I taught my first international yoga retreat at Neeleshwar Hermitage in Kerala this year and our Indian yoga home will stay in my heart forever. The vibrant beauty of nature, the rolling Arabian Sea and the golden Indian sun welcomed our mandala of community.

Yoga and ayurvedic traditions teach that the key to holistic well-being is balance.
The gunas are three aspects of nature present in all beings: tamas, earth, rajas, fire, sattva, light. Tamas creates a sense of stability and strength; inner trust, and faith; arising to stillness and serenity within. Tamas is the strong foundation that enables you to grow towards the infinite sky. Rajas has the energy of fire, dynamism, power, radiance and shine. Like the energy of the sun, rajas lifts tamas from the deep earth towards bright blue sky, infusing colour and vibrancy into life. Fire is the radiance of self, the brightness of being, your inner shine. Rajas fire, becomes tejas, light. Sattva is the luminosity of the soul, the serenity of spirit, the light of divine essence.

Our autumn yoga retreat took place at the stunning Cliffs of Moher Retreat. Our beautiful farmhouse was located in ten acres of rolling, green farmland, just a few fields from the world famous Cliffs of Moher. At the light of sunrise and the colour of sunset, the dramatic, rolling ocean waves break upon the rocks and bay. We immersed in the power of nature’s beauty.

Hill Farm is a beautiful, 500 year old, tudor retreat centre. It is set on a hill within three acres of peaceful farmland, located just outside the historic, medieval village of Lavenham.
In the morning, we experienced a water element Vinyasa Flow class, incorporating creative sequencing, arms balance, handstand and back bends. This dynamic, yet soulful practice was balanced with a sweet blend of restorative yoga to harmonise the body, mind and soul.

Svadyaya is the fourth niyama of Patanjali’s Eight Limbs of Yoga. ‘Sva’ means the Self and ‘Adyaya’ means lesson or reading; therefore, we bare witness to the Self through internal enquiry, meditation and yogic scriptures.
The journey of yoga is a deep dive into all aspects of the whole being: body, mind, heart and spirit. Svadyaya attunes us with the authentic Self, expanding our thoughts and hearts beyond limited perspectives, opening the sky of our highest potential. Read More…
The power of a thunder storm: the rolling roar of thunder, torrents of relentless rain, deep, dark clouds pierced by shafts of jagged, lightening daggers, An intense energy erupts from the sky, calling the angry clouds to gather; an explosion charged with uncontrollable, unstoppable power.
Yet, there is beauty, there is magic… Read More…
Gentle Heart
Mountain steps fall softly to the Earth,
Light hearts lift to the open skies,
Serenity blossoms like the mountain flower,
Rivers cry soft tears within their eyes.
Himalayan hills, soaring eagles fly,
Green valleys roll below the mountains high,
Vast forests weave textured shades of green,
Rhododendrons bloom, bursting colour to the sky.
