I offer affordable yoga retreats in the British mountains. My intention is for you to be able to deepen and improve your yoga practice, then to take the skills you acquire on the mat and take them into the outdoor world. After a realisation of the obvious connection between my Yoga practice and my love of the outdoors, these retreats were created to enable me to share my experiences both on and off the mat with you. During these retreats you have the opportunity to learn new skills or develop existing ones and to hopefully challenge yourself in new ways. In 2017 we are running yoga, rock climbing and mountain walking in the Lake District, North Wales and Bulgaria. More retreats and experiences will be on offer in 2018! Allow us to show you what yoga can really do for you and practise with us in some of the UK's most stunning landscapes. Explore both your practice and the mountains in ways you never have before.

Yet another life affirming weekend- ashtanga yoga spring retreat, escaping from the world for a few days with a group of the most gorgeous people.

We had no phone signal or internet - instead we practised yoga, chanted, talked, wrote in journals, lay on bolsters, had massages, walked, watched the sun rise, shared our hopes and dreams, set intentions, read books by the fire, listened to the dawn chorus, ate amazing food….

Returning home full of the joys of spring and the potential in everybody ❤️🌱🌼

Morning yoga classes in Todmorden. - Tuesday and Thursday 8-8.45 am

Loving teaching my women's yoga class every Tuesday 8-8.45 am at Union House in Tod. Lots of movement, some breathwork, a few classic yoga postures and a few more challenging ones thrown in, sometimes some chanting and always relaxation. The perfect way to start your day - it gets you out of the house, moving, breathing, seeing other people - then you can be back at your desk or getting on with your day by 9am.

New class starting this Thursday - also at Union House 8-8.45 am - open to everyone. Just turn up or message me if you need more info. Please help me spread the word.

Looking forward to seeing you on the mat xx

The theme for last weekend’s yoga retreat was autumn, embracing the transition as we move through autumn and towards winter. Embracing the elements. Starting morning practice in the dark. Reconnecting with nature, being aware of the natural world around us, collecting, nuts, seeds, leaves and berries to create an autumnal mandala. Thinking about we needed to sustain us through the winter and what we need to leave behind. Setting intentions for the winter ahead. Fires both indoors and out.

The perfect way to mark this time of year 🧡

Ashtanga yoga autumn long weekend in North Yorkshire. So lovely to be able to hold a retreat again - my first in two years. So great to be able to see old friends again and meet new people, what a fabulous community all coming together and working as one big family.

We practised yoga, walked, dipped in streams, ate amazing vegan food and a lot of delicious raw vegan cake, chatted, had massages, laughed and so much more. No internet, no phone reception, no light pollution, no noise - just sunshine, birds, stars and gorgeous autumn colours.

Huge thanks to everyone who came and extra thanks to Caro and Si for the food, Davide for the walks and Despina for the massage. 2022 retreat dates coming soon xx

This is how I’m spending January!! For the last two years two friends of mine have gone swimming every day in January, no wetsuits, to raise money for Crisis, the charity that provides support for the homeless. This year 4 of us have joined them. Please support us in any way you can - donate, share, like or comment on our posts or come and join us for a dip. If you’d like to join me this coming Saturday I’m heading up to Gaddings dam at 8am!! Message me for details.

If you’d like to donate go to:

And I promise there will always be wild swimming on any upcoming retreats 😊
