RETURNING TO THE ROOTS OF YOGA

Join me in the sacred city of Rishikesh, nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas, for an immersive 15-night Panchakarma retreat designed to nourish, restore and transform.

Our days begin in the traditional way, with morning puja, journalling, meditation and gentle yoga as the sun rises over the Ganges. From there, you will move into your personalised Ayurvedic treatments and healing practices, allowing the body, mind and spirit to gently return to balance.

This retreat has been carefully timed to coincide with part of the International Yoga Festival, one of the most vibrant and inspiring times to be in Rishikesh. Yogis, teachers and seekers from around the world gather here, creating an atmosphere of devotion, learning and transformation unlike anywhere else.

You do not need to be an accomplished yogi to join this journey. What is needed is a willingness to show up, to slow down, and to gently release what has been held in the body and mind. The real transformation comes not from mastering poses, but from creating space for healing, awareness and change.

India has a beautiful way of opening the heart, expanding perspective and inviting profound inner transformation. Whether you are seeking healing, clarity, connection or simply time to reconnect with yourself, this journey offers a unique opportunity to experience yoga and Ayurveda at their source.

2027 Panchakarma Retreat

šŸ“… March 11 – March 26, 2027

A small number of spaces are still available.

If you feel called to join this extraordinary journey, please send me a message for more information.

Sometimes the greatest healing begins when we return to the roots.

With love and light,

Wandering through these beautiful little streets and laneways, I keep finding the most incredible wall art and murals. Every corner seems to tell a story — vibrant colours, sacred symbols, smiling faces and creative expressions woven into the spirit of this place. It adds so much beauty and character to the area and feels like art and spirituality quietly living side by side. Sharing a few little pieces that caught my eye along the way over the years I have been coming to this divine place.

I hope you enjoy ✨🧔✨🧔

And the journey begins… āœØšŸ‡®šŸ‡³

I’m off to India for the next 6 weeks to immerse myself in the beautiful wisdom of Jyotish — the ancient Vedic science of light, insight, and deeper understanding. šŸŒ™āœØ

During this time, I’ll be away from the clinic and will return in early July.

If you’re needing any products, would like to chat about programmes, or have any questions while I’m away, please message me via FB, IG or WhatsApp.

Beautiful Sandy will be available to assist you with all product enquiries and support while I’m gone šŸ¤

I am also taking bookings for July now, so if you’d like to secure an appointment for when I return to the clinic, please DM or text me.

Thank you for your love, support and understanding as I step into this next chapter of learning and growth.

With love and light ✨

Have you felt that quiet pull to journey to India?

Like something in you knows it’s time to reset?

This retreat to India isn’t a holiday—it’s a return!

A return to clarity, calm, and a body that feels like yours again.

We’ll be held by a experienced Ayurvedic doctor and therapists, immersed in ceremony, stillness, and deep rest.

Sharing these beautiful words from Sonya after the very first retreat I hosted in 2023 šŸ¤

This experience is deeply healing on so many levels. It gently guides us back to ourselves—helping us reconnect with who we truly are, while also nurturing our relationships with our children, our loved ones, and the world around us.

It offers space to soften, to surrender, and to release the weight we often carry without even realising. In that space, something shifts—new friendships are formed, meaningful bonds emerge, and we begin to let go of the stories that no longer serve us.

There is a quiet magic in India… a deep spiritual energy that invites you to slow down, to listen, and to rediscover yourself in the most profound way.

I would love for you to join me on one of the 2026 Ayurvedic Wellness Retreats ✨

Dates:
February 21 – March 8, 2027 (currently booked – waitlist available)
March 11 – March 26, 2027

I look forward to sharing this beautiful journey with you.

India is calling ✨🧔✨🧔

In just a few weeks, I’ll be heading north of Rishikesh for an immersive 6-week training in Jyotish—the ancient Vedic science of light, often known as Vedic astrology. It’s a deeply insightful system that maps the relationship between cosmic patterns and our inner world, offering guidance, clarity, and a profound understanding of life’s cycles.

I’m beyond excited to dive deeper into this wisdom and bring it back into the clinic—integrating it in a way that supports you with even more clarity, alignment, and personalised care 🌿

My last day in clinic before I leave is May 13. If you’d like to book an appointment for when I return, or if you need to pick up any products before I go, please send me a text or DM šŸ’Œ

Can’t wait to share this journey with you all… India, here I come šŸ‡®šŸ‡³āœØ

🌿 Ayurvedic Oral Care Ritual: Why It Matters

• Rooted in the ancient system of Ayurveda, daily oral care is about more than just clean teeth—it’s about whole-body wellness

• The mouth is considered the gateway to the body, and removing toxins (ama) supports digestion, immunity, and overall balance

šŸ‘… Tongue Scraping: A Daily Detox Essential

• Helps remove bacteria, toxins, and debris that build up overnight

• Supports fresher breath and enhances your sense of taste

• Stimulates internal organs through reflex points on the tongue

• Can improve digestion by activating saliva and digestive enzymes

• Best done first thing in the morning before eating or drinking

šŸ›¢ļø Oil Pulling: Nourish + Protect

• An ancient practice of swishing oil in the mouth to draw out toxins

• Traditionally uses sesame oil for its warming, antibacterial properties

• Supports healthy gums, teeth, throat, and even vocal clarity

• Helps reduce plaque and promote a naturally brighter smile

• Leaves your mouth feeling clean, hydrated, and balanced

✨ How to Practice the Ritual

1. Start with tongue scraping (5–10 gentle strokes)
2. Follow with oil pulling (swish for 5–10 minutes)
3. Spit out the oil (never swallow) and rinse well
4. Brush your teeth as usual

🌟 My Personal Favourite

• I use Dr. Tung’s Oil Pulling Concentrate because of its potent blend of sesame oil and 24 synergistic botanicals

• It tastes amazing (which is rare for oil pulling!) and leaves my mouth feeling incredibly fresh

• I often recommend diluting it 2:1 due to its strength

• Now available at Body and Beyond šŸ™Œ

šŸ’« Make It a Ritual

Pair oil pulling with tongue scraping daily and feel the difference—not just in your mouth, but in your overall wellbeing šŸ˜œšŸ˜‰šŸŒŸ

ENJOY šŸ˜‰

At the beginning of every retreat, we come together in sacred ceremony, opening with a Havan—an ancient fire ritual that calls in purification, clarity, and renewal. šŸ”„

As the fire is lit, we are invited to soften… to arrive fully… and to witness what we’ve been carrying. Into the flames, we offer the weight of old stories, limiting beliefs, past hurts, expectations, self-doubt, and the patterns that have kept us feeling small or disconnected. We release the need to control, the pressure to be anything other than who we are, and the emotional residue we no longer need to hold.

With each offering, the fire becomes a portal—transmuting what we let go of into light. Creating space for clarity, expansion, and truth to rise.

This is a moment of surrender… a homecoming to yourself. A sacred reset where we set intentions not just for what we want to call in—but for who we are ready to become.

Together, we choose to let go, to elevate, to expand. ✨

March 11–25, 2027

You’re invited to join our next retreat.

A divine sunrise on the eve of the Pink Full Moon šŸŒ•āœØ

Tonight’s Pink Full Moon symbolises renewal, growth, and fresh beginnings—perfectly aligned with the season of change and the blossoming energy of autumn. Traditionally named after the blooming pink phlox flowers, this moon invites us to release what no longer serves us and step gently into a new chapter with clarity and intention.

As it rises on the eve of the Easter break, it carries a beautiful energy of reflection, hope, and rebirth 🌿

Wishing everyone a blessed and peaceful Easter break, filled with love, rest, and renewal šŸ’›šŸ’«
