Only 4 spots left 🍷
Our last retreat of the year is almost full!

Join us this Autumn at for a full morning of yoga, life drawing and wine tasting.

As Summer fades and we settle into Autumn, this is your chance to take a soft pause in the rush of the everyday 🍁

These retreat days allow for longer sessions, space to chat and a chance to explore the beautiful grounds and delicious wines of Sandridge Barton.

Don't miss the chance to unwind, create and connect.

Bookings can be made on the South Hams Yoga website, link in bio.

We hope that you can join us.

Ashleigh & Ian

✨ Only 2 spots left! ✨

We're heading into the woods for our next Stretch & sketch and would love for you to join us

We think there's something pretty special about making art outside. The rustle of the leaves, shifting life, birdsong .. it all becomes part of the creative process 🌿

Whether you're a yogi, artist or a complete beginner, this is a relaxed, welcoming space to stretch, sketch and soak up this beautiful venue.

Ready to try something new?

We would love for you to join our monthly Stretch & sketch workshops in Totnes, South Devon.

During our tutored life drawing session with Ian, you can learn to capture the human form in all its beauty. From sketching the curves and lines to mastering light and shadow, it’s a great way to improve your skills and challenge yourself.

Whether you're a beginner or someone who regularly creates, there’s always something new to discover!

After the life drawing, we take a short break to enjoy a cuppa and then we finish up with a 45 minute yoga practice with Ashleigh. Suitable for all levels as variations are offered throughout.

You're so welcome here πŸ’›

Experimenting with Indian inks on Friday evening.

A more spontaneous approach is needed as marks cannot be easily undone or corrected. Allowing for rawness, creativity and a chance to get out of your head.

Another brilliant evening with last night at for our monthly Stretch & Sketch. It was great to see some of our lovely regulars and to meet new ones too.

With all this beautiful sunshine, we enjoyed a slow flow to bring the energy and heat down before settling into the life drawing session.

Ian guided us through using Indian inks this evening. We saw some experimenting with these, others with charcoals and as always an injection of colour.

We're busy confirming the models for the next 3 months so we will update you in the coming weeks!

Thanks so much for joining us and enabling us to host these monthly workshop's. We loved sharing this with you all and we hope to see you again soon.

Join us for a day of creative exploration and relaxation, combining the calming practice of yoga with the inspiration of life drawing, all hosted at the stunning Sandridge Barton. This immersive experience is a collaboration between yoga teacher Ashleigh and oil painter Ian.

This experience is open to all levelsβ€”no prior yoga or art experience is needed. Simply come with an open mind and a desire to connect with your creative side.

If you haven't been to Sandridge Barton before, then you absolutely must! You can really make a day of it and stay to enjoy a bite to eat and a walk around the grounds & the vineyards after the workshop.
