Mallorca Retreat
Located near Deia, our secluded retreat property enjoys breathtaking views of the Mediterranean sea, while surrounded by millennial olive groves. The house comprises of eight bedrooms set on four floors, a large kitchen, two sitting rooms, a yoga studio and a small library. There are beautiful terraces with sea views, an infinity swimming pool and a shady pergola area perfect for alfresco meals.
You’ll practice yoga twice each day with Naomi, starting your day with meditation and pranayama before delving deep into your practice and experiencing a balance of compassion-based Vinyasa and slow restorative practices.
Between classes book a massage with our local therapist and enjoy sun lounging or reading by the pool, taking in the views and enjoying the peace and the occasional sound of sheep bells ringing from the terraced hill side. Mid retreat you’ll have the option to join a private boat trip around the island where you’ll find some beautiful swimming spots hidden in the quiet coves.
Enjoy peaceful mornings and gentle days filled with plenty of yoga, interesting conversations with new friends. Share delicious food and magical sunsets, starry nights and deep restful sleep.

New Year, Same You! A workshop via Zoom(recording available)
‘If you can think of times in your life that you’ve treated people with extraordinary decency and love, and pure uninterested concern, just because they were valuable as human beings. The ability to do that with ourselves. To treat ourselves the way we would treat a really good, precious friend. Or a tiny child of ours that we absolutely loved more than life itself. And I think it’s probably possible to achieve that. I think part of the job we’re here for is to learn how to do this’ David Foster Wallace
New year, same you! Time to befriend yourself with some heart nourishing practice and physically enlivening flow. Using mindfulness meditation techniques and yoga asana, this workshop will be an opportunity to meet yourself where you are and where you might be. All levels welcome.
Tenderness
This time of year can be overwhelming and very stimulating and this workshop is to take a pause in the busy holiday schedule. Join me at the Yoga on the Lane, Dalston for a cosy, candle-lit meditation and slow flow. Price: £40
Wilderness: Breathing books with Phlox.
I’d always been a bit suspicious about the booky bits of festivals. I’d always imagined they would be kind of an afterthought, done to give a boozy weekender a veneer of cultural respectability. Then Phlox invited me to speak at the literary tent that they ran at last year’s Wilderness and I am now a total convert. It was a beautifully put together roster of brilliant writers talking to large audiences in a stunning tented bookshop. They are incredible at what they do and I am so thrilled they’ve invited me back this year.
Community festival with Russell and Laura Brand
Come join me for 3 days at COMMUNITY 2023 with Laura & Russell Brand.
Hay-On-Wye
Timber festival
Timber festival returns to the National Forest from 7-9 July 2023.
I’ll be offering some family yoga and there’s so much more to look forward to at this special festival.
Step into an incredible weekend festival of celebration, debate and reflection in the National Forest. Timber invites you to stand up and be counted as we rethink our relationship with trees and forests.
Gather with artists, musicians and writers, as they respond and react to the forest in bold and exhilarating ways.
Activists and makers will invite you to join them in a joyous celebration of nature. The rebels and the unexpected from the worlds of music, art, performance and wellbeing will play, provoke and inspire as we change the world.
With a talks programme including Raynor Winn and Simon Armitage, alongside a wellness offering of woodland saunas, as well as workshops, theatre, and woodland craft - come and immerse yourself in a weekend that will inspire the mind and restore the body.

As the sun goes down: an online workshop
A workshop to move slowly, unhurried – a mantra of ‘I am going to take my time’ to harness the power and the strength in this slow-time. A chance to flow through some playful vinyasa practice, to experience some lightness of mind and being. A workshop where you can come as yourself and celebrate you, just as you are. Teachings to remind you of your power and support for self-agency and deep enquiry in breath work and meditation to support deep and rejuvenating rest.
Everyone and every body welcome. Accessible practice for all. Please reach out if you have questions. Recording available for two weeks
Price: £35 (FREE for my subscribers)
