I’d love for you to join me later this year in beautiful Rarotonga for an Iyengar Yoga Retreat from 9–14 August 2026.
This August we have the opportunity to practice yoga in the tropical garden studio, Sukha Yoga near Matavera on Rarotonga’s north-eastern coast. Set within a lush garden, with a wooden floor and open-air space, it is a peaceful and uplifting place to practice.
This will be a small, boutique retreat, designed to gently rejuvenate your energy and deepen your practice. Our days will blend daily yoga, mindful rest, and time to enjoy the natural beauty of the Cook Islands.
The retreat runs over six days. Five days will include two yoga sessions each day, morning and afternoon. One day will include a morning yoga class followed by a shared evening meal at a local restaurant.
Sukha Yoga provides yoga chairs, blankets, bolsters and mats, and we will bring straps, pads and cork blocks to support the practice fully.
Rarotonga itself is a tropical paradise, with white sandy beaches and clear turquoise waters — ideal for swimming, snorkelling, gentle morning or afternoon walks, quiet reflection, stunning sunrises and peaceful sunsets.
The yoga investment is $750 per person. Flights and accommodation are not included, and I’m very happy to help with accommodation ideas if you’d like.
The retreat requires a minimum of four students to confirm, with a maximum group size of twelve. Ideally, you’ll arrive in Rarotonga at least one day before the retreat begins. If you’re feeling drawn to come, please let me know.
A deposit of $200 please by 28 February 2026, with the remaining balance of $550 due by 24 June 2026.

We have fallen in love with the land above — a place that feels spacious and calm. It overlooks the peaceful waters of Lake Taupō and carries a quiet sense of stillness and magic.
Our intention is to create a place where people can connect through yoga, slow down, and reconnect with nature. Akasha is an ancient Sanskrit word meaning space, openness, vastness, infinite potential, presence and possibility — it speaks to the interconnectedness of all life.
As the element of space, Akasha invites listening deeply, resting in stillness, and recognising the quiet potential of the present moment.
Akasha will become the new home for Iyengar Yoga classes with Anandi. Along with visiting teachers, we’ll offer weekend retreats and workshops that weave together yoga, wellness therapies, hot and cold immersion and nourishing, wholesome food. A peaceful retreat space overlooking Kaiapo Bay in Taupō. Our plan is to begin building Akasha around the middle of this year.
I’ll continue teaching private Iyengar Yoga classes for one or two people from our fully equipped yoga room at home, with ropes, slings and a full range of props.
Each class is thoughtfully tailored to the needs of the individual student.
