Brooklands Barn, West Sussex29 – 31 May 2015, with Heidi Pascual, Yoga Artist
‘I left my soul down by the sea’ – Morcheeba
River flows to Ocean waves, a fairy tale castle in the distance.
This luxurious, 19th century converted barn is located just outside the historic town of Aundel, with breathtaking views of the River Arun, Arundel Castle and the Sussex Downs.
Situated in peaceful surroundings with panoramic views of stunning open countryside and river side walks; the sandy beaches and soulful sea nearby.
Brooklands Barn offers a luxurious setting with an indoor, heated pool; a yoga studio with wooden floors and a vaulted ceiling; and private gardens. Relax in the living spaces, which have comfortable furnishings, wooden floors, exposed beams and an inglenook fireplace. The dining area has floor to ceiling windows with stunning views onto the large courtyard, with al fresco dining on balmy, summer evenings.
Your food will be lovingly prepared by a professional caterer, offering creative, innovative vegetarian and raw food cuisine. A divine, delicious, gentle detox for total well-being.
Rave Reviews about Cashew Catering:
“I have just come back from a yoga retreat and am missing your incredible food already. Thank you so much for all the delicious treats and tasty dinners. They really were exceptional, I have never tasted vegetarian food like it.”
Rest, renew, rejuvenate in your beautiful, Brooklands bedroom.
On waking up in this stunning location, we will do an energising, yang Vinyasa Flow practice, blissfully infused with the grace of asana, flowing through breath towards a soft, meditative mind. Moving through beautiful sequencing and creative namaskars, we will explore elemental vinyasa: the Earth, the ocean, the sun, the sky, the stars, the universe within.
We are part of this exquisite world. There is an intricate web of beauty that weaves the light of the moon, the rays of the sun, the fragrance of the flowers, the harmony of nature with our being.
These soulful practices create a sense of connection, openness and vibrancy, leaving you feeling lovingly energised, uplifted and alive. In the afternoons we will surrender to a more restorative, yin practice, allowing your being to rest, renew and rejuvenate.
In your free time relax in the pool, enjoy the South Downs National Park, walk along the River Arun to Arundel and its medieval Castle, or simply chillax in our beautiful, luxurious, yet rustic, Brooklands Barn.
This retreat is a real treat and you truly deserve it!

‘Soul Flow’ Vinyasa Flow Yoga Retreat
The Mill Retreat Centre, France24 – 27 September 2015, with Heidi Pascual, Yoga Artist
2.5 hours from London by Eurostar and private coach – organised by Lotus Love Yoga.
Inspiration
When the ebb and flow of thought and emotion become still, like ripples disappearing upon the surface of deep lake, a sense of deep peace arises within our being.
The stillness of the lake begins to mirror the beauty of the world above: the infinite sky, the gently passing clouds, the rays of the sun, the green trees. Our exquisite world that blesses our days.
As the movements of mind begin to still, ‘citta vritti nirodah’, the soft light of the soul rises to illuminate the beauty of our being.
Retreat Location
Mill Retreat is located within thirty acres of beautiful grounds. It’s stunning, natural surroundings include a deeply peaceful lake; flowing rivers; a nature reserve; woodland and wildlife and wetland habitat. It is a paradise for nature’s diversity, from deer to otters and over 40 species of birds.
A running river flows beneath the renovated Mill, dating back to 1846. The Old Mill wheel has been restored so that it provides hydro-electricity for the entire Mill Retreat Centre; natural, ethical, green living ~ loving Mother Earth.
The Mill has typically French, rustic ambiance, with large windows, wooden shutters, wooden floors, and balconies overlooking the beautiful grounds. Each bedroom has a natural, unique interior; light, airy and spacious. There are also two traditional gypsy wagons to enhance your experience of the country retreat, Francais!
The yoga studio is made of entirely natural wood with a high, vaulted ceiling and skylights. The centre has a feeling of openness, lightness and sky. It is a wonderful location to absorb this sense of nature and sky inside.
The rustic, vegetarian, home-cooked food will nourish your body, served in the bright, beautiful dining room or on the open terrace overlooking the lake. There is an open fire in the entrance hall to welcome your arrival, and an outdoor fire circle to gather around in the evenings, surrounded by two flowing rivers. Connect to the elements of earth and water under the starry, night sky. Mill Retreat offers this absolute haven of peace, including yoga mats, blocks, bolsters and cushions, a meditation room, a rowing boat to explore the lake and six bikes to explore the grounds.
The owners believe that the ethos, energy and atmosphere of a place is enhanced by the people who use it; this intention is reflected in the beauty and peace of this stunning centre.
Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu: May all beings live in peace, freedom and happiness and may their actions contribute to the peace, freedom and happiness of others.
Vinyasa Flow Yoga
On waking up in this beautiful location, we will do an energising, yang Vinyasa Flow practice, blissfully infused with the grace of asana, flowing through breath towards a soft, meditative mind.
Moving through beautiful sequencing and creative namaskars, we will explore elemental vinyasa: the Earth, the ocean, the sun, the sky, the stars, the universe within.

Immerse your being in the beautiful practice of yoga, the peaceful countryside, the lake and the riverside walks. On day three of the retreat we will inspire our soul with a ‘Cultural Trip’ to the picturesque and quintessential ‘Monet’s Gardens’ in Giverny; it is a cultural highlight of Northern France.
The medieval town of Rouen, the capital of Normandy, is on route to Monet’s Gardens, just one hour from the Mill. The historical streets are lined with 15 century Tudor architecture and it is where Joan of Arc was executed in 1431. It has a stunning cathedral, a wonderful atmosphere and a perfect place enjoy a glass of wine, absorbing the French ambiance.
In the evenings, we will enjoy the delicious, wholesome, vegetarian food and the outdoor fire circle under the night sky with the blessing of the stars.
Your time to simply ‘be’ and absorb the peace and beauty of nature – bliss!

Porto Cevo, Costa Smeralda12 – 20 June 2015
I am over the moon to announce that I will be teaching Vinyasa Flow Yoga for Sardinia Yoga in June 2015. Yoga is experienced overlooking the emerald, blue sea, steps away from the golden sandy beach. You are surrounded by the stunning natural beauty of Costa Smeralda, enjoying blissful yoga, island boat trips, beautiful beaches and delicious Italian food…blissed-out.
Your two hour, energising morning class takes place on a private beachfront yoga space. Yoga is brought alive, as the sun shines in the sky and the sound of the sea ebbs and flows to splash the golden sands.
After a delicious, Italian brunch, the day is yours to explore the stunning, sandy beaches, swim in the sea, snorkel, cycle the island or simply relax by pool…feeling free under an open, blue sky. Optional sunset yoga classes and workshops will be offered in the late afternoon, if you wish to deepen your daily practice.
This is a wonderful yoga holiday, tailored to suit all abilities levels of yoga. I can’t wait to share this stunning yoga experience with you.
