What was included:
To keep our retreats more accessible, they are
non-residential. We offer all the yoga, workshops, sauna and a group dinner included in the price. Accommodation, travel and foodare not included. We’d like to give participants the option to have more freedom and flexibility around where they would like to stay, and how long they choose to make their trip, and if they’re travelling with family/friends.

Retreat Hosts:

Gina first started practicing Yoga in 2006 in her late teens — since then, her practice has led her to explore many styles of Yoga including Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Hatha, Rocket, Yin, Restorative and Yoga Nidra lineages. She has been teaching for 6 years in both London, St Leonards & Hastings, where she co-founded Ashtanga Yoga Hastings with Andy. Alongside teaching her own Ashtanga & Yin classes, she assists him in the Mysore self-practice space and is undergoing an ongoing apprenticeship and mentoring in Ashtanga Yoga.

From years of personal experience and practice, she believes strongly in the benefits of the Ashtanga Vinyasa framework and method. Gina sees Yoga as a personal practice and aims to create an environment where each practitioner feels supported and encouraged to explore their own potential, and strengthen the mind-body-soul connection. 

Lilli is a fully certified Acupuncture practitioner who completed training in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). She will be drawing on The Five Element philosophy within this retreat and how to use these principles within daily restorative practices.

She is also a highly qualified yoga practitioner, with training in Hatha, Sivananda, Yoga Nidra and more recently in Yin Yoga with Norman Blair.

The Location

Lime House Yoga Studio is the only purpose built yoga studio in the country. It’s been designed from the ground up with one purpose in mind: to create a space that is nurturing, inspiring but mostly friendly, where they continue to create a community through yoga.

With community in mind, Andy has a personal connection to Jock (Studio Founder) through their teacher John Scott — they were both part of his senior yoga teaching team. Jock has brought his meticulous attention to detail to this wonderful, creative and inspiring yoga space, and we’re extremely excited to be bringing our community of students back to Cornwall.

Lime House Yoga was the perfect setting for their excellent Ashtanga, Yoga Nidra and Elementals classes. I learnt so much and felt so much stronger and more relaxed after four days. Truly transformative!
