Is this retreat right for me?
This retreat is for anyone who feels they need an opportunity to reconnect to themselves and to rest.
​
You don’t need to have children to join. You don’t need to have any prior experience of yoga or meditation. You don’t need to have a certain level of fitness or flexibility.
You are so welcome to attend just as you are.

Hi!
I’m Tessa. I am a yoga teacher and a solicitor, and I am hosting this retreat.
As well as juggling two jobs I am also a mother to three children. I have found motherhood to be fascinating, enlightening and (honestly) fairly gruelling. Yoga has been my daily companion for the last ten years and a source of incredible support at some really difficult moments.
​
My yoga practices are a simple invitation to move with compassionate curiosity. I focus on self exploration and movements that feel grounding and soothing.
​
I am kind and friendly and view my role as one of facilitation rather than instruction. If you haven't been to one of my classes and would like an idea of what to expect, find half an hour to yourself and settle in to this seasonal yoga nidra (recording below)!
I am really pleased to welcome two guest facilitators to join me on this retreat and share their own experience and world view with you: Jules McGill and Sarah Little.
Jules is an inclusive women’s personal trainer, and founder of Aluna Wellbeing. Whatever stage you’re at in life, she can help you find your confidence and strength and will leave you feeling empowered and unshakable. Jules will be joining us in July for some uplifting movement as we pause and prepare for the summer break ahead.
​
Sarah is a self-love yoga teacher and coach, and founder of Self Love Sarah. She offers compassionate and inclusive yoga and specialises in self-love, body positivity and empowerment for the mind, body and soul. Sarah will be joining us in September for restorative yin yoga as we rest and reflect after the summer break.
