Yoga & Meditation
Let Tresco's blend of yogic practice and island escapism calm your mind and restore positivity and relaxation...
Our island yogis offer a range of yoga practice and meditation on Tresco with private and group classes throughout the year.
When the weather is fine, classes take place in various inimitable island locations, from Appletree Bay's white sands to the Abbey Garden's subtropical splendour.
At other times, classes take place in the Flying Boat Studio - this light, bright space overlooks New Grimsby sound and Bryher beyond and is an ideal location to lose yourself as you find your flow.
As well as group classes, private tuition is also available - please get in touch with tutors to discuss your requirements.
Year round yoga with islander Gem
Islander Gem Hansen offers Yoga classes and private tuition throughout the year. Yoga has taken Gem from Falmouth to Bali and she now has her 900 hours certification. Gem teaches vinyasa, restorative and yin on Tresco and continues to be a student of yoga and eastern philosophy, aiming to continuously add to her offering.
During the main season, from April to October, Gem's classes take place several days a week in various island locations. In the summer months, this includes awakening Yoga in the Abbey Garden or on the Sea Garden Lawn, and beach meditation sessions to start the day (weather permitting with Flying Boat Studio as back up). Gem also adds in evening classes throughout the season and these take place in the Flying Boat Studio overlooking Tresco Channel.
New to Tresco for 2026 is Qi Gong - a calming movement practice to support relaxation and energetic flow; this ancient Chinese modality promotes balance and vitality. No experience required, open to beginners.
Through the winter months, private tuition is available on request, as well as restorative sessions - a soothing stillness practice.
For all details on group classes or private tuition, call Gem on 07841 718088, email her or click below to see the class schedule and book via her website.
Summer yoga and sound baths with Katalin
Katalin’s journey with yoga and sound healing began in India, where she has spent every winter for the past six years deepening her practice and reconnecting with herself. Yoga profoundly changed her life, guiding her back to her body, her breath, and her inner world.
Now, as she shares these practices through teaching yoga and leading sound baths, her intention is simple—to offer a space where others can experience what she felt in India: stillness, connection, and transformation. For Katalin, it is both a joy and a calling to hold that space for others.
Katalin offers regular evening classes - please click below to find out more and make a booking.
