I invite you to join me and a group of like-minded friends on a weekend yoga retreat in Jeffrey's Bay or St. Francis Bay in South Africa's eastern cape; or a one week yoga retreat immersion on the beautiful green Greek island of Skiathos - in the Sporades. I love being on the lookout for and discovering unique, tactile spaces in seaside global destinations to host yoga retreats which evoke 'that s
pecial tangible feeling' that some places just have. I look out for spaces that create an opportunity for you to deeply relax, go inward and heal; leaving with a calmer mind, more-opened heart and renewed energy for life. My personal yoga journey initially began as a tool to better manage my stress and anxiety in a career working as an Art Director-Designer in Advertising in the early 2000's. It soon became my therapy, my love and my life - a source of constant learning, un-learning, refinement of my personality and strengthening of my nervous system. I completed my RYT-200 hr Ashtanga-Vinyasa TTC in 2007 with Maria Taylor (Shaki Shanti) and since attended many one week Advanced Yoga Immersions with Shimon Ben Avi from Israel. In 2020 I completed a RYT-50 hr Yin Teacher Training with Caitlin Rose-Kenney from Colorado, online .In 2021 I completed my RYT-500 hr YTT with Jim Harrington in Cape Town. I have immense gratitude for my teachers above who have lit the way for me with their authentic teaching of Meditation, Pranayama, Yoga Philosophy, Asana - including Aditi Gaur, Leora Leibowitz, Tamsin Sheehy, Patrick Creelman and Viktor van der Kleij. The places I have been to and friends I have met along the way have become lifelong and are life-giving to me. Getting groups of people or friends together to connect, laugh, cry, share, grieve, celebrate is not only personally enriching but is necessary.
