Or you can come on your own and surf, relax, and also do all the yoga. So far we’ve got both kinds of people coming 😀. You can find all the details here:

We also realised others might be in a similar situation, as far as going on a retreat is concerned. For that reason we decided to plan a retreat that is family friendly. You can bring your kids & significant others, & let them look after each other while you do all the yoga.

Anyway, having a child and teaching yoga full time is surprisingly challenging in terms of time management, especially when you want to either go on a retreat, or run a retreat. And we want to do both.

We have a 6-year old who doesn’t feature on instagram much. We made the decision at the beginning that when it’s time, she can make her own digital footprint and marketing avatar for the big data companies. But I digress…

It’s good to work on the fundamentals. Inversions can give you an amazing sense of freedom, and that comes from having a stable base. To work on the fundamentals I’m running a workshop at @theyogaquarter on Saturday 30 September at 3pm #sirsasana #pinchamayurasana

I once saw a video on Instagram where a yoga teacher was teaching pincha mayurasana - or forearm stand - and their instruction was mainly to tell the viewer to get into to this position (one leg forearm dog), and just to lift the other leg up. They were … https://t.co/krvYIVvxCK

Once upon a time I used to not have a beard, have a sensible haircut and wear small black shorts. This wasn’t when I first started practising yoga. Back then I don’t think anyone thought of taking pictures of yoga postures much. This picture was from a… https://t.co/UrCjh24rtc

Awkward leg hug pose. Sometimes as a yoga teacher, your best bet is to say, “If you can do posture x, now’s a good time to do it.” This is one example of posture x. Of course, there are lots of good preparatory movements for it and you can sequence a c… https://t.co/NkXmdKXeaK

It seems that I have taken to posting on Instagram once a month, because I want the algorithm to hate me. I don’t want you to hate me though, please love me and the nonchalant way I’m doing scorpion pose right here. Also its getting very close to the e… https://t.co/asuasLWOZm

🐍 I almost always teach this posture in class - or a version of it. This is my pretty warmed up on a summer’s day version and it doesn’t always look like this. There’s usually less weathered woodwork and corrugated metal in the places I practise yoga… https://t.co/b1q7eaEPGQ

Every so often I feel obliged to post a picture of a handstand scorpion to remind myself to keep practising it. This one’s from last summer at @hotyogatrieste, and I’m almost out of pictures of it, so I guess I’ll need to do it again sometime soon or I’l… https://t.co/zVR0BHqAy4

This is the picture I always roll out when @littlehaque and I have got a retreat coming up. It still looks like us, more or less. It’s in July in Spain, and I’m looking forward to it not only because it’s going to be great doing a retreat again post pand… https://t.co/q1y7UMF6ss

Happy New Year! Have you made any new year’s resolutions? Do you ever? I usually don’t, but this year I’m going to try… If you don’t have any resolutions, here’s a good one you could try: do this posture every day. (You might have to do some other … https://t.co/d5BrnhJOqj

When you take them out of context, yoga postures can look a little bit silly. But doing them isn’t silly at all. They’re very serious. Make sure you do some instead of sitting on the couch, continuing to eat Quality Street chocolates by the handful, whic… https://t.co/hTI8e1B8bd

Here’s a picture of me putting my leg behind my head from years ago. Look how happy I look! Maybe I should try putting my leg behind my leg more often… I am going to this weekend! On Saturday at @theyogaquarter I’m going to teach the Bikram “interme… https://t.co/WATewa9RMN
