 This month’s theme :” “ A Practice for Life-Maintaining a Healthy Spine.”

As some of you know, last week I was out in Turkey assisting Simon on his retreat and I thoroughly enjoyed teaching the lovely group a few times. Again, it came home to me that busy lives can impact on the level of care we  need to take, to keep a good range of movement throughout our joints, particularly the spine.

My intention is to teach two vinyasa ( flow of postures) that can be embodied,  so that a 10-15 minute practice daily is manageable. Investing in ourselves, so that as the years fly by, we develop/maintain mobility, strength and stamina, that supports us in our daily living, is essential, I believe!

The day after this retreat I will be 72 and a half and I am so grateful to yoga and Somatics and look forward to finding more ease each and every day!

Also looking forward to seeing you! Please ring or WhatsApp on 07905113415 to make your booking.


For 2026 I have decided to reduce the amount of  retreats, and offer up more availability for private 1-1 or 1-2 group sessions on a Saturday morning or afternoon. I recognise that not everyone feels like a 1-1 practice on Weekdays, particularly with busy work schedules. However, for those who do not have work commitments and would like a 1-1 practice during the week, there is availability.

As many of you are aware, in 2025, together,  (as a faculty member of The Yoga Academy),  with my dear friend Simon Low,  (course Principal), we began a Yoga and Somatics Teacher Training Course. A few years ago I trained as a Somatic Movement Educator and have continued my studies ever since. 
So in 2026, I shall be incorporating more somatic practices into these retreats and will also make available 1-1 sessions purely in Somatics, as well as yoga 1-1.

Reserve precious times to nourish yourself! Devote time for  your well being in 2026!

To me all of life is a question of balance and that is where the balance of flow yoga and restorative yoga can help us to learn more about our approach to life and how we can best promote a helpful balance physically, mentally and emotionally. “The nervous system holds the key to the body’s incredible potential to heal itself.” David Bercelli.

The first half of each of the yoga retreats is a flow practice with statically held asana ( postures) very much led by the breath. The second half will include a some somatic practices, yin and restorative yoga, also with focus on the breath, leaving you refreshed, restored and revitalised. 

There will be a short break when teas and healthy snacks are provided.  If, like me you enjoy coffee, then have some before you come…intentionally I don’t provide it in the break, as from my own experience, it does not facilitate a more restful, relaxed state which is what is cultivated in the second half.

I have a couple of bolsters I can hire out for £5 and if you don’t have one and do not wish to hire, then a pillow wrapped in a bath towel is perfectly fine. I have a few yoga blocks and blankets available.

Last year I had some problems receiving  emails so I apologise if you did not receive a response. Please can I ask if you don’t receive a response within 2 days, then please contact me by phone 07905113415, either ring on WhatsApp, or send me a message on WhatsApp, to make your booking. Places are restricted to a max of 15 and your payment secures your place .

Please read a review from student who attended on 17th October, the gap between lockdowns.

“I have been going to Jane’s Saturday workshops for a few years and I cannot recommend highly enough. To be honest , I was concerned about the last workshop.....not about the virus as I had no doubt Jane would stick to the rules...but more about whether the “ chill out / feeling etc” would be the same. I can honestly say that not only did Jane reassure as by following the government guidelines, but also we all left with the same feeling. Wonderfully relaxed... and that has always been the point for me in attending Jane’ s workshops. Roll on the next one!”
