About this Retreat
Emily is the founder of Wild Thing Retreats and The Movement, a yoga studio in Sussex, England. Originally from southern California and with a background in dance, Emily has been practicing yoga since 2000 and teaching since 2014. She’s a senior yoga teacher with Yoga Alliance Professionals, and has run yoga teacher trainings and retreats all over the world.
She discovered yoga in 2000 in a warehouse in Los Angeles with a hundred people crammed together mat-to-mat, and has been hooked ever since. Yoga has seen her through ten years in Corporate America, a professional dance career, motherhood (still in the trenches on that one!) and now she’s sharing what she’s learned and learning along the way. She’s constantly learning about the body, the breath, the spirit, how we move, why we move, and how it all relates... and this exploration fascinates her and keeps her moving, breathing, and trying to share her findings.
She enjoys teaching a slow but strong vinyasa flow, mixed with pranayama, restorative, and yoga nidra. She’s passionate about using the breath as a tool to create change in the body and the mind, and aims to create a space for people to improve their lives from the inside out.
When not teaching yoga, she is hanging out with her two teenage boys in the English countryside, travelling, reading, and writing.
Catherine is senior yoga teacher and award-winning spiritual business owner specialising in transformational yoga retreats, spiritual business mentorship and sacred yoga practices.
Her classes focus on self-love, peace and compassion encompassing her vast knowledge of yoga philosophy, Vedanta, theology, Sanskrit and the art of Tarot via live and on-demand services.
She's dedicated to the empowerment of spiritual entrepreneurs within this industry, a keen surfer (eager to improve!), dedicated foodie, and she loves activities which allow her to live most of her life outdoors!
Details of this retreat
Yoga, rainforest walks, woodland sauna, natural pools, resting… magic.
A 3-night escape to one the most unique areas of natural beauty in the UK.
THE VENUE
Cabilla is a 300-acre area of outstanding natural beauty in the heart of Bodmin Moor, Cornwall. Nestled within ancient and undisturbed nature lies 100 acres of rare Atlantic Temperate Rainforest and peaceful wildflower meadows – all paired with contemporary spaces, comfortable accommodation and quiet luxuries.
THE ACCOMODATION
You’ll stay in modern, comfortable Koyts which can be configured for 2 single beds or 1 king. Each Koyt comes with ready-made beds with quality linens and towels, and a woodburner for cozy nights.
Modern bathrooms are a short walk away in the Barns, complete with monsoon showers, underfloor heating, hairdryers and luxury Bramley products.
THE YOGA
Enjoy 6 long, leisurely yoga sessions in either the indoor or outdoor yoga spaces:
Inside The Barns is The Studio: a bright and airy space for yoga no matter the weather outside.
And in the ancient woodland, down by the River Bedalder, you’ll find the outdoor Rainforest Studio: a space for yoga, meditation and soundbaths immersed in the restorative powers of nature.

We intentionally do not ‘over-schedule’ this retreat because the natural setting of Cabilla allows for endless exploration. In your freetime, you might like to:
