Esmée ( hello ) will be your main movement practitioner throughout the retreat.
If you haven’t practiced with me before, my inspiration for movement & healing stem far and wide.
Originally trained as a contemporary dancer, my passion for movement lies in its ability to reconnect us back to our bodies. As a Master teacher in Sattva yoga, I play with a style that integrates sequential movement, hands on adjustments, Himalayan breath work whilst weaving wisdom into every class. I believe its this key thread of wisdom which allows us to elevate our minds as well as our bodies.
I’m interested in teaching humans. Real people at any stage of their yoga journey. Whatever your entry point, my intention is to make this practice open to all that decide to roam the path.
Increasing strength & suppleness, whilst creating mental clarity, the flow of this practice will open both the mind & heart to the brilliance of life.
moving up, expanding out, living for joy
