Yoga & Meditation
Let Tresco's blend of yogic practice and island escapism calm your mind and restore positivity and relaxation...
Our island yogi Gem Hansen guides a range of yoga practice and meditation on Tresco with private and group classes throughout the year.
When the weather is fine, classes take place in various inimitable island locations, from Appletree Bay's white sands to the Abbey Garden's subtropical splendour.
At other times, classes take place in the Flying Boat Studio - this light, bright space overlooks New Grimsby sound and Bryher beyond and is an ideal location to lose yourself as you find your flow.
As well as group classes, private tuition is also available - please get in touch with Gem to discuss your requirements.
