The powerful practice of yoga can transform your life.

Celebrate the winter solstice and practise as the sun rises on the shortest day of the year. And/or start off the Christmas period with a group self practice and breakfast, a little bit of space for yourselves before the chaos begins!

A year long immersion into the Ashtanga yoga practice and what it means for you.

The Ashtanga Yoga Primary series and it’s component parts will form the foundation of our course with optional modules in Pranayama , Zen Meditation , Chanting , Ashtanga Yoga Intermediate Postures and East/West Spiritual Paths

Elevate your Ashtanga yoga practice with our Intermediate Sequence Course. This deep dive into the second series will take place over 4 weekends in 2024.

Menopause is an immense life event that can be approached as an important rite of passage for women as we cross the threshold into a new season. 

Not only does it usher in a complete hormonal shift but our brains also begin to change in a way that can connect us more deeply with our intuition. This means that menopause has the potential to provide the greatest opportunity for growth since adolescence. 

In this workshop we aim to start the process of harnessing the wisdom of the menopause through the complementary practices of yoga and writing in a supported, heart-centred space. 

A week of Ashtanga yoga and much needed sunshine in this beautiful yoga 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. Their intention is to create an intimate 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.

Put some energy back into your practice as we move into spring, spend time in the beautiful lake district fells, hiking, rock climbing, swimming in lakes and tarns, chatting, journaling, relaxing by the fire or in the sauna and hot tub. 

In 2022 we spent a long weekend at Barmoor right at the beginning of spring, just as we started to emerge from winter. This time we'll be there at the height of summer - just before the summer solstice. We'll make the most of the long light days with morning yoga practices, hikes out into the north yorkshire moors, exploring just that little bit further afield to find cold swimming spots, early evening techniques workshops and evening hikes up the hill behind the house to watch the sun set. Nourished by fantastci seasonal plant based food.

For those who just need to do a bit less this is the perfect spot to chill out in, a big Victorian house, windows overlooking the moors, big gardens surrounding us and the pretty village of Hutton-le-Hole a short stroll away. Do as much or as little as you need to do - this is your mid summer escape.

Extend the summer sunshine as we move into autumn with a week of 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. Their intention is to create an intimate 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.

As we go through menopause/perimenopause alongside other transitions through the many seasons of our lives, what served us in the first half of our life might be less useful as we ask ourselves who we want to be and how we want to live in the second half of our life?

This weekend will give you time and space to explore the rite of passage and the power that is menopause. Through yoga practice, guided journaling, wild swimming, connecting with others and time outdoors in nature we can support each other as we navigate our feelings, emotions and experiences.
