Wellness Program: Yoga, Meditation and Workshops
This retreat is suitable for all levels of yoga experience from beginners through to those with an established yoga practice.
There will be energising and uplifting morning yoga (not too early…you are on holidays!), designed to put a spring in your step. The sunset yoga sessions will be restorative and gentle. We’ll explore guided relaxation and yoga breathing techniques called pranayama.
As we watch the waves on the beach, we’ll watch the waves of our own breath, the ebb and flow of thought and of sensation; we’ll remember to gently trust in the flow of life.
You will leave Shoreham more in tune with your body and mind, better equipped to manage the stressors of daily life.

Lisa Allwell
Lisa is a yoga and meditation teacher. Her classes focus on cultivating well-being and mindfulness. She has a passion for using principals of anatomical alignment to help you find a yoga practice that works perfectly for you. Lisa has developed a strong following of students who are drawn to her creative, nurturing teaching style.
You’ll participate in a light-hearted contemporary practice to balance mind, body and spirit. Life is often serious and perplexing, so Lisa’s aim is to encourage you forget about your ‘to do’ list, your issues and challenges for the duration of each yoga class.
Her favourite yoga asana is the smile, and she aims to encourage her students to strive for lightness, vitality and balance, both on and off the yoga mat. Lisa sincerely try to meet each student at where they are at in their yoga, helping them to get the most from each pose, each practice, each breath.
It’s Lisa’s clear intention that you leave this retreat feeling energised, peaceful and fabulous.
Ryan Chhajed
Ryan loves movement and yoga. Ryan believes that the yoga mat is a great place to find a sense of contentment, self-awareness, and mind body connection. Ryan believes that yoga is not a "one size fits all" practice, and that every person is on a different path. As such he finds immense joy, satisfaction, and inspiration in seeing students discover their own personal yoga journey and hopes to nurture and encourage them along the way.
