A Yoga weekend with Sky
15 - 17 May, Wiltshire
On his first visit to England, I am honoured to be hosting Canadian-born teacher Sky, whose school of yoga, Sama Yoga (the school of balance and harmony) has blessed the lives of many people all over the world. He will travel from his home in Sweden to be with us for a weekend that promises to be full of light and life, rest and relaxation, where you can feel at home with yourself just as you are.
You can attend individual classes or come for the whole weekend to immerse yourself in Sky’s heartfelt teachings. I have practised and studied with Sky since 2012, which was when my true yoga journey began. It will be such a pleasure to share with you the source of my own inspiration to teach and a reminder to follow one’s heart: Sky’s warmth, humanity and depth of knowledge.
May 15 – 17 in Wiltshire at Winterbourne Monkton Community Hall, SN4 9NW

INDIA RETREATS
India Calling 2026
Just back from our February 2026 trip, including two beautiful weeks in Kerala, and we are already planning the next!
Our November retreat later this year, will be an offering of two weeks in South India, including Bangalore and Mysore, followed by a journey through Kerala.
We will begin at the Art of Living International Centre just outside of Bangalore, where you will experience what it is like to stay in an Ashram, with morning sadhana (practice), evening satsang, and a whole host of wonderful happenings in between. We will teach you the Sudarshan Kriya and a personalised mantra-based meditation technique. You will also have an introduction to Ayurveda at the Ashram’s beautiful Panchakarma Centre. We will then hop in our India Calling bus and journey to the sacred temples and palaces of Mysore, up into the hills of Wayanad for its nature and diverse wildlife, down to the beaches of Kannur, and end the trip in Cherai with a visit to the City of Spices, Fort Kochi.
This immersive journey weaves together the ancient practices of Ayurveda, Yoga, Meditation, and sacred ritual, offering a unique space for inner transformation and cultural connection.
Journey of Transformation, South India • 22 Nov – 6 Dec 2026
- My recent trip with India Calling was one of the best things I have ever done for myself, and the benefits I have received (and continue to receive), are amazing.

Who this is for
This retreat is for anyone feeling called to pause, reconnect, and dive deeper – spiritually, emotionally, and physically. No yoga experience is necessary – just an open heart and a sense of curiosity.
Why South India?
The Art of Living Ashram experience in Bangalore is one of a kind – ask anyone who has been before! It’s an essential start for transformative journey.
While Kerala, is a land of flowing waters, sacred traditions, and natural grace. With its rich Ayurvedic heritage, lush landscapes, and peaceful rhythms, it is the ideal setting for spiritual renewal.
- It was the most magical experience. I feel I’m able to fit more into my life, more of the things I love doing. I have more energy, motivation and confidence which is so helpful as I’m in the autistic spectrum.
