One of the questions people often ask is whether the French Retreat is easy to get to from the UK. 𝗬𝗲𝘀, 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀.

You can fly to Bordeaux, travel by train via Paris to Chalais, or drive if you fancy making a bigger adventure of it. There is free pick up from Chalais station, and support is available to help guests coordinate travel and transfers.

I've been revisiting the well of inspiration for my yoga offerings. I've been teaching for 18 years now, and my practice and classes have changed over that time.

Right now, what I appreciate the most is offering people moments in their week of respite from work, care, and demands of one sort or another. In our time together, I seek to weave together a beautiful experience of deep rest, relaxation, stretch, emotional relief and clarity, and peace. I'll work with you on areas of your body that are challenging you right now - loosening shoulders, easing hips, relieving back pain - while also encouraging acceptance of your amazing body.

I love people. I love getting to know you a little week by week and adapting what I offer you according to the particular mix and energy of the people in each class in each moment.

My classes are mixed ability, so you do not need to be especially flexible or experienced to join. I offer gentle adaptations where needed, and the focus is always on helping you feel more at ease in your body, more supported in yourself, and more able to meet life with balance.

Classes are held in Bishops Waltham on Mondays, as well as being broadcast online, and the Wednesday class is online only:

𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝟰.𝟯𝟬𝗽𝗺 | Women’s Health Yoga

Summer carries its own medicine. Warmth, colour, light, more time outside, more space to breathe.

It reminds us that healing is not only about depth and seriousness. It is also about aliveness, pleasure, connection and allowing joy to have its place.

When did you last feel you could really hear yourself? Not just think... feel and be also.

Our summer retreat in France is designed to give you beautiful and meaningful ways to work with your hands to create. This is because it is through these moments of making that we process everything we've talked about, moved through our bodies, reflected on before sleep, be inspired by in meditation or while walking through the fields to the village, or swimming in the local river.

That's why we will be incorporating nature based mandala making in our experience, as well as providing ways to experience your deep inner guidance through wild voice writing.

If you're curious, take a look or better yet give me a call and we can chat about whether the retreat is for you.

The dates are 𝟭𝟴𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗼 𝟮𝟮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲, 𝗻𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗕𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗮𝘂𝘅 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗵 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗿𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲.

Are you feeling drawn to begin your Reiki journey?

My 𝗥𝗲𝗶𝗸𝗶 𝟭 𝗕𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 (𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗻) is a gentle but powerful introduction to Reiki, giving you the foundations you need to begin working with this healing energy for yourself and for others.

Shoden means the first teachings. This is where we begin.

When you book, you will receive access to a comprehensive pre-course programme, including a course manual, audio teachings, meditations, energy exercises and clear summary sheets to support your learning.

On the training day, I offer the traditional Japanese Reiju empowerments that connect you permanently to this unlimited source of healing energy. We will also explore Reiki principles, Hatsu Rei Ho, self-treatment, and the basics of offering Reiki to other people, animals and plants.

My most recent student testimonial is from a wonderful teacher, who writes: "I recently attended the Reiki 1 with Joanne and I am so glad I did. I read up on several reiki training courses, but it was Jo’s video on her website that convinced me to pick her course as it resonated with me so much. She has a gentle approach, no question is a silly question, she was very patient and guided us well during our practical session. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this Reiki 1 course to anyone who is looking to learn about this wonderful healing practice. You won’t be disappointed!"

This 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽 offers a warm, grounded space to step back from everyday noise and listen more deeply to yourself.

Through guided shamanic practice, reflection and inner exploration, we will work with the idea of the long self, the wider, deeper self that holds more of your story, your wisdom and your way forward than everyday life often allows us to hear.

If you are feeling called to pause, reflect and reconnect with your inner world in a supportive circle, we would love to welcome you.
