Yoga and Meditation

The yoga teacher on our healing and detox retreats is Jyoti Jo (Jo Hogarty) who teaches Ashtanga yoga and a range of Meditation techniques. All levels beginner to advanced are catered for in her classes on our yoga holidays in Sinai Egypt and the UK.

Astanga Yoga is a system of yoga transmitted to the modern world by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois (1915-2009). This method of yoga involves synchronizing the breath with a progressive series of postures—a process producing intense internal heat and a profuse, purifying sweat that detoxifies muscles and organs. The result is improved circulation, a light and strong body, and a calm mind.

Yoga classes on our retreats are usually at sunrise or early morning, outside by the pool at our Red Sea venues, and in the garden for our UK summer healing retreat venues, leaving you feeling vibrant and vital for the day. Meditation and relaxation clasesses are in the evening. We start with salutation to the sun, some asanas and a relaxation.

Our healing retreats are suitable for anyone looking for a yoga retreat or holiday with extra detox and healing programme added in or for someone who just loves doing yoga and is searching for an advcebture in a beautiful location as well as deep inner peace and improved health and vitality.

Jo teaches a range of meditation and relaxation techniques varying form focus on the breath and use of sound and mantras.

I would like to add a personal not about Jo Hogarty. She is much loved and is outstanding as a yoga teacher and a person, with her Cumbrian sense of humour leaving us all in stitches, and in her passion and professional competance. Everyone loves Jo's yoga classes.
