The powerful practice of yoga can transform your life.

Winter is a natural time for introspection, stillness and deeper connection with self - perfectly aligned with the inner workings of Ashtanga. 

As the world quietens and nature draws inwards, so too can we. We need this time of year to slow down, to restore our energy, to rest, in order to balance the outwardly focused energy and productivity of the warmer months. So how can we balance this need with a yoga practice that, on the outside, is strong and dynamic, that follows strict rules and requires a lot of energy? How can we sustain our practice throughout the winter months without exhausting ourselves? Without becoming depleted, disillusioned and uninspired? 

Join me for a grounding Ashtanga workshop designed to support your transition into winter - a season of slowing down, stillness, reflection and inner nourishment.

Celebrate mid winter and the darkest time of the year by coming together to practise, a little escape from all the busyness, some moments of stillness and connection.

Christmas Eve, Wednesday 24th December 8 - 10 am

Escape the British winter for a week of Ashtanga yoga and sunshine at the amazing Purple Valley Yoga in Tenerife.

Inside every woman is a wild self who is the vital spark of our embodied wisdom, creativity, intuition & connection to nature. All too often, however, rigid social structures mean we’re acculturated to put aside our wild selves in order be the ‘perfect’ mother, partner, worker etc. So, it’s no wonder many of us feel tired, burnt out, angry, numb, stuck or all of these at once.

This retreat in the heart of the West Yorkshire moors – famous for inspiring the wildness of the Brontë sisters – will be a chance to press pause on the busyness of life and re-wild yourself through the complimentary practices of yoga and journaling led by experienced facilitators and friends Donna Southwell and Dr Rachel Newsome.

Enjoy a week of early summer sunshine and Ashtanga yoga in the beautiful YogApulia retreat centre.. YogApulia is a boutique retreat centre exclusively for yoga and meditation practice, set up and run by dedicated Ashtanga yoga practitioners Mark & Nicola. This is a beautiful peaceful space in tune with the natural rhythm of nature  where guests can escape from the demands of the modern world to deepen their practice in the beautiful, peaceful setting of the Valle d’Itria in Apulia, Southern Italy.
