Our personalised approach to Yoga means you get lots of individual attention. After more than 20 years of teaching, our experience ensures professional and understanding guidance.
Yoga retreats with Erling.Yoga
As owners and hosts at the former Isle of Yoga, we have run yoga retreats and workshops for guest yoga teachers and ourselves for the last six years. And because of this, we have gained an ideal understanding of what yoga guests need and want. A Yoga retreat or workshop with the team behind the Isle of Yoga is an intimate and unique experience.
Suitable for anybody interested in Yoga and Meditation, being in nature and exploring the Isle of Wight. ‘It’s a perfect choice if you want to relax and refresh your body and mind.
Good food matters
We prepare all of our food with you, our guests, in mind. ‘Erling’s past life as a chef also helps give us an edge. You won’t be disappointed.
The Isle of Wight
Its a stunning place miles of sandy beaches & unspoilt beauty.
What Our Customers Are Saying
Don’t just take it from us, let our customers do the talking!
Fantastic Scaravelli inspired yoga workshop with Erling and lovely atmosphere. I stayed at the isle of Yoga for two nights, and I felt very welcome. Erling and Elaine are a great couple and fantastic yoga teachers. Erling is a great chef too! Recommended if you want to unwind, relax and enjoy beautiful walks at the Isle of Wight.
Alessandra
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.
Jessica
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!
Antonia
Thank you for delivering an inspiring workshop. I thoroughly enjoyed it and felt that my practice is developing. Thank you once again for making this possible.
Sarah
Just been on a fantastic Yoga Workshop in the Isle of Wight. Although I have practised different types of Yoga in the past, this is my first experience of Scaravelli yoga. It has taught me to stop striving for posture and listen to my body.
Thank you, Erling and Elaine, for your excellent hospitality in your lovely home.
I shall be attending future workshops with you.

Why come to us?
Erling is a Scaravelli inspired yoga teacher, graduated from the Acquaviva School of Yoga. He teaches from this useful and anatomical approach. Elaine has also worked with some of our most recognised Scaravelli inspired yoga teachers, including Gary Carter and John Stirk. But she chooses to say she is just a Yoga teacher.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it matter if I’m new to Yoga?
No, not at all. Tailored to the individual’s needs and abilities, Yoga is beneficial. We run small group retreats & workshops with a maximum of 8 students. It is an ideal ratio for 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?
We teach Hatha Yoga, and we are both influenced by the Scaravelli inspired yoga approach. This form of Yoga is a gentle but profound & effective anatomical approach to classical Yoga. The practice is mindful and meditative yet in motion. I like to focus on Yoga supporting our functional movement.
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 Isle of Wight, the official tourist guide, has a useful guide on their website.
