July 2022 - My First Ever Retreat

1 Jul

This was where it all began.

My very first retreat, held at the beautiful Monte Velho retreat centre in Portugal.

A lovely group came together from the UK, Sweden, Australia and the Czech Republic — different corners of the world, brought together in one place, and it planted the seed for everything that followed.

“It is, as more than one student has told me, a reset for the body, the mind, and the sense of what is possible.”

November 2024 - The Retreat That Found Its Name

This was the retreat where everything clicked. I stopped calling it Yoga or Pilates and named it what it truly is: a Movement for Living Well Retreat, a practice built over 30 years around movement, connection, nourishment, environment, and rest.

July 2024 - Yoga Retreat

This retreat was equal parts profound and playful, deep connection and stillness, balanced by giggles and laughter. A gentle reminder that growth doesn't always have to be serious.

November 2023 — FAMO (formerly known as Slings) Retreat

This retreat confirmed November is a wonderful time to hold space in this part of Portugal. So many "aha" moments and memories with this wonderful group from the UK, Sweden and the USA.
