Looking for a simple yoga retreat without all the frills (again)?
SORRY, THE ROOMS ARE FULLY BOOKED. THERE ARE ONLY TWO SPOTS LEFT FOR CAMPERS (at $500 per person, see below).
But do email me to get on the waitlist just in case some participants have to pull out or to get for first dibs for the next retreat. Inspired by the overwhelming response (for this one, the rooms were booked out in four days), I'm already planning the next one to be held in November 2026 or January 2027.
***********************
The dates for Back to Basics 2 are set.
Friday 8 to Sunday 10 May 2026!
It's not much different from the first one in 2024. Why change a winning recipe? It's at another location but still affordable, down-to-earth, yoga-filled. Suitable for all levels. And this time I'm sneaking in a little bit of Qigong as well...
To book, please send an email to [email protected].
Included:*
- 7 yoga classes varying between 60-120 minutes depending on the time of the day
- 2 workshops
- 7 breakfast/brunches/dinners/snacks catered by the amazing Sarah from Real Food Life
- unlimited coffee, tea water throughout the day
- free time after each meal

The small print:
Still no frills included. That means no sharing circles, no tarot cards, no holotropic breathing, no fasting, no cacao ceremonies, no journalling, no acro yoga, no ecstatic dancing, no astrology readings, no puppy yoga, no sound, forest nor ice bathing, no vitamin drips, no inner peace promises, no psoas massages, no rejuvenation attempts, no levitation workshops.
You are absolutely welcome to do or organise any or all of the wonderful things above for yourself or for the group during our stay at Riverdell, there are plenty of spaces on the property, indoors and outdoors for extra activities.
I, however, only offer asana, pranayama, mudra, meditation and some mantra chanting. In other words: yoga. And food. And a bed (or a camping spot).

Inclusion details:
- The yoga practices include a variety of asana styles: Hatha, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Yin, Heart Coherence Movement, Nidra & Restorative and are ADAPTABLE and SUITABLE for all levels of yoga students. If you are dealing with injuries or medical conditions that limit your mobility, please contact me so we can discuss your options.
- Each practice, we also do meditation and pranayama (breathing exercises) and I sometimes add mudras (hand gestures) and a mantra (chanting) here and there.
- During the yoga workshops, we dive a little deeper into topics/practices that you might have encountered in regular yoga classes but not really had the time to ask questions about. This year we'll look at new Hand Mudras and more Myofascial Release through Yin, rolling and acupressure.
- After each meal (except after lunch on Sunday), you have a couple of hours of spare time. Aside from resting and digesting, you can do anything you want. Do as much or as little as you want!
- The food is freshly prepared with much love and passion by Sarah. All meals are vegetarian but she can cater for any dietary requirements. Please let me know when you book.
