Upcoming Yoga Retreats..

 I have decided to have a year off from offering retreats, to focus more deeply on my own yoga practice but will be planning one in the new year, to share here for Spring 2027.

I’d love to meet you there!

Here are some words from a few of the lovely guests who came to my last retreats in Wales and southern Spain in 2025..

‘Leonie brings to her retreats care, an impressive breadth of knowledge and a life lived by the yogic principles that she holds to be true. All this creates retreats that wonderfully combine meditation practices, yoga and other loveliness’ – Paul Cruthers

 “I have recently done a retreat with Leonie which was extraordinary excellent yoga sessions, meditation, philosophy and a lovely full moon ritual. I find Leonie`s teaching stimulating and clear. It is delivered in such a relaxed way which I think comes from her deep knowledge, confidence and belief in what she is offering. Being taught in this way creates a great atmosphere, This was my third retreat with her and I look forward to more” – Lynne Dickens

                                                                                                         

 “The retreat you lead in Wales was exactly what I needed to restore some balance in my life, to reconnect me to my inner strength and to reinvigorate my own practice. Thank you for sharing yourself and your knowledge so generously.’

Chandra Mcgowan

“I loved Leonie’s retreat in the Alpujarras so much – I feel restored, transformed and rejuvenated! My body and spirit are deeply grateful for the rich, nourishing schedule of yoga, meditation, walking, shaking, dancing, vedic philosophy, delicious ayurvedic food and lovely company. I felt such a sense of safety and grounding in the way that Leonie held us all in the retreat space with her generous support, care and inspiration. I will definitely be retreating with Leonie again.”

Louise, Hove

“As someone who loves yoga and has done a huge amount of it in different styles and studios, from grassroots to high end, I can honestly say that Leonie’s way of teaching is second to none. 

I am a busy, somewhat restless person. I have never done as much meditation as I did with Leonie, nor did I think I was capable of doing so! What makes Leonie’s retreats and classes so special is that she is so deeply committed to the ethos and philosophy of yoga. She knows the history, every aspect of its attendant practices philosophy and is constantly deepening her knowledge with trips to her teachers in India and a daily devotional practice of her own. She creates a space where you are able to not only stretch and relax but open your self up to spiritual and emotional shifts. 

And as an experience, the whole trip was perfectly planned with incredible attention to detail. The place we stayed, up in the Sierra Nevada mountains, was absolutely stunning. We went on amazing walks and expeditions as well as having down time to relax and read and dip in the pool. And the food – we were utterly spoilt with an Ayurvedic chef who cooked incredible, wildly varied meals, including amazing puddings! The retreat was less than a week but I feel more rested in my body and my whole self than I have felt on other trips twice as long. If you get the chance to go on retreat with Leonie – or attend one of her classes – jump at it. I intend to go every year from now on so I will see you there!”

Rebecca Johnson

“Thank you so much for a wonderful few days at a beautiful retreat.

From meeting everyone at the airport, to arriving at the retreat, I knew I would enjoy my experience.   The location was beautiful and the owners were friendly and helpful.

The Yoga and meditation sessions were amazing!  Leonie was very attentive, noticing when I was incorrectly positioned.  Learning about Chakras, the philosophy of Yoga and chanting was a bonus.  I feel so rejuvenated from the whole experience.

I am looking forward to joining her online classes and hopefully, another retreat next year!”
