The morning session will be around 2 hours or more and will be followed by a nutritious breakfast . It will be the more vigorous and dynamic practise. A creative, playful and explorative ‘deep flow’ asana practice emphasising the breath, mindfulness and skilful appropriate action that will – by using and building up through a range of appropriate options – allow students, from the less experienced to the more advanced, to discover how to find and work peacefully at the level appropriate to them.
The late afternoon session is around 1.5 hours and will be a more mellow, soothing and nurturing practice, delving into areas such as yin yoga, restoratives, pranayama, chakras and meditation.
Lunch is provided with free time to walk, enjoy the pool, read etc in between the yoga sessions… There will be evening meal on 5 evenings. The remaining 2 evenings - we invite you to explore the island and taste the beautiful seasonal cuisine on offer. We will happily provide you with some great recommendations!

About the hosts:
Jeff Phenix is British Wheel of Yoga accredited and 500 hour Yoga Alliance certified. He is a leading teacher who also trains yoga students to become yoga teachers. He teaches at both of London’s top yoga centres - Triyoga (Primrose Hill and Soho branches) and The Life Centre in Notting Hill.
Jeff is inspiring and popular as a teacher because of his passion and unique style, which emphasises the true spirit of yoga. Strong but soft, dynamic yet meditative - a seriously playful emphasis on right and skilful action helps to bring inner peace, balance and harmony.
He enjoys being creative and experimental with his classes working with a variety of themes, ideas, different sequences and a range of postures to help students deepen their practice and understanding. Emphasising a meditative mind and the connection to Spirit teaches us to be present, not on 'automatic pilot', so that we can practice being as fully alive as possible in each moment in every day life - not just on the mat
Yoga has been a constant part of his life for the past 15 years and he has been influenced by and studied with many of the world’s leading yoga teachers including; Shiva Rae, Donna Farhi, Godfrey Devereaux, Simon Low, Sarah Powers, Adhil Palkhivalha, Richard Freeman, Tias Little, Rod Stryker and Alaric Newcombe.
His teaching style reflects these varied influences by incorporating the emphasis on breath and movement of Vinyasa flow, the precision of Iyengar, the heart orientated grace of Anusara, the individualized aspect of Viniyoga and the traditional philosophy and spirituality of the Jivamukti and Satyananda styles.
Who it’s for: Students with (at least) some experience of yoga - looking to deepen their practice and have some fun whilst they do it.
