There are times when we need to move. And there are times when we need to be a bit more introspective.

This retreat provides opportunity for both.

Combining a gentle yoga practice with a sound bath and yoga nidra, we'll explore what happens when we allow ourselves a bit of breathing space.

When we allow our mind and body to take what we need, some time to lay everything down. Even if it's just for a few hours.

Patanjali uses an image of ripples on a lake to illustrate our distracted minds, associating ourselves with our thoughts, our ego - allowing it to define who we think we are.

Using movement, sound and deep meditative relaxation, you'll be guided towards that stillness - smoothing out the ripples in the lake, until you can see a bit more clearly.

Sound like the sort of thing you need right now?

We might have been an exclusive bunch at Badgells Wood this evening, but we had the most wonderful evening!

There's something special about practising yoga whilst the sun goes down. The start of the class at 7:30 was a bit dusky, but by the time we finished at 8:45, it was DARK!

I know I say it often, but teaching at Badgells Wood is a massive treat! Every time I pull up the in car, I have to pinch myself to check if it's real 🤣

I have one more session left this season, on Saturday morning - 9:15-10:45. Let me know if you'd like to come along!

Cwtches,

Holiday photo dump number 2!

The theme of pilgrimage continues with a trip to Castello Di Sorci - where Dan and I had our wedding reception. The most wonderful setting and excellent food!

The following night, we were treated to the most incredible meal at Ricordati Di Me, which is a 5 min drive from where we were staying. There was no menu. They just brought food. And more food. And MORE food. And it was all stunning.

We then headed to Venice for a couple of days to break up the journey home in style!

And there I made my favourite pilgrimage - to Monteverdi's tomb at the Basilica San Maria Gloriosa dei Frari. I've loved Monteverdi's music since I first heard it in my 20's.

Put the sound on, and treat yourself to some of the most incredible music you'll ever hear. In the 400 years since this was written, I doubt anyone has managed to make anything sound more beautiful.

And we trekked back across Venice to La Fenice, for Dan's pilgrimage to the home of opera!

Two weeks - 9 countries - the best company. Loved it!

Holiday photo dump number 1!

We went on a road trip to Italy - started in the Dolomites with a few day's hiking, then to Tuscany for a week with our besties.

The whole thing felt like a bit of a pilgrimage - to the Dolomites for Dan to take us on some amazing hikes. Then we wanted to take the boys and our friends to the area where we got married in 2007. We've not been for 12 years, so it was the most amazing thing to get to see how it's changed (not very much!!).

We went to Florence - my happy place - though not so much in 40° heat 🥵 I have a thing for Renaissance Florence, so a pilgrimage to the Palazzo Medici Riccardi and San Lorenzo church were on my list.

We also found the Food Market, where this guy looked into Dan's soul and made it in sandwich form!

One of the best bits was visiting Anghiari, where Dan and I got married 19 years ago (how is it that long??). It looks EXACTLY the same 💞

A quick visit to San Marino was really fun, the boys LOVED all the nerdy shops selling replica swords and crossbows as they're really into Assassin's Creed at the moment!

And then there's the hose we stayed at. It's stunning! I'm seriously considering running a retreat there soon. Anyone interested?!

After a mammoth drive home from Venice yesterday, we got home at about 1am today!

I'm feeling very foggy but so grateful to have had the BEST time with my boys and our best friends.

Lots of very smug photos to come, but first, the important stuff - this week's class times!

I'm really looking forward to seeing you all on the mat from Thursday ❤️

This is me officially signing off for two WHOLE weeks!

I haven't taken this amount of time off since I started teaching yoga 4 years ago and it's NEEDED.

Keep an eye on the NRG GYM Gravesend app, as they were hoping to get some of the classes covered. If it's not showing, it means they haven't covered it!

I'll be back in time for the Thursday 13th class.

My Badgells Wood classes will be covered by the gorgeous Samadhi Yoga UK - please book and support her!

I'll pop onto social media every now and again, but we're intending on having a bit of a digital detox.

So I shall be by the pool, with snacky snacks, a glass of Chianti and Xaden Riorson 🙌🏻
