There is no fitness level required. Absolute beginners have come and learned a lot in a condensed time. Teachers and advanced practitioners also attend. I adapt my lessons to the group present and provide options and a safe space to expand your practice wherever you are at.

Most retreats have 10-15 people if I teach alone. If I co-teach, there are around 20.

Refer to the individual retreat you are interested in, but generally the retreat price listed includes the room and (some or all) meals, all yoga/movement/mindfulness sessions, and retreat administration and coordination. They do not include flights or transfers from airports or train stations unless stated. I help students coordinate transfers with the hotel or retreat center.

As a nutritionist, offering healthy food that tastes great and makes you feel energized is important to me. I choose places that can offer regional dishes made in healthier ways that can also accommodate students who have dietary restrictions. Meals include a lot of veggies and include strict vegetarian and non-vegetarian options whenever available. Proteins, healthy fats and fibrous carbs should be in every meal.  Yummy desserts also find their way in.

Depending on whether the retreat offers other time-dependent sports, usually the morning yoga or movement practice is at 8am and the evening around 5pm, but exact times vary. Meals follow the movement classes. There are some retreats that offer a smaller breakfast, midday meal and dinner and some that offer a large later brunch with larger dinner.

Click on the link to register. With many retreats, the room/food fee and yoga fee are paid separately for tax reasons. You will be asked to pay a non-refundable deposit at the time of registration. The remainder will be paid 3 months before the retreat begins.

While emergencies can arise, there is a lot of organization involved from my side and that of the accommodation. I try my best to understand exigent circumstances, but am also responsible for making the events financially sustainable and running smoothly. Deposits are non-refundable. If you have to cancel after you have paid the full amount, the money can be returned in the instance the space can be filled by the waiting list or if you find a replacement.

Yes! Many people come alone and meet like-minded people on retreat. I have even had strangers share a room and become good friends well beyond the retreat

I have students of all types and ages - from early 20s to 60s, regular and new practitioners, dedicated serious students and explorers. Most people are 30s to 50s with around 30-40% male and 70% female. My students are open-minded, friendly, happy to meet new people, international and traveled. Most are higher educated and have typical professional careers in business, law, medicine or the like.

I offer discounted rates to single parents, low income people and students. I have also offered discounts to those wishing to do some work/trade in exchange for the pro-rated fee. Message me and ask
