To study yoga is to study ourselves, paying attention to what really is going on under the skin. This may be as simple as understanding what it is to straighten a leg. Or it may go down into much deeper emotional and spiritual layers. The art of yoga lies in the fact that it is our responsibility to find out and change direction if necessary. This requires discipline, together with a belief in our own capacity to transform.

This week we are running our New Year Intensive and it has been wonderful to see so many of you on the mat. Yoga intensives offer a unique opportunity to pause and reflect on where we are at physically, emotionally, intellectually and spiritually.

Through consistent and refined practice, we begin to explore the yogasanas with greater clarity and depth. This often challenges our existing habits and perceptions, opening space for new understanding and fresh possibilities. Practising in this way can gently shift how we move, think and engage, while starting each day feeling refreshed and energised.

The intensive runs from Monday 5 to Friday 9 January 2026, with daily classes from 6.30 to 8.30am, finishing with a deep restorative class on the final day.

If you are interested in dropping into one or two sessions, please contact Helen to check availability as we are close to capacity.

In the Yoga Sutras, Patanjali reminds us that a yoga posture should be both steady and joyful. Sthira Sukham. Effort balanced with ease.

In practice, this might look like grounding through the legs while softening the breath, or engaging strength while allowing the face and neck to relax. In meditation, it is an alert mind that remains open and at ease. In daily life, it is finding balance between holding on too tightly and letting go completely.

When steadiness and ease coexist, the practice becomes quieter, more sustainable and more nourishing. A reminder that yoga is not about forcing or collapsing, but about meeting each moment with strength, softness and care.

Italian Iyengar Yoga Retreat
San Quirico d’Orcia, Tuscany
Sunday 13 to Sunday 20 September 2026

We are delighted to announce our second Iyengar Yoga retreat in the beautiful medieval village of San Quirico d’Orcia, set in the heart of the Tuscan countryside.

This week long retreat will include approximately 30 hours of yoga practice, with a balanced program of pranayama, asana and restorative classes. The retreat is designed to support steady practice while allowing space to rest, explore and enjoy the rhythm of daily life in Tuscany.

Alongside yoga, the week will include visits to local attractions and shared Tuscan meals hosted by local residents Antonio and Valentina. These experiences are included as part of the retreat and offer a meaningful connection to the region and its culture.

The cost of the retreat is $1400, excluding accommodation. Accommodation in San Quirico d’Orcia is reasonably priced, and we will be happy to assist with recommendations and logistics, including travel to and from the village.
