Yoga Holidays

I teach regular holidays and weekends in Devon, Turkey and India each year which are open to students of all levels of experience from beginners to those teaching yoga.

I have been leading yoga holidays and residential courses for 8 years now and in my opinion they are an ideal way to immerse yourself in yoga practice for a period of time. People often come away amazed at how they feel after a more intensified experience of yoga in conducive surroundings without life's normal pressures or chores.

In most courses we practice twice daily and share meals together. There also is plenty of time to hang out with like-minded people or spend time quietly on your own. Depending on the venue other activities maybe possible including walking, swimming, the use of a spa, shopping, sight-seeing or painting. Whilst some like to be occupied I also recommend allowing yourself some 'just being' time.

The venues where I work all vary in their standards of accomodation according to the country and facilities available. Prices reflect this. There are a variety of venues, countries and activities - so hopefully something for everyone.

Food is always great in residential yoga centres! And they are all in beautiful settings.

Some further information is provided on web links to the centres provided or through my downloadable information and booking forms. Some are booked directly through me, some through the centres directly and some through a third party - all details below. If something doesn't make sense or you need to know more then Contact or phone if need be.

There are some photos of the various venues below
