“It was my first yoga retreat ever. I could not have dreamt about anything better than what Elaine and Erling offered me during my stay at the Isle of Yoga. I really appreciated everything during the retreat: the kindness of Elaine and Erling and their passion for yoga and life in general, the delicious and healthy food, the relaxed and familial atmosphere (2 kids, 1 dog and 1 cat => home, sweet home), the wonderful landscapes we discovered during the walks we did (the Isle of Wight is a jewel) as well as the friendly and inspiring people who participated to the yoga retreat.”

“While on holiday on the Isle of Wight, I had three 1:1 sessions with Erling in which we worked mainly with my feet, changing the way I place my feet from an eversion to a balanced position. What a difference it has made! I find myself walking faster and with greater ease. Weeding my flower bed was nearly enjoyable, and I can stand in a tree pose without wobbling, something I could not do at all beforehand. I sit and walk so much taller than my husband wondered whether I had grown!”

Frequently Asked Questions
Does it matter if I’m new to Yoga?
No, not at all. Yoga is beneficial if tailored to the individual’s needs and abilities. We run small group retreats and workshops with a maximum of 8 students. This ratio allows the teacher to have time for each student. Retreats are also about getting away and enjoying your new surroundings—the Isle of Wight, a beautiful yoga retreat destination.
What style of yoga do you teach on the retreats?
Our retreats focus on Scaravelli-inspired yoga, a gentle yet profoundly transformative approach to classical Hatha Yoga. This style emphasizes the cultivation of mindfulness, breath awareness, and a deep connection to the body’s innate wisdom. Through a subtle, anatomically focused practice, you’ll learn to release tension, surrender to gravity, and find greater ease and fluidity in your movements.
Rather than striving for picture-perfect poses, Scaravelli-inspired yoga invites you to explore the natural unfolding of your spine and the organic rhythms of your breath. By bringing a sense of curiosity and compassion to your practice, you’ll discover a more intuitive, embodied way of moving that supports your functional well-being both on and off the mat.
What are the key principles of Scaravelli-inspired yoga, and how will they be incorporated into the retreat?
Scaravelli-inspired yoga is a gentle yet deeply transformative approach that focuses on releasing tension, surrendering to gravity, and allowing the breath to guide the body’s natural movements. During our retreats, you’ll be introduced to these principles through mindful, anatomically focused practices that emphasise softness, fluidity, and a compassionate relationship with your body. Our experienced teachers will guide you in attuning to sensations, freeing the spine, and rediscovering a more organic way of moving, both on and off the mat.
Will we get the chance to explore the Isle of Wight?
Yes, you will; although our programmes vary depending on the theme and season of the retreat or workshop, we allow time for our guests to get out and about in the local area. We encourage walks as we have access to both the coast and inland on our doorstep. Approximately 1/2 the Island is designated an AONB; we are fortunate.
How do you get to the Isle of Wight?
By train, plane or automobile and a ferry. It is rather easy — Erling’s Yoga, situated in Shanklin. We are at the end of the Island railway line, which connects to Portsmouth Harbour and national rail networks. Visit the Isle of Wight, the official tourist guide has a useful guide on its website.
