Hi everyone,
Hi everyone and greetings from the Magic Island.
Having just returned from Tokyo I’m now getting ready to head to the UK for a workshop at Indaba Yoga on April 16th. These events are great fun and massively powerful, but if you feel like something deeper and more intensive you have a choice: come to my first ever retreat in the UK at 42 Acres in Somerset in early May, or head over to the Lanzarote retreat which runs year-round. Details of both below…

It’s the ‘depths’ of Winter here and currently doing 23 degrees C and sunny. This is the kind of Winter I can relate to ;0). Lots of good stuff on the go at the moment. I’ll be over for workshops and 1-1 sessions at the end of next week at CAMYOGA January 31st and Indaba Yoga February 7th. I’ll also be hosting an Introduction to Breathwork evening for and at Soho House on Tuesday February 2nd at 7:30pm….

Room to breathe
“…While this ‘connective breath’ is billed as a form of self-healing, the best way to master the technique is at an introductory workshop. They take place regularly across the UK, with trained ‘facilitators’ on hand to whisper affirmations in your ear and gently apply pressure to areas such as your shoulders to help release what are termed ‘blockages’.
A one-to-one session with breath coaches can make for a more powerful practice, but to experience TB in true style, head to one of Dolan’s retreats in Lanzarote. They take place in a stylish villa with views of the island’s volcanic landscape. Guests who have raved about their stay include Bond star Naomie Harris and England international rugby ace Paul Sampson, who credits TB with helping him combat exercise-induced asthma…”
