A day retreat for yoga teachers to reflect on gifts given and received in teaching You give a lot, you get a lot, and today let’s take stock. As we close this long autumn term and look forward to 2027, are there changes you want to make, visions you want to realise? On the day we move between cognitive process (using words with journalling prompts and circle) and dreamy understanding (restorative, meditation walk and nidra) for deeper insight and inspiration. It is the feast of Saint Nicholas, aka Sinta Klaas, whose gifts saved lives and gave purpose. Let’s tune to abundance and an evolving life aligned to our dharma with liminal practices, at the liminal place of VG. No one quite understands the joys and pains of teaching like other teachers. Come away feeling seen, valued and freshly encouraged. Fiona is a long-experienced yoga teacher and holder of space. Also a life and business coach, she believes our purpose is to become more ourself and wisely chanel our unique gifts in service of a whole life, ours and others’. Yoga practices are gifts that support this. On the retreat: Plus delicious vegan soulfood to nourish, and a warm, welcoming space. Take a look at the coaching page about bringing your life and creativity into alignment with your action in the world. Stay for a 1-1 coaching session at the special retreat rate, special retreat rate £70/hour See all day retreats Here’s a yoga nidra on the theme The Gift, and a blog on living an aligned life What a wonderful day. Fiona invites you to be where you are and to find what you need. I gained insights from the retreat day as well as finding a deeper peace about my life. A beautiful mix of yoga practice, solo space, communal engagement, gentle teaching, nourishing food, nature walks to name some of the gifts. An experienced retreat leader and coach – highly recommended.” As a yoga teacher and bodywork therapist I’ve found nurturance, simplicity, beauty and a connection back to myself at Viveka. The summer August teacher retreats have given me some much needed renewal and capacity back . Fiona is a great facilitator, host and cook and invites you to share the beautiful space she has created. Give your self some space for reflection to take a breath, do yoga, sleep, walk, write or read .. a very special place. S, Newark When I decided to book in for some coaching, it was one of the first important steps to putting myself first. It felt alien, but has really helped me on my journey to prioritising myself, and really getting to know what matters to me/what I stand for. For so long, I’ve lived my life for other people and fallen prey to the pandemic of people pleasing. Fiona helped me to listen to my own voice and feelings by reflecting back my thoughts in a way that has helped me have enough confidence to guide me on the rest of my journey in this crazy thing called life. I’m truly excited for what is to come and have already started doing things I’d have never let myself believe I could do before! Don’t think about it too much, just book in! G, NHS to own innovative project It’s my third retreat here now I think! I love Viveka Gardens and whether it’s a yoga teachers’ retreat, or a general retreat, it’s just what I need to recharge my batteries, connect with people, and immerse myself in my yoga practice. Beautiful space, great food and atmosphere. Camilla, Buckfastleigh 10 – 4 £85 Viveka Gardens is keen to make yoga available to all – bursaries for those on benefit/low income.
