In the meantime...

Why not join our Course Director, Andrea Kuypers, for a UK-based retreat in the Scottish countryside. 

Expert teaching, home cooked food and luxury accommodation in a beautiful setting, the emphasis will be on learning through enjoyment and relaxation.
The course will start with introductions and dinner on Friday evening followed by two days of morning yoga, workshops on tone, breathing and musicality, Q and A sessions and ensemble playing.
​
We will finish after dinner on Sunday evening but for those able to stay on your room will be available until 10am on Monday morning giving you a nice slow start to your week ahead.
