Hello friends
I hope you are well. Please see my latest news and events below.
I have just joined Substack! My social media presence is usually pretty sparse but this feels like it might be a better outlet. I'd love for you to read my first post here.
I really hope to see you soon!
Much love,
Khadine xx
Next session is Friday 3rd April (Good Friday). Don't forget, you can make a real evening of it and book in a sauna at Luna Wave too! And those of you receiving this newsletter can get a 15% discount with the code KHADINE15 - just pop it in the promo code box.
Sunday 26th April, 2-4.30pm
Brighton Buddhist Centre (Evolution Arts)
A lot of what we do in a yoga practice involves the cultivation and manipulation of prāṇa / lifeforce. We will explore prāṇa in depth - what is it?, can we feel it?, can we utilise it?, does awareness of prāṇa lead to integration? Khadine will skillfully lead you through yoga posture work with a focus on breath awareness and trust in the breath through direct experience and traditional teachings. She will include guided breath-based practices and mediation and you'll also get a guided yoga nidrā (reclined deep meditation-type practice). This is suitable for all levels from beginners to very experienced as practices will be adapted accordingly.
This workshop will include āsana, prāṇāyāmas, meditation and yoga nidrā.
Women's Retreat
Sunday 17th May 10am-4.30pm
Step out of the noise, into sanctuary
The Wild Space, near Piddinghoe
After selling out within hours year after year, this much-loved women’s retreat returns to the Wild Space, inviting you to step away from the noise of daily life and into a space of nourishment, connection and renewal. The day is held in a warm, supportive atmosphere, surrounded by nature.
I'll guide you through the morning session, offering a deeply meditative practice designed to ground and fully bring you in to the space. This inward-focused experience creates space for deep rest and reflection, held in a cozy and sacred setting.
After a delicious, nourishing lunch with locally sourced herbal teas, the afternoon is led by Sam, owner of The Wild Space, where you’ll be guided into a fiery, invigorating session.
Between sessions, you’ll have time to wander, rest, and restore.
End the day in the woodland spa, with access to the sauna, refreshing cold plunge, or simply relaxing by the fire.
Created by women, for women, this retreat offers a much-needed pause from the demands of everyday life, with an invitation to soften, release accumulated stress, and return home feeling restored, inspired, and deeply alive.
This place is really special!
Holidays and retreats
5th - 7th June 2026 - open for booking
I am taking bookings for both my winter Florence House weekend retreat in Seaford on the 9th-11th January 2026 and my summer retreat there too.
I have been leading retreats here since 2012 and it really is a home from home for me!
Please get in touch if you’d like to join us at this wonderful nurturing venue set next to the gorgeous Seaford Head and Seaford beach. It's a full immersion into rest, delicious food and good company!
Payment plans are available if required. I hope you can join me for the best start to a new year!
8th-21st March 2026
Fully booked but save the date for Goa next January - 21st-30th!
I am beyond excited to return to India next year. Kerala is stunningly beautiful and this holiday is set just off the beach overlooking the Indian ocean. Kerala is famous for its backwaters where you can take boat trips through the unique tropical waters - its lush!
Jim Tarran and I will lead you on this 13 day yoga holiday which will include two yoga classes a day, one in the morning and one in the early evening. It includes accommodation, food and 10 days of yoga tuition with some free days in the middle to explore further afield - It's going to be wonderful and it was fully booked but one space has now become available so get in touch with Free Sprit asap if you want it!
26th Sept - 3rd Oct 2026 - open for booking
Another of my absolute favourite places in the world! Tigmi is really special, set in a Berber village with the Atlas mountains as the backdrop. In fact the picture above is the view looking out from the yoga terrace. If you looked the other way you'd see the Atlas mountains!
It's only 30 minutes in a car to Marrakech so you can completely retreat or you can nip into Marrakech and enjoy the bustle of the souk! There are also Atlas mountain trips available and an on-site hammam! There is a reason we return here again and again!
This is also co-led with Jim Tarran and includes accommodation and all meals and yoga tuition.
Trainings and courses
Yoganidrā Teacher Training 50 hour YAP accredited
Next intake is in September 2026
I love running this course and I think it's just getting better and better. It is resulting in some great yoganidrā teachers, including previously experienced teachers who have found a new level of confidence with this practice. We dive deep into the subject from all angles and the course will give you confidence to develop your own yoganidrā style. The course runs between September - November 2026 so it's a really lovely time to have something that is deeply nourishing for you and you get to learn to share this wonderful practice. Honestly it's the best homework (yes you do have to do personal yoganidrā practice - what a hardship!). This is a very rounded complete training, so not only will you learn the techniques that other training courses offer, but you will learn about the rich history of sleep-based practices in South Asian yoga and meditation traditions and modern neuroscience in order to put this practice into the context of yoga philosophy and traditional and modern yogic aims. This course is suitable for yoga and conscious body-work teachers and people working in one to one therapeutic disciplines who might want to offer therapeutic one-to-one guided yoganidrā. Please enquire regarding partial bursary spaces if you require a discount.
1 year Daśa Mahāvidyā (10 wisdom goddess) meditation immersion
We've just started last month but its not too late for you to catch up!
This immersion is for anyone wanting to dive into a year of regular meditation practices through the tantric and haṭhayoga traditions. The wisdom goddesses are our support for this so the structure of the course involves a 2-hour live meet (in-person or on-line as you choose) for each goddess (10 goddesses) where I take you through various aspects including iconography, symbolism, characteristics, mantras and meditations. These sessions are then supported by practices that I send to you (a minimum or two per week) for you to do in your own time that range from meditations, reflection practices, yoganidrā, chanting or life integration practices. We also have two 30-minute live dial-in meditations with each goddess over the month or so we are working with them. You will receive over 100 practices throughout the year! You can find more info and the meet up dates below.
It will of course re-start in January 2027 too.
Vajrasati Teacher Training 500+ hour YAP accredited
Our next intake isn't until next September but it's always worth putting the feelers out... maybe its something you've thought about for a while or maybe you've just been struck by the idea to do a teacher training. It's never too early to talk to me or Jim about the training so please do get in touch if next September sounds like your time. I hope it is!
Did you know that following a deposit the course is only £120 per month so it’s probably more affordable than you think! You don’t even need to want to be a yoga teacher. Many people undertake the course who simply want to deepen their yoga practice and understanding. Others of course do want to be a yoga teacher, so whatever your reason we will help you realise your hopes. The course is structured around school term times so it is very conducive to family life if you have childcare commitments.
This is a really fully integrated teaching training course that includes a full comprehensive understanding of yoga āsana (posture) with the tools you need to teach, anatomy, philosophy, Sanskrit, prāṇāyāma, meditation and mantra. But best of all, what Vajrasati excels in is community. The school is founded on a philosophy of shared learning and respect so joining this teacher training means you are joining a supportive community of heart-centered teachers, with support for the whole of your yoga journey even after the course is complete. Your training is delivered Jim Tarran (the founder of Vajrasati yoga) and me, who between us have over 5 decades of teaching experience. We are also supported by 2 very experienced graduates of the school so you will be in good hands!
