My retreats are more than a pause — they are a healing space, a reset, and often a powerful first step or continuation toward something new or long-forgotten within you. One step closer to your true potential. Whether a one-day gathering or a weekend immersion, each retreat offers a doorway back to your body, your breath, and a deeper sense of self.
No two retreats are alike, but all are energising and expansive, restful and deeply reflective. Through a blend of Hatha and Kundalini Awakening Yoga, meditation, movement, stillness, and through sacred ritual, a special space is created for real transformation — grounded in presence, care, and intention.
At times, I also share a simplified Japanese tea ceremony — a practice I was honoured to
study while living in Japan. Rooted in mindfulness and quiet reverence, this ritual invites us
to slow down and be fully present, one sip at a time.
Retreats often include
- Mindful movement and Kundalini Awakening Yoga
- Breath, mantra, and meditative practices
- Silence, rest, and space to reflect
- Time in nature to restore rhythm and clarity
- The essence of Japanese tea ceremony — presence in practice

Yoga for Grieving Hearts
1st June 2026
Grieving Hearts Yoga
Grief doesn’t always look the way we expect it to.
Sometimes it’s the loss of a person.
Sometimes it’s the end of a relationship, a chapter, a version of yourself you thought you’d always be.
Sometimes it’s a quiet weight you’ve been carrying so long you’ve stopped noticing it — until your body reminds you it’s still there.
This day is not about fixing any of that. It is about giving it room 🤍
In the Japanese tradition of Omotenashi — wholehearted, unhurried welcome — we begin from the simple premise that you deserve a space where nothing is required of you except your presence.
No performance.
No pushing.
No pressure to feel better.
Just a carefully held day in beautiful surroundings, with practices that meet you exactly where you are 🌿
What the day holds
We move gently through grief yoga — slow, somatic practices that allow emotion to shift and soften without force.
We breathe together, sit in stillness, and walk the Cooley Hills in the kind of quiet that only good company and open landscape can offer 🍃
There is time for reflection and journaling, for restorative rest, and for the particular comfort of a nourishing vegan lunch and homemade cake shared around a table with people who understand.
You do not need yoga experience.
You do not need to explain yourself or your grief.
You only need to come.

Feedback example from one person (Vicky) said”
“My experience attending the grieving yoga sessions has been very positive. The first session was emotionally tough, intense…but so worthy, it was liberating.
I felt a release from all the emotions that I had stuck for a long time, that I didn’t allow myself to express or accept.
Jackie has that effect on people around her, bringing peace, calm and positive vibes.
This yoga sessions didn’t disappoint at all and I’m glad we have the chance to enjoy more of them.
Keep them coming.”
