Pilates & Yoga Retreats

Pilates and yoga are great low-impact activities. They focus on improving your balance and core strength. Generally, these activities are accessible to everyone no matter your age or ability. Tai chi, Pilates and yoga provide great health benefits.

Yoga focuses on strength, flexibility and breathing to boost physical and mental wellbeing. There’s some evidence that regular yoga practice helps people with high blood pressure, heart disease, aches and pains (including lower back pain), depression and stress.

Your Yoga Teachers - Penny & Jo

Find out more about Penny and “Viniyoga”

I have been practicing yoga for 20 years.I have trained with Sadhana Mala, including their Art of Yoga training and their Art of Individual teaching and Yoga Therapy (AIT): more recently Ante natal yoga and active birth training.

The approach has provided me with an exceptional opportunity to both develop my own practice and knowledge but to also delve into the wisdom of the ancient texts. There is nothing more satisfying than passing these ideas on to individuals within my group classes and individual sessions.

I have a keen interest in Ayurveda, having studied – The Art of Living – with Ann Johnson for two years. This looks at lifestyle and diet. I am continuing to develop my knowledge in order to share these principles with others.

The prospect of teaching Ante natal yoga for pregnant mums is very exciting for me. This yoga approach is gentle, safe and supportive: perfect for their needs during the second and third trimesters.

Yoga Teacher Jo Ellis

I am an experienced and professional, local yoga teacher who has provided both public and private yoga ranging from deeply relaxing offerings to dynamic classes.

I have developed programs for projects at The Hilton in London as well as for private clients in France and it is my passion to create personalised programmes to suit the requirements of my clients.

From the feedback it seems to be working: Love Jo’s classes almost as much as her holistic approach to wellbeing and living life kindly. She’s generous in her teaching, pushing where it’s needed while maintaining a lovely balance. – Kersty

It is not religious at all. If anything it is the opposite, it prides itself on being open and accessible to all walks of life religious or not.

Is there anything else I need to do before I book a class?

After you have contacted your teacher and planned your trip, all you need to do is make sure you bring comfortable clothing and think about where and who you would like to do a class with.

If there is a group of you then let your teacher know and we just need to liaise on a convenient location.

Penny is so good at building trust, expressing empathy and instilling calm and I would recommend her ante natal yoga sessions to mummy’s to be.

I was a yoga beginner, and a bit hesitant about starting yoga sessions.However, after just one session I recognised that my body felt good, and I felt more relaxed.

I come away from her (Penny)sessions feeling like I've learned to breathe again. I recommend her classes, whatever your starting point. .
