoga is all about. Everyone here will certainly have yoga as a tool for life and I can’t thank them all enough for being such engaged, hard-working and fun participants on this 200-hour YTT. Thanks as always to Ingrid Jaanisoo @greystonesyoga for her great support and contribution to the course, to Daniel Simpson @truthofyoga for his accessible yoga philosophy teachings, and to @brahmini_soujanya for her wonderful talk on The Bhagavad Gita.

There’s nothing quite like being on retreat, abandoning all of the responsibilities of normal daily life and taking the time to enjoy long yoga practices, delicious, organic and locally grown food, downtime by the pool, at the beach or at the onsite spa and wellness centre at Yoga In Salento. I’m really looking forward to teaching in this gorgeous, purpose-built yoga retreat centre in one of Italy’s most beautiful regions. I’d love to see some familiar faces (and new ones too) at this retreat. You can find out more and book at Yoga In Salento, link in bio or DM me for more information.

Sunday Mysore-style class In a Mysore-style class

Sunday Mysore-style class

In a Mysore-style class, you practise in a group setting with one-to-one guidance from your teacher, so you develop a practice over time that works for your unique body, ability and stage of life. It means you are working with the Ashtanga sequence in an intelligent, personalised way, in a calm, quiet environment, with all the support that comes from the energy of those practising around you. Sunday Mysore-style class starts up again this weekend, on Sunday the 7th. You can come anytime from 9 am to finish your practice by 11 am, so working to whatever length of time is appropriate for you within the 2-hour window. All levels, including beginners, are welcome. Book your place via link in bio

Take a breath. It’s Christmastime. 🎄🧑🏼‍🎄⭐️

Whether you embrace Christmas and all the razzmatazz that comes with it, or you’d rather bury your head under the duvet until it’s all over, the chances are the stress will get to you, one way or another, before the 25th.

You might be tasked with putting on the perfect performance from Santa for your kids, navigating complicated family relationships, dreading the office party, or struggling to balance your yoga lifestyle with the heady social demands of the season. Maybe you’re just trying to find a way to slip quietly away and avoid the whole business without causing hurt and offence.

For most of us, there’s no escaping the slow and steady build-up of stress levels as we approach the big day. So, if ever there was a time to sit, breathe and work on cultivating that magical ability to pause before we react (the gift that meditation gives us), it’s right now.

Spending time with our nearest and dearest brings the biggest challenges for many of us. Much as we may love what the therapists call our family of origin, we all tend to slip back into our well-established childhood roles when we get together with extended family. And while the role we subconsciously adopted as a child may have served us well back in the day, responding to a present-day experience from the perspective of your 9-year-old self generally doesn’t end well. Yet, nowhere is quite as triggering as sitting around a table with those who know how to push your buttons. But are they pushing your buttons, or are you just reacting out of long-ingrained habits?

Sunday chocolate alert 😋:
For anyone missing my post-practice treats while I’m away, the recipe for these delicious, raw, cacao-laden delights is now up on my website (link in bio). Raw cacao is an extremely rich source of antioxidants, essential minerals, fibre and even protein. The sweetness here comes from dates and they’re bound together with coconut oil and almond butter. All in all, only goodness (depending, of course, on how many you consume! 🤣) Best of all, no baking involved. Enjoy, and see you in October!
