Together we wish to welcome you to a new addition to the conventional Yoga and Retreat Holiday Market. We offer you the chance to ‘kick-back’ your heels and evaluate your lives in the peace and quiet of some of the most picturesque beaches around the world. Our team of highly experienced, staff offer you an opportunity to change your life!

Sometimes it is good to let go and just “Breathe”! We will welcome you with simple comfortable accommodations, delicious local cuisine, acclimatise you to the area and then begin with our professional consultations, treatments and sports (including our favourite:- Yoga!) All aspects of the holiday have been devised to offer a relaxing respite from the day to day running of your normal lifestyles.

We enjoy setting our holidays by “Water” – as we believe it is one of Nature’s most powerful healers. How many times do you step under a shower, jump into a relaxing bath, dive into a swimming pool and suddenly feel all the pressures of your day – disappear?...You sigh, begin to sing and finally “unwind” in water – so we ask ... How do you feel when you ‘stop’!?...

Well, we believe it can be good to spend as much time as possible:- by the sea, waterfalls, swimming pools, lakes and water ways, and just “be”!... When we stop and look from a distance at our current lives, we can see the possibilities and opportunities we may have missed. When we start to work on ourselves – during our holiday time – we can begin to make the changes we need to bring about and that is when our team can step in. When we take responsibility for our actions - we can bring about change. Usually the only time we want to change – is when something is not working in our lives.

We experience an unforeseen event, the onset of an illness... or some-one near to us leaves us - in one form or another and we “feel” Loss. How we choose to deal with our issues is up to us. No one can change you – except You! Here are some things we have ‘learnt’ over the years of our own careers.

The more we physically “move” our bodies – the more we “connect” with ourselves. The more we “cleanse” our systems – from the inside out (aka Detox!) – the more we can “connect with our thoughts”!.

The more we “connect with our thoughts” – the more we” know” what we are looking for, (remember to listen to our own best friend – our “Gut” Intuition). Intuition is never wrong – your first thoughts/ feelings/ ideas about new people – new situations you find yourself in – are the ones you need to pay attention to the most. In relationships – how some-one ‘looks’ to you, is not necessarily as someone is to you! The old wives tale of “Never Judge a Book By its Cover” is self evident – but with daily pressure from Press, TV and Media to be something we are told to be - it is getting harder and harder to maintain your own sense of ‘Self’! So our advice is – rely on your Gut Intuition in all matters where judgement and weighing things up comes into play.

Detoxed bodies produce detoxed ‘Minds’ - therefore when new thoughts come to us – we suddenly know the answer and automatically know ways of getting what we want or need.

Considering joining us to learn more? Well, may we kindly suggest, there will need to be a few things – to prepare before your trip – to help you make that change:-
(1) a willingness to admit that what you are doing now, is not getting you what you want.

(2) that you will be happy to ‘move’ yourself - physically – to help you to ‘think’. To move can be to:- walk – meditate in yoga – climb a local beauty spot – swim in the sea – any of the above or something else you like to do!

(3) you will allow others ‘in’ - to help you get - ‘out’ ...As a team we have helped people with the onset of an illness, the remission from an illness, the loss of a loved one, the ‘Break-Up’ of a major relationship, the shift in lifestyle brought on by:- a new baby, job loss or job gain, move of house and/or new location, money issue...

(4) All of the team members have been there at some time in our journey – all of us understand – that feeling of “WHY is this really happening to ME”?....We want to help! Our two companies offer you the chance to learn or practise:- Yoga • Pilates • Tai Chi • Qi Kong • Meditation • Experience Classic Chinese Medicine Treatments and Remedies • Try new land based sports, water based sports, Reiki Healing Circles one on one therapies including many styles of massage (including Tuina, Thai, Swedish, Aromatherapy) • One on one healings • psychic readings • astrology charts • tarot • and most of all - give each one of you :- unconditional non-judgemental friendship.

There are no right or wrong things you can say or share with us. We are here to help you. Over the years we have all learnt one thing. “LOVE” in all its shapes and forms - overcomes everything. LOVE begins with YOU. Until you LOVE YOURSELF – it is impossible to for anyone else to love you. People can like you, relate to you, sit with you each and every day. But, for you to feel complete Joy in your heart – to feel that all encompassing feeling of belonging to anyone else – you need to be “Whole” yourself.... to be that – you first need to LOVE YOURSELF.

How many times have well-meaning friends offered you the small piece of advice – “Work on Yourself”.... (and you reply – What do you mean - I am perfectly fine”?!.) Well, if you are “fine” – you may want to come and work for us in the future!

All of the team ‘work for your best interests’ - from the day you arrive until the day you leave. There may be an opportunity for therapeutic ‘follow-ups’ with our staff – via emails - and naturally they can be ‘in person’ if you live in the same country, as someone who has been treating you.

All holidays have degree of flexibility built in to them... Please enquire over modifying your dates and the charges incurred to apply them. (If we get charged modification costs from our suppliers of accommodations/ therapy rooms/ transport etc., we need to pass them on – but we will try to keep them, to a minimum.) All Last Minute Bookings are possible – sometimes at a varying cost, but we do our best to accommodate everyone. Life happens when we all least expect it!

We hope you enjoy the “Journey” called “Life” and have fun, happiness, continued health and good fortune, getting there... Namaste!
