The complexity of life brings its joys and challenges. Our darkness shows up in many forms….fear, anxiety, self judgement and criticism and sometimes simply, plain old overwork and lack of self care. Yoga  offers a rich tapestry of both old and new ‘science’ to guide and support us through, if we can consistently tap in and nourish ourselves.

Where is the light we all seek?

Perhaps, in the letting go, the freeing up of old patterns of thought and behaviour, in the being, the seeing, the allowing. Create possibilities and nurture yourself as you move towards the light.  Lighten up and let this retreat be a gift to yourself.

About Julie Robinson

I am a busy yoga therapist and yoga teacher working online and in the Grantham and Nottingham areas. I am also honoured to be a guest lecturer for The Minded Institute and offer specific CPD teacher trainings and retreats each year.

Qualifying initially as a teacher in 2004 my development has been a wonderful journey of discovery spanning almost 18 years. I teach mindful and enquiring hatha yoga, yin yoga, yoga to support calm living and restful sleeping, and I have a particular interest and experience in therapeutic yoga for cancer. As a Yoga Therapist trained with The Minded Institute, I now see a wide range of clients with varying physical and mental health needs. 

I have been running retreats for over 10 years now and am honoured to have guests join me repeatedly. My retreats are definitely not boot camp style as my teaching offers a fusion of influences and experiences. My hope always, is to cultivate a welcoming, sharing and all inclusive sangha. Come and join me in this beautiful country ... let's explore and have fun!
