This retreat offers a warm, grounded immersion in Ashtanga Yoga in a stunning eco - retreat on the south coast of Tenerife.

Mornings are devoted to Mysore-style self practice, with attentive guidance to support everyone from complete beginners to seasoned practitioners.  Optional Chanting and Pranayama deepen the morning sessions, while afternoons unfold into restorative Yoga Nidra, thoughtful workshops, and space for reflection.

With slightly staggered start times so that everyone gets as much assistance as they wish, we will devote the mornings to the truly life enhancing method that Tom has been practicing since 2007.  All levels of practitioner will be comfortable in this session, from absolute beginners to seasoned Ashtangis.

Sunday & Thursday

4-6pm:        Yoga Nidra, Guided Meditation

Often described as the yoga of sleep, a guided Nidra session is a deeply relaxing reset of mind and body.  It’s so restorative we’re going to do it twice! 

Monday & Wednesday

4-6pm:       Afternoon workshop - Practice Related

I like to tailor the content of these to the suit the make-up and energy of the group, rather than fix the themes before we all get to meet.  That said, the focus of these sessions will be on how we can deepen our understanding of why we practice, and what we can do to make it more sustainable once we return to our daily lives.  Popular themes for these sessions are: the magic of the Tristhana, the true meaning of vinyasa and why it’s such a powerful modern method, how to keep your practice free of self judgment and how to never lose your sense of humour. 

Saturday

9am:       Check-out, followed by breakfast, a quick debrief and farewell hugs!
