RESIDENTIAL YOGA RETREATS AND SKILL SHARING COURSES
These courses take place in a unique island setting that is welcoming, relaxed and conducive to learning.
Coming to a yoga retreat or skill sharing course at Macalla farm is stepping outside your normal routine. Having to cross a body of water to get to us means leaving mundane concerns behind and signals the start of a special experience. The island offers space and quiet – a setting that invites reflection and receptiveness. We pay a lot of attention to the detail of what we offer – from the quality and deliciousness of the food to the comfortable accommodation in our two cottages and of course to the design and delivery of the courses.
We hope to see you here sometime during the coming season – keep an eye out for updates to the course schedule.
Sati Yoga Retreats
The island with nature so close at hand provides a unique setting in which to deepen your yoga practice, to begin to experience the connection to our bodies, our breath, to the earth.
With many years of teaching experience, the practices we offer are, as one returning student likes to say, “the real deal” .
The food is delicious and vegetarian, often vegan with gluten free options on request. We pay great attention to the quality of ingredients which are nearly 100% organic and homegrown.
FOOD COURSES
We began running food courses many years ago at the request of those who had attended our residential retreats, loved the food and wanted to learn how to make it themselves.
Our approach to vegetarian cooking to making delicious and nutritious meals is simple and accessible – to vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike. It begins and ends with the quality of the ingredients, where they are sourced and how they’re grown. But also it must be fun- feeling free to experiment with tastes and spices, creative with combinations. Cooking needs to have a good bit of playfulness as part of the mix.
Our courses are very hands-on , there is certainly a lot of chopping vegetables, but we also go out observe what’s growing, then harvesting what’s needed from the garden – getting stuck in at all stages of the process, culminating with us all sitting down together to enjoy the deliciousness.
