What are Personalised Yoga retreats with Erling?

Erling’s Personalised Yoga retreats offer a uniquely individualised experience, accommodating up to three students at a time. Each retreat is led by Erling, a seasoned 500-hour certified yoga teacher with 20 years of teaching experience, ensuring a deeply personal and immersive experience.

Our Venue.

Nestled in a serene setting, our venue features a modern, cosy one-bedroom flat in our annexe, overlooking a lush garden and the sea. The flat includes a lounge with a folding double futon sofa, ideal for two friends sharing the space. Our main house hosts the Yoga studio, a tranquil space refined over 19 years of dedicated use for Yoga and meditation. We also have a beautiful double room, with own bathroom in the main house.

Teaching Methods.

We specialise in Scaravelli-inspired Yoga, a form of Hatha Yoga that puts the individual’s needs at the forefront. This approach allows students to adapt poses to their own bodies, creating a sustainable practice that respects the traditional teachings while focusing on personal growth and understanding. A sustainable Yoga practice to benefit now and in later life.

Why it works

Unlike classical Yoga, which often prescribes specific poses, Scaravelli-inspired Yoga encourages adapting the asana to your unique body. This method focuses on the sensory experiences within each movement, promoting a somatic approach that aligns with the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. 

Philosophy and Approach

Our retreat emphasises freedom in practice—both physically and mentally—by teaching efficient muscle use to reduce tension and enhance ease of movement. This philosophy extends beyond the mat, advocating for a sustainable lifestyle that is mindful of personal well-being and environmental responsibility.

Your spine is the engine of locomotion.

Freedom is the goal of Yoga practice, both physically and mentally. We don’t need to load our movement with extra muscular tension; that is ineffective. Using muscles efficiently means not overworking them. Because then there is less tension, we tend to find movement easier when there is less tension. I teach this methodology in all my Yoga classes and workshops.
