Escape to the Hills Yoga Retreat.

Arrival from 4.30pm on Friday 3rd October 2025. Depart on the morning of Sunday 5th October 2025.

I invite you to escape to the hills with us for a weekend of wilderness, wellness and relaxation in the heart of the Peak District National Park.

Surrounded by a beautiful, remote landscape with the sound of the nearby stream and waterfalls, there will be daily Yoga practices, guided meditations and bedtime Yoga Nidras for deep rest. There will be opportunities to explore the local moorland and hills and of course relax in our luxury accommodation.

It’s nearly the end of another school holiday for us. It’s been a week of birthdays and adventure and finally we land on a day of nothingness. A completely free day with no plans but to potter. Anyone else love a ‘pottering around’ day?! 

The practice is all planned and ready to go for our next evening Yoga theme, which begins this Monday 24th February. 

Here’s the piece of writing which has inspired the practice - it’s all about circles and cycles. 

Come and join us for our gathering of Following the Flow - Yoga to connect with the seasons on 7th Mat 2025, 7pm - 9pm, at Ipstones Memorial Hall Staffordshire.

Exchange: £16.50

Friday 28th March 2025

7pm - 8.30pm

Kingsley Village Hall

Our Wisdom Keeper for this event is astrophysicist and Zen teacher, Dr Mark Westmoquette.

Mark has written several books and has featured in a number of well-known publications.

Join us for this exciting evening that combines science, astronomy, contemplation and mindfulness. Let’s open our minds to uncover the wonder and awe of our amazing Universe.

I love a ‘theme’ for the Yoga that I offer and it’s almost always inspired by Nature, the cycles and seasons. 
In our evening Yoga classes we practice the same ‘theme’ for around 6 weeks, giving ourselves time to really understand and feel each asana (posture), pranayama (breath extension practice) and Mudra (sacred gesture). By visiting the same routine over a length of time we see progression and begin to remember parts of the flow so we can feel confident to roll out our mats on our own should we wish. 

Saturday 18th January 2025

10.30am - 12pm

Werrington Village Hall

Our Wisdom Keeper for this event is Karen Price of Affect Psychotherapy and Leek Shamanic Workshops & Events.

Karen will be showing us that we are more than just the physical. Our bodies are made up of energy that can either flow in a harmonious way, bringing a sense of good health and vitality, or our energy can become stuck and murky leading to issues emotionally, mentally and physically. Sound healing is a valuable, natural tool in supporting us to work on a cellular level and keep our energetic hygiene in tip top condition.

My new year long offering that aims to bring you into deeper connection with the changing seasons. We will meet 8 times through the year, in alignment with the ancient Earth festivals of this land, and spend time together learning about the energies of that particular time of the year, how we can clear, cleanse and realign ourselves and nourish our bodies through the practice of Yoga and Meditations that are inspired by Nature.

Come and join us for our gathering of Following the Flow on 31th January 2025, 7pm - 9pm, at Ipstones Memorial Hall Staffordshire.

Well the Solstice is nearly here… the darkest time of the year before we start the ascent and the light makes its return. I’m sure many of you are whoop whooping at this thought! But I feel a little sad to think the descent is nearly over. I haven’t rested as much as I’d planned and I haven’t even started that book I wanted to read! Luckily the light makes a slow return so all is not lost yet..

Come along and let’s do something radical together! Rest! 

Yes, rest really is a radical thing to choose in our modern day life, where society and culture put more value on producing, consuming and stealing our attention away from our own bodies and minds. 

Well, we are definitely in the throes of late Autumn and Winter now aren’t we and the weather for sure makes the call for hibernation and rest even harder to ignore.  

At this time each year, you’ll start to hear less from me as I do what I preach and clear space for downtime. With that in mind I thought I’d better let you all know the dates for the Christmas break which I’ve outlined below, please do take a look at this. 

Come and join us for our gathering of Your Sacred Grove to meet the tree spirit of Yew on 8th December 2024. Leek, Staffordshire. 1.30pm

Have you managed to catch the super Moon this week? It’s been looking pretty wonderful, lighting up our night skies. It’s the second of three in a row of super Moons, which is pretty rare!

The Moon carries the energies of compassion, gentleness, mothering, nourishment, nurture, emotional intelligence and intuition. It’s been the source of my inspiration for a couple of things recently - the first being a cleanse! 

Come and join us for our gathering of Your Sacred Grove to meet the tree spirit of Elder on 9th November 2024. Ipstones, Staffordshire.

We’ve had a fabulous weekend in the Derbyshire Dales. Walking, talking, relaxing and Yoga-ing! The food was wholesome and tasty, the weather was perfect and the circle of Women who came together all had the kindest of hearts. Even though I plan the details and hold the space, the retreats are really made by the people who come along. Each individual adding their own energy and story to the weekend. Each one making it so special and unique.

'Seeing the dark as a place of beauty and richness.'

Sunday 20th October. 5.30pm - 7pm at Oakamoor Cricket Club, Staffordshire.

Come and meet conservationist Amy Dutton to learn all about the creatures of the dark.

n this session we will learn about the Earth festivals of this land - 8 thresholds through the year that provide an opportunity to pause, take stock and celebrate! If you’re a family with older children, these are great times to regroup, and share what’s been achieved and what dream seeds there are for the future. And if you’re a family with younger children, this is a great way to get creative together and get outdoors noticing all the details as Nature waxes and wanes through the year. 21st September 2024. 10am - 11.30am.
