Restore, Rest & Renew Retreat at Champneys Spa Forest Mere, UK
OCTOBER 20th - OCTOBER 24th 2025
Join me on this 4-day restorative break at Forest Mere. We have our own beautiful private yoga space, the Garden Room, overlooking the lake, and I will be hosting gentle yoga classes that will include classes on yoga nidra, breathing, sound and a tiny bit of yoga philosophy on lifestyle.
This retreat is offered as a nourishing reset and everything is optional. You will also be offered lifestyle guidance on healing the nervous system, including how to breathe and rest constructively.
Relax and unwind in comfort
The food at Champneys is plentiful and delicious, and if you feel 'peckish' outside of mealtimes there’s a small coffee/tea lounge in the conservatory overlooking the pool. All of the facilities are in one place, which makes it easy to hop between enjoying the indoor swimming pool, time in the jacuzzi and stargazing in the outdoor thermal suite.
You can roam the beautiful grounds with its private boating lake, enjoy a gentle stroll around the nature-filled grounds, try your hand at a game of chess, or just relax in the lounge. There’s even a snow room for a complete Alpine vibe. Light, airy, simple and modern, Champney's standard rooms feature garden views and are en-suite.

Soothe, Calm & Restore Yoga Retreat at Santillan
MAY 2025
After my previous retreat location at Cortijo Romero closed, I searched for one closer to Malaga airport and I was fortunate to secure a date at Santillan. It’s featured in The Telegraph as one of ‘the 30 greatest yoga holidays on the planet’ and The Times as ’the 20 best yoga retreats in the world’ - in other words, the venue is peaceful and utterly beautiful.
Santillan is located in Southern Spain and is set in extensive, beautiful gardens with land that overlooks the mountains, with the valley gently rolling toward the sea in the distance. It was previously visited by the Dalai Lama, who recognised it as a place for spiritual healing. The retreat is in early May and it’s one of the best months to visit the region, with warm temperatures in the low to mid-20s and more affordable flights compared to the high season (flights not included).
Organic dining, serene surroundings
The food at Santillan is mainly organic produce, either grown locally or sourced directly from the gardens and farm.
All the bedrooms are decorated to a high standard and come with quiet terraces that offer views of the sea, mountains, or gardens.
The three yoga spaces are particularly impressive, including an outdoor platform with views of the valley and the sea, and there’s also a wide range of indoor and outdoor facilities, including a saltwater swimming pool.
In addition, treatments and excursions are available, though not included in the price. Airport transfers are extra but easy to arrange and affordable.

If you’re interested in this special retreat (May 10th–17th 2025), which will include gentle movement, mantra and breathwork, please let me know as soon as possible using my Contact page, as numbers are limited.
Please note – this is not a retreat specifically for ME/CFS or Long Covid, although the yoga will be gentle.
