Outdoor Yoga & Meditation

Throughout summer 2020, Bryher islander Gem Hansen and Tresco resident Esmée Halliday will guide daily yoga practice on Tresco, with outdoor yoga and meditation to calm your mind and restore positivity and relaxation.

Classes will be limited to five participants and, for the time being, will be held outdoors in a variety of stunning island locations. Take a moment for mindful movement in the serene setting of Tresco Abbey Garden, energise body and mind with vinyasa flow, or find solace in meditation facing the water's edge.

Scheduled classes take place each day, with Gem leading sessions during the week and Esmée leading weekend practice.

Both Gem and Esmée combine their own yogic experience and practice to Tresco's inimitable island environment.

Our resident yogi is Bryher islander Gem Hansen, who leads most of our classes as well as many of our yoga retreats throughout the year. Gem aims to create classes that offer a balance of strength and serenity, welcoming beginners and beyond to the mat. Trained in Vinyasa, Restorative and Yin Yoga, Gem was delighted to share her practices with you in 2019 and looks forward to connecting with you again or welcoming you to Tresco in 2020.

Our guest tutor for summer 2020 is Esmée Halliday. With a background in dance, in spring 2020, Esmée undertook a lifechanging trip to the Himalayas and now intertwines yogic practices with her dance, bringing the Vedantic lineage of Yoga to Tresco.
