About this Retreat
Soph specialises in delivering a soft and nurturing flow —perfect for those tired post-surf bodies. To balance the calmer classes she also teaches more dynamic elemental flows.
With over 400 hours of training in Hatha, Mandala, Yin & Pre-natal she has a wealth of experience to deliver a variety of classes throughout the week.
Having taught at some of London’s finest studios, namely Basic Space (London), she is currently the lead recovery yoga instructor for the highly regarded luxury fitness retreat company, Salt Escapes (International).

When guided by Josh, you can expect a fluid and thoughtful vinyasa flow, connecting deeply to your breath, body, and mind.
Josh’s playful personality combined with his 300 hours+ of training in yoga and breathwork enables him to deliver a purposeful, yet high spirted class.
Yoga has been an integral part of Josh's life for over a decade and he loves being able to share it with others.
When not on the mat, Josh can be found catching some waves, facilitating cold plunges or entertaining all things earth, getting his hands in the soil.
