A Healing Journey, Transformation & Yogic Wisdom
100-Hour Healing Yoga Teacher Training
Have you ever found yourself asking, "Why am I here?" or "What is my purpose?"
Perhaps you feel called to support others on their healing journey, or you sense that there is a deeper way to teach yoga than simply guiding poses and sequences.
You may have attended countless yoga classes, yet still felt that something was missing, a genuine understanding of healing, nervous system regulation, and the body's innate capacity for restoration.
Deep down, you know that healing is possible. You believe the body holds profound wisdom and, when given the right conditions, can move towards balance, resilience, and wellbeing.

Surrounded by nature and far from the distractions of everyday life, the farmhouse offers a tranquil setting for reflection, study, and personal growth. Thick stone walls keep the house cool during the summer months, while the rustic charm of exposed beams, original features, and peaceful outdoor spaces creates an atmosphere of calm and authenticity.

A Place to Rest, Reflect and Reconnect

The peaceful surroundings encourage a natural slowing down, helping you step away from the demands of daily life and reconnect with your body, mind, and spirit. Many participants describe the setting as one of the most healing aspects of the training, offering a rare opportunity to experience the restorative power of simplicity, nature, and community.
Nourishing Plant-Based Cuisine
Your retreat experience includes all meals, refreshments, herbal teas, and drinks throughout your stay, allowing you to relax fully and focus on your learning, wellbeing, and personal transformation.
Food is an integral part of the healing journey. Each meal is thoughtfully prepared by Tandy, a certified High Raw Vegan Chef and qualified holistic nutrition practitioner, whose passion lies in creating vibrant, nutrient-dense cuisine that nourishes both body and soul.
Guided by the philosophy, "Eat for your health and the health of the planet," the menu celebrates the healing power of whole, plant-based foods. Every dish is crafted using fresh, seasonal ingredients and designed to support energy, vitality, digestion, and overall wellbeing.
Each day begins with an alkalising green juice and a selection of fresh organic fruits to gently awaken the body and provide sustained energy for morning practice.
Lunches are colourful, abundant, and naturally gluten-free, featuring an inspiring variety of raw and lightly prepared plant-based dishes. Rich in enzymes, antioxidants, fibre, and phytonutrients, these meals help support digestion, mental clarity, and cellular health.
Evening meals are warm, satisfying, and deeply nourishing, providing a balance of plant proteins, healthy fats, complex carbohydrates, and essential micronutrients. Carefully designed to replenish the body after a day of study and practice, dinners showcase delicious combinations of vegetables, legumes, whole grains, herbs, nuts, and seeds, ensuring every meal is both nutritious and enjoyable.
Throughout the retreat, guests can enjoy a variety of herbal teas, filtered water, and healthy refreshments, creating a supportive environment for rest, renewal, and healing.

Why Healing Yoga Matters

These practices help cultivate resilience, improve emotional wellbeing, enhance recovery, and support a deeper connection to ourselves and the world around us.
