Emma in Goddess variation, ‘Spring Awakening’ Retreat, Cober Hill, March 2018
Spring has finally Sprung-Yippee! It has been a long cold Winter so
it is wonderful to see all the new growth and to experience the rising
of the sun which gives us new energy for all of our plans and
projects.
We had a lovely time at Cober Hill for the Spring Awakening retreat
and it was extra special this year to have my mum there. She
enjoyed meeting all my wonderful students and a good time was had
by all
This year, we practiced in the Joseph Rowntree Centre with its
lovely spacious hall and warm, spotless accommodation. It was lovely
to hear so much laughter and seeing all the new friendships
blossoming during the retreat.
I have lots of Yoga events planned for March, April and May so here
is all the news…
Review
Dr Uma Dinsmore-Tuli, Yoga Nidra Immersion, Newcastle, January
2018
It was wonderful to see Uma again; I arrived holding my much used
copy of her extraordinary book, ‘Yoni Shakti: A Woman’s Guide to
Power and Freedom through Yoga and Tantra.
Battered and wind-swept!
This book has become like a Bible to me and has survived retreats in
both Crete and India. I showed her my copy and she was so touched
by it and said that my copy was a first edition which I could get
replaced free of charge because of the faulty binding those first
editions had. I am fond of my battered copy though so will be
keeping hold of it.
Dr Uma and Emma, Newcastle, January 2018
The weekend was a series of Yoga Nidras which I found hugely
restful and rejuvenating. A lot of ideas and creativity came out of
this weekend for me including poetry and the script for my first
Yoga Nidra, ‘On the Path of the Watery Moon’. Yoga Nidra is now a
daily part of my self-care and I am really enjoying facilitating Yoga
Nidra classes.
New Retreat! ‘Autumn Escape’ Yoga Retreat
Delicious Award-winning Food and Luxurious Accommodation, Country
Walks, A Variety of Yoga Classes
I am delighted to be launching a new domestic retreat quite close to
home for the Autumn.
This is a place I have stayed at regularly with my mum and Zuzana
and if it is good enough for my mum…
It has had an impressive refurbishment to a very high standard, the
food is lovely and locally sourced, there are comfortable, spacious
rooms including a coffee house and tea room, a bar and restaurant, a
large space for Yoga and the staff are friendly and helpful. It is
situated in the Market Square so is perfectly located for exploring
the cobbled market town and further afield.
Bookings are coming in thick and fast for this retreat so if you are
interested in booking do let me know.
There are new retreats planned for 2019- see the dates below.
Claire from The Tree (formerly The Orange Tree) gave me a ring to
see if I would like to teach there in 2019 and I said ’Yes’
immediately!
It is a wonderful place set in the heart of the countryside. The Yoga
space is a thoughtfully converted Wesleyan chapel positioned over a
valley. It is so peaceful and the food is vegetarian and home-cooked.
Look out for more details and a brochure later in the year…
Zuzana in Astavakrasana, Fuerteventura November 2016
As you know, my wonderful partner Zuzana designs all of my
brochures but does have her own demanding career as Dr Z Optical
Physics Scientist so please be patient! – We will release the
brochures for 2019 in due course … I am so lucky that you all wish
to join us on these retreats so will be doing my best to plan
wonderful themes for you.
