"When you align with your truth, your teaching naturally radiates love and inspiration."
Dear yoga teacher [yes, you!]
We understand how challenging it can be to prioritise yourself. You devote your energy to helping others relax and find inspiration through yoga, yet often struggle to find the time to do the same for yourself.
Now tell us if this sounds like you…
You feel stressed. Balancing teaching classes, maintaining a personal practice, & managing life’s responsibilities leaves you drained, yearning for a moment of peace.
You have doubts and worries about your teaching journey. Whether it’s worries about the future or stress over small imperfections, it’s hard to relax and fully enjoy the present moment when you’re teaching.
You’re working on clarifying what feels true in your teaching. Whether you're finding your voice or refining it, shaping an authentic teaching style that meets diverse student needs is a lifelong journey.
If some of those statements sound a little too familiar, then it’s time to refill YOUR cup of energy, joy and inspiration.
Imagine spending time in a supportive community of yoga teachers where everyone uplifts and encourages one another—no envy, no competition, just genuine connection.
Led by seasoned retreat hosts and yoga teachers - Manouk Tideman and Jo Woollacott - this is an opportunity to:
➜ deepen your knowledge and practice of yoga,
➜ whilst taking well-deserved time to rest and rejuvenate.
Here’s how you’ll feel after 7 days together…
Inspired: Through creative workshops and soulful practices, reignite your passion for teaching and life. You’ll leave feeling joyful, inspired, and glowing with energy that radiates from within.
Joyful: Rediscover the joy and freedom of your practice, just like when you first fell in love with yoga. This retreat invites you to embrace your inner child, letting go of expectations and enjoying the simple, playful moments of life and teaching.
Supported: Build meaningful connections with fellow yoga teachers who truly understand, appreciate, and support you. No competition, no judgment—just a genuine community rooted in encouragement, laughter, and mutual respect.
