As nature reawakens for the season, you are invited to experience the welcoming warmth and light of Spring with island yogi Gem Hansen. Making use of outdoor spaces and Scilly sea air, practices will be rejuvenating with soothing sunshine on your skin, wildflowers decorating the Sea Gardens Lawn and sweeping sea views from the studio.
This retreat welcomes you as you are, acknowledging the true yoga of being present and patient with yourself. An island location offers absolute sanctuary, a slow pace and a kind community create the ultimate backdrop for the contemplative and compassionate traditions of yoga.
On retreat you can expect to relax and re-balance, exploring lightness, joy and serenity. Gem guides each session with an openness and sensitivity to individuals. Comfortable with a range of experience, she welcomes beginners and will also offer extensions to those advancing their practice.
Morning sessions will be slow flow - similar to vinyasa flow but a leisurely pace with extra alignment. Modifications will be offered although this practice is not usually suitable if you have an existing injury (please enquire in advance if you need advice). Please note that as some sessions are held outdoors, just a mat will be provided rather than additional props. Please bring plenty of layers for a restful relaxation. Evening sessions will be slow and nourishing, with the use of soft props.
The break includes:
- Four nights accommodation in a Sea Garden Apartment
- Access to the Tresco Island Spa throughout your stay
- Entrance to Tresco Abbey Garden throughout your stay
- Bike hire throughout your stay
- Six yoga sessions led by Gem
- Complimentary on-island transfers
To book, please contact our reservations team on 01720 422849 or via email.
Non-participating partners are welcome at a cost of £780 per person (yoga excluded), and a single occupancy rate is available on request.
