Flow Life Yoga Retreat with Kate Hiley
Kate began practicing yoga in Paris over 10 years ago and found that over time, it naturally weaved its way into the fabric of her life, eventually training to become a yoga teacher herself.
She lived in Indonesia (on an active Volcano!) for a few years, where she taught yoga in studios and on retreats both in her home on the island of Java, and in Bali.
She currently resides in London where she teaches regular private, corporate and public classes, working with studios such as FLY LDN and Gymbox.
“I’m passionate about teaching and studying yoga and I find the greatest joy in witnessing my students develop a deeper connection with themselves through this amazing practice.
Everyones experience of yoga is unique and I’m here to hold space and support you through your individual journey of the retreat. My classes are fun, playful and most importantly inclusive.
The more I study yoga and all of its facets, the more strongly I believe that the physical practice of yoga should be adaptable for everybody, so that the emotional and spiritual benefits are accessible to all. I hope to create a safe and supportive environment in my classes, where everyone feels welcome and leaves feeling a little lighter and more open, both physically and mentally.”
During this retreat we will explore the playfulness and creativity of yoga flow movement whilst also working with mindfulness, meditation and breath work practices. Guests will be encouraged to explore their own unique range of motion and physical experience of yoga asana, so that they can develop the tools to move more freely and confidently both in their yoga practice and everyday life. We hope that you’ll leave your time here feeling revived and refreshed!
Kate also teaches Mindful Drawing, a practice that helps us to enjoy the benefits of drawing whilst letting go of the need to “get things right”. Through the understanding that drawing is for everyone, it can be a beautiful way to find focus, presence and calm. During the retreat she will also give a Mindful Drawing lesson to guests who would like to try it too!
