On retreat in Cyprus, we have some wonderful Cypriot style meals in the eco hotel which really align with Ayurveda teachings for easy to dgest, seasonal eating, and are truly delicious on top of it!

Inspired by them I created this Mediterranean - Ayurveda fusion dish the other week….a creative take on an Ayurveda staple called kitchadi.

Here it is, along with the carrot and coriander soup I enjoyed with it because Ayurveda recommends that we eat:

👌One third solids
👌One third liquids
👌And leave one third space for grace …..something I find hard to do when the foods so delicious but that truly helps the digestive process (- not to mention a healthy weight 🙂🫶😔).

Here’s a little tip…..

Before you reach for that second helping, wait ten minutes to see if you’re really still hungry. Ayurveda understands why we can still feel hungry, even when we are full! 😉 And it tells us what do about it. 👌🫶

These are the kind of things you’ll learn on my Ayurveda retreats and courses.

NEXT DATES:
One week Yoga retreat in Cyprus 17-24 September
Ayurveda Living Course Module 1, 25 September to 4 December
Five day Ayurveda retreat in Shropshire, 20-24 October

Check the events above for details or please COMMENT OR DM for details.

Let me know how you get on if you make these recipes. 🫶💕👌

From Me to You — An Invitation to Retreat in Cyprus

This retreat has become one of the most sacred parts of my year.

Each time I return, I’m reminded why I began — and why I continue.

I’ve always been drawn to stepping away from the rhythms of daily life to be in devoted spiritual practice. There is something profoundly powerful about choosing to pause, to listen inwardly, and to reconnect with what truly matters.

Cyprus — this ancient, sun-soaked land once dedicated to Aphrodite, goddess of love — offers us more than words can fully express.
Her energy is tangible. Her history, rich. Her landscape, deeply holding.

For ten years, this place has gathered us, year after year.

It has witnessed our healing, our releasing, our reawakening.

And every time, I am amazed by what unfolds when people come together with sincerity — to be held by nature, to meet themselves deeply, and to walk beside others doing the same.

If your heart is calling, you are so welcome.
I would be honoured to share this experience with you.

Our next gathering is from Sept 17 - Sept 24, 2025.

Please comment or DM for details, to join or for a retreat call. ✨🙏✨🙌🇨🇾💕✨

My Story

Hello & Namaste,

Thank you for visiting my page. I am a Yoga Alliance UK registered Senior Yoga teacher, Yoga Therapist, Ayurveda Practitioner and Ayurveda Educator. I have been teaching Yoga classes, workshops, 1-1 sessions and retreats for 14 years.

I was first introduced to Yoga by my mother who was training with the British Wheel of Yoga nearly 38 years ago. Since then Yoga has remained a big part of my life. As a young woman with a rebel heart, after University I went on travels across the globe. These were outer journeys driven by an inner spiritual search. I spent time in Japan, India, Italy and later in Costa Rica, Bahamas, Canada and the USA in personal growth work, trainings, and Yoga and meditation practice.

On my return to the UK, after learning for some years with masters of Hatha Yoga in London, I went to Bahamas to take my 200hr Yoga teacher training with the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta organisation. This training was such a powerfully transforming and healing experience for me that I felt compelled to go back to the ashram in Bahamas. I wanted to learn and experience more and so I lived in the ashram for some years as a member of staff. I had intended to stay only a few months but the opportunity to live alongside senior teachers, to work closely with them, and to immerse into a Yoga lifestyle was not only teaching me more than I could have wished for but was also showing me the best side of myself. This just left me longing for more.

My Yoga therapy training introduced me to Ayurvedic Yoga Therapy, and life on the ashram was very much influenced by the teachings of Ayurveda. We were exposed regularly to workshops and lectures by leading figures in the world of Ayurveda. And so I came, during these years in the Sivananda organisation, to recognise what a powerful package Ayurveda and Yoga are, supporting optimum well-being in body, mind and spirit.

Five years later, after taking more teacher trainings including an Advanced Yoga Teacher training, Yoga for the Heart and Cancer training, Pregnancy Yoga training in Bahamas and Canada, and a Structural Yoga Therapy Training in New York, I left the ashram. During those years, I had also travelled to places around the world to immerse in spiritual practice and personal development programmes. In the ashram I had been teaching specialist residential programmes including Yoga for Pain Relief, Yoga for Stress Reduction, Yoga for Back Pain, Yoga for Joint Pain, Yoga for Mind and Emotions. The experience had been enriching and empowering on all levels of being. I felt so excited to come back and start sharing all this here in the UK.

Since my return, I have committed to a Yoga and Ayurveda life and it is my honour to share all this learning in my classes, workshops and retreats. I have recently completed an Ayurveda Practitioner training, and I continue to study with masters of Hatha Yoga. I believe these further trainings deepen my own understanding and experience of Yoga and Ayurveda, which helps me personally but I hope also helps me professionally to keep my teaching alive and continually evolving for the greater benefit of all who come to class.

It is this training and experience of Yoga that informs the classical style of Hatha Yoga I prefer to teach in class, an approach which is aware of the role of postures as a means to build equilibrium in body and mind, preparing us for the subtler breathing and meditation practices.

I also teach more recently a dynamic style of Hatha Yoga, with a focus on the energetics of Yoga postures and their capacity to induce transformation in our state of mind as well as our physical bodies. This dynamic style is ideal for those who have some Yoga experience and would like to move a little more deeply into practice.

In addition, you will find on my teaching schedule and in retreat programmes, Yin and Restorative Yoga styles, as well as a Gentle Yoga style.

My training in Ayurveda influences all my classes, informing me how to adapt the classes according to the environment, climate and season, and - in 1-1 sessions - according to age and constitutional type.

In addition to teaching Yoga workshops, classes, 1-1s and retreats, I teach Meditation Courses and Ayurveda Living (Lifestyle and Nutrition) Courses.

Please drop me a line any time (private message me) to enquire about any classes, workshops, private Yoga and/or Ayurveda, or retreats. Or write with any of your Yoga and Ayurveda related questions. I’m only too happy to answer as best I can or to point you in the direction where you might find the answers you look for.

With love and best wishes

Sara Palmer (Shama)
