Hi all,
The dates are now set for the UK AYP retreat in 2013. By popular demand this years retreat will be in August. I got on the case early this year so we could hold a retreat in the summer! The venue will be at Holycombe House again in Warwickshire.
The dates are: Friday August 30th to Sunday 1st September. The retreat will run from the Friday afternoon to Sunday afternoon.
DeeDee who did the catering last year will be coming again to do her amazing vegetarian, organic, ayurvedic, superfood cooking.
The prices will be: £195 to stay in a shared room (2 or 3 sharing) or £215 for a single room. It will also be possible to camp at the centre or stay in your own campervan for those who wish for £175.
Contact me for more info on the retreat or to book a place. You can PM me through this forum or email me using the form on my website:
AYP UK Yoga retreat 2013

Hi Christi! That was quick- I am still recovering from our last amazing retreat and DeeDee’s cooking 
Count me in as a tentative at this stage… Will let you know…
Hi Mathurs,
I wanted to move the UK AYP retreats to being summer retreats rather than winter retreats, so we can enjoy the sunshine when we are not meditating. As the yoga retreat centres get booked up so early, I had to get on the case fast this year.
Hey Christi,
This is of interest!
I need to see if I can budget it. Will you please keep us updated over the coming weeks/months as to how many spaces are left?
Thanks
Jack
Hi Jack,
Sure thing. 10 spaces left at the moment.
I update my website every week, so you can check here on spaces available.

Hi all,
3 spaces are still available on this retreat. All the single rooms have been taken but there are still spaces in share rooms.
Yes I am interested. Assuming that my friend has not also expressed my interest and therefore booked me in.
Hi all,
There is one space now available on the UK AYP retreat at the end of August and it is only available for a man. If you would like to come let me know.

Hi Christi
I enjoyed the weekend retreat.
Lot of hard work on your part and all the others who were there.
A nom de plume to conjure with methinks.

Hi all,
Got back last night from the UK summer retreat. We were blessed with the weather and with a great bunch of yogis and yoginis from all over the UK and abroad. Everyone was very dedicated to the practices over the weekend which was fantastic. The food was great, so a big thanks to DeeDee who did all the cooking. And thanks to everyone else who helped out to make it happen.
Looking forward to the next one. 
Thanks Kembolini.
My nom de plume comes from a time when I worked in a school in South India teaching music and dance. The children were Tamil speaking and could not pronounce my birth name, so they called me Christian, or Christi for short.
Hello All,
Wonderful retreat. Great companions, lovely food, rounds and rounds of sun salutations which resulted in great weather 
Very well organised and well led retreat Christi!
I learnt that I was doing spinal breathing wrong. I tried it the correct way last evening and the results are obvious today!
Looking forward to the next one in December!
I think everyone, newcomers and experienced in AYP alike would probably agree that it was a wonderful retreat. Whatever stage you are at, you are allowed a glimpse of what lies around the corner. The silence present around and within the fellow practitioners undoubtedly is felt by the silent place within ourselves, which is nourished and strengthened.
I recall learning when I was young that the chirps of the first hatchling birds reach the ears of their unhatched siblings, who then begin to wake up and break out themselves.
The best part is going back to your everyday life and noticing the lingering inner smile you carry with you
The retreat was great
lovely people
great practices and experiences
much silence
great practical information for everydalife .
Perfect!
Beautiful guys. I’m really glad the AYP UK retreats are going so well. If I ever move back to the UK from NY, hopefully I’ll be joining you at some point!
Hi all,
A few people asked if I would be leading another retreat at Holycombe again next summer. The answer is I will, and the dates will be 5th to the 7th September 2014. The next retreat I will be leading there will be in December this year from the 13th to 15th.
