Retreats
A yoga experience designed to bring you into deep connection with nature, community, yourself and your Self. When you step away from your daily habits, responsibilities and stresses, and enter an intentional space of presence, what is possible for you to feel? To think? To glimpse? To embody? What joy and insight are waiting for you? We’ll explore using the practices of yoga as a tool for our homecoming: to meet ourselves, and our lives, with clarity, kindness, and the potency of spirit.

Each of Nancy’s classes is designed to offer a well-balanced physical experience combining specific asanas through intelligent and creative sequences. Additionally, Nancy challenges her students to work toward mindful presence and awareness in each class. Most importantly, Nancy has the rare gift of genuine compassion and authenticity that creates a sincere and honest experience for her students in every class..”

“I practice yoga to reconnect with what is real. Nancy has a teaching method that does just that and more. She inspires me to be free and boundless. Her beautiful soul illuminates the studio and her wholehearted approach radiates through her compassionate guidance. Effortlessly, she directs you back to the present moment where you feel anything is possible even when you’re having one of those days where you want to withdraw and escape. I’m continually awestruck at how calm and grounded I feel after taking one of her classes. I emerge restored and with openness and clarity in my heart. Transformed with a more quiet mind and a pure sense of wonderment always keeps me coming back. With love and so much gratitude.”

“Nancy offers an active yet balancing class with, led with an open heart and a grounding presence. As a student, these elements allow for inward reflection and facilitate a connection to the mind and body. While Nancy has a solid working knowledge of anatomy, asana, and how to skillfully instruct structural integrity within poses, her classes go beyond asana into the deeper aspects of yoga as she interweaves philosophy, the chakras, the elements, meditation, and pranayama throughout class. As both a student and teacher of yoga, Nancy both offers the type of class that I am inspired to take and the type of class that I aspire to teach.”

“Nancy's teaching style perfectly balances a strong physical yoga practice with mindful movement. She artfully guides her students to surrender to the physical and mental realities of the present moment while simultaneously challenging them to move outside their comfort zone. I leave every class feeling like I've learned something new about yoga, my body, and/or my mind, and I would recommend Nancy's classes to any aspiring yogi - from beginners to advanced.”

"Please find below some feedback from my week in Kefalonia with Nancy. It was brilliant, the venue was excellent, Anna our enthusiastic host welcomed us all and nothing was too much trouble. We were served a healthy, expansive and healthy breakfast every morning, and she dealt with all our queries and requests for taxis or places to visit with humour, knowledge and efficiency. I don't know what else I could of asked from a host. Vigla Village and its yoga platform was brilliant, practicing yoga every morning whilst the sun rose over the mountains and sea in front us was truly magical and something I will never forget. What can I say about Nancy? Amazing, patient, enthusiastic, a wonderful yoga teacher whose knowledge was broad and enthusiasm infectious. As someone on their first yoga holiday the bar has been set very high, I learnt so much that I am still trying to take it all in, but I came home better than I went, wanting to do and learn more. Nancy didn't just teach us yoga, the poses and flows, she taught us about how important it is in our daily lives and how it can better us and help us deal with the trials and tribulations in our hectic and stressful lives. I can honestly say this was one of the best holidays of my life, thank you so much for a wonderful experience."

Nancy Lea - authentically warm and welcoming. Those are the words that come to mind when we think of Nancy. A lovely teacher with confidence and skill, who instructs not only the physical side of yoga and gradually introduces the more holistic practices of breathing and meditation. On our seven-day retreat in the extraordinary retreat site of TIGMI in Morocco, the classes were varied, restorative and just challenging enough. We who practised with her that week formed a tight bond, and it was very hard to leave our paradise! The efficient organisation from Yoga on a Shoestring and at the venue itself, the warm welcome, the delicious food, the gracious, helpful staff and variety of opportunities to visit Marrakesh and/or the High Atlas, (or just hang out by the pools and take advantage of the hammam treatments), make this the most unique, serene and stunningly beautiful retreat venue. The pictures cannot begin to show how special this place is; it is not to be missed.
