✨ Feast for the eyes at La Rosa ✨

Digestion begins long before the first bite, the colours, textures, and beauty on the plate awaken the senses and prepare the body to receive nourishment.

Food, nourishment, and sensory awareness are woven into every retreat I host, because how we eat is as important as what we eat.

When the retreat turns into a Vogue editorial. 😃
Lazy afternoons, sunshine, and spontaneous photo shoots — because retreat life is that fabulous. A little wrap of our Puglia magic is coming soon… watch this space. ✨

Saturday stillness — beneath the summer rain
Today at we return to the quiet within. A gentle practice of breath, awareness, and presence.
We will soften into stillness, and anchor ourselves like the deep ocean — undisturbed by the surface waves.

Join at 10:45-12

No need to fix or force. Just be.
Breathe.
Feel.
And let the silence speak.

🕉️ Om Namah Shivaya Guraveh
🧘🏼‍♀️ All welcome

Summer is full of life — long days, bright skies, so much energy in the air.
But even in the heat, we’re allowed to pause. To soften. To receive.

Rose oil, watermelon, a breath that moves all the way down to the feet…
This season is a dance between fire and flow.

Let this be your reminder:
You don’t have to push.
You can just be.

And a reminder I am teaching at Saturdays 10:45am join us we will keep it cool and fresh for you 😃

In Ayurveda, food is more than fuel — it’s a bridge between the external world and your inner being. When we pause before a meal, offer a blessing, or simply bring presence to the act of eating, we honour the miracle of transformation: that what is not us becomes us.

Creating a simple ritual around meals — a few breaths, a prayer, or a moment of gratitude — shifts us from stress to stillness. It calms the nervous system, supports digestion, and invites a sense of reverence into everyday life.

It’s not about being perfect. It’s about being present.

Soulful Sunday on Zoom | 9am BST
🔥🍯 Fire & Nectar for your shoulders
A slow burn to awaken strength
A soft landing to invite release
Because the shoulders carry so much — let’s give them some love.
(Shoulders, shoulders, shoulders… did I say shoulders? 😄)

SUMMER SOLSTICE
————————
The longest day, the peak of light.
A moment to honour the fire within, the fullness of your becoming.

I made you a little solstice gift — a simple ritual, a gentle practice, and a cooling rose drink to help you pause and realign with the rhythm of the season.

May this be a time to soak in the warmth, feel the earth beneath you, and remember:
you are light made visible.

With sunshine,

This is one of my preferred, rich, warm beverages for Fall and Winter (pertinent to my Northern Hemisphere friends at the moment).

It has a nourishing and comforting quality, similar to coffee but without the intense bitterness or stimulating effects.

Raw cacao, which is not roasted, offers a milder, less intense flavor compared to its roasted counterpart.

It nourishes blood and helps to pacify the Vata dosha, without causing any imbalances in the Kapha dosha (if you add a pinch of saffron, cinnamon, or a touch of cayenne pepper while omitting the salt).

Similarly, it is also gentle on the Pitta dosha (especially when you add a pinch of cardamom and omit the salt).

I enjoy adjusting the spices based on the seasons, using more warming spices during cooler seasons and cooler ones during warmer seasons.

Apana Vayu is the energy that moves and expels outward and downwards. Associated with the root chakra and the earth element
About letting go. Forgiveness. Exhaling sweating and elimination
Are all movements of this subtle prana.

To strengthen this vayu I recommend GROUNDING poses and longer exhalation
