Happy New Year - may 2014 bring you much Peace, Love & Happiness

6/1/2014

3 Comments

 
Today is the first day back to 'normality' after the busy Christmas and New Year celebrations, and although I loved seeing old friends and celebrating with good food, I'm a little relieved that life has returned to its usual pace here in our valley.

The return to normality includes focussing on what's happening in 2014... and informing you of  yoga detox retreats' retreats. As an added incentive to you to plan a healthy and fun holiday this year, I'm offering a 10% early bird discount if bookings are made before Feb 1 2014. This is in addition to the usual 10% discount for returning guests, so it could be a 20% discount for you! 
(Note: this applies to my Turkey and Italy retreats, not the Portugal retreats).

a Yoga Detox Retreat - a Holiday with a Difference

yoga detox holidays yoga
Yoga stretches and opens the body, whilst stilling the mind
When my yoga-ing, detoxing guests tell their friends and colleagues that they're going on a yoga detox retreat for their annual holiday, the response is very often one of surprise / shock / concern for their friend's mental health / complete wonder as to WHY?! WHY would anyone in their own right mind not have a holiday where one has the luxury of sleeping in until noon, of eating generous portions of delicious restaurant / hotel food, of drinking lavish amounts of alcohol without worrying about the consequences... etc. etc.??

Rumi's Art in Monchique Portugal

4/2/2012

6 Comments

 
For those of you who don't know, the thirteenth century Sufi poet and mystic, Rumi, holds a special place in my heart.
My introduction to Rumi and Sufism was through the author Reshad Field and his book 'The Last Barrier'.
I was living in London at the time (1992), and it was as if this book spoke to me on every page with all the synchronicities that kept jumping out at me! It took me by the hand and put me on 'the way'.
In 'The Last Barrier', Field tells the beautiful Sufi story by Rumi - 'Chinese Art and Greek Art'. It has stayed with me all these years...
