The Magic Touch
This is a deeply restorative experience, designed with intention, care, and a genuine love for creating space for people. Having experienced burnout myself, I know how hard it can be to slow down, especially in busy cities like London, where rest is sometimes overlooked, and productivity is prioritised.
That’s why I pour my heart into everything that I do. Yoga to me is never about being the most flexible or ‘zen’, it’s about showing up exactly as you are in that moment in time, enjoying the present, and creating space to be kinder to yourself and lead with more compassion. Everything I offer is open to everyone, even if you’ve never tried yoga before – this retreat is welcoming and non-pretentious. Think yoga without ego, wellness without pressure, and community without being cliquey.
This weekend is grounded in the simple joy of slowing down in a beautiful environment. With no fluff, no forced transformation, just meaningful time in nature with like-minded people.
