A Yoga and Art Holiday. The chance to practice your yoga in a beautiful setting with two classes a day. Together with the optional extra of learning how to express yourself through painting and drawing.

Victoria White is a successful artist and photographer, she is now teaching totally unique creative workshops.

During a typical art workshop participants not only have an opportunity to acquire new skills, from painting, drawing, printing, visualisation techniques to composition but an incredible opportunity to delve deep within to draw upon inner wisdom and inspiration. The workshops give participants a chance to acknowledge and truly feel that whatever ‘mark’ they make is perfect, unique, mirroring the true essence of the soul.

Sue Pendlebury

Whilst taking a break from theatre she discovered yoga and subsequently travelled around India, America, Bali and England training in all forms of yoga with many renowned yoga teachers. Over the years she has trained in other forms of bodywork and healing which she weaves into her teaching and practise. Sue's classes are enthused by her creative background.
Sue is the director of Yoga on a Shoestring which she set up in 2003.

The daily programme: The morning will start with meditation and pranayama outdoors (depending on the weather), followed by yoga asanas in the stunning yoga space. Breakfast will be served on the terrace and we will meet again in the late afternoon for a relaxing meditative class which will incorporate slow gentle asanas, meditation, visualisations, chanting and other more creative work. In between you will have the opportunity of working with Victoria and practising your talents for painting and drawing. The art workshop is optional and if you don't want to take part in this then there are plenty of other things to do, walking, cycling, exploring the local towns or just relaxing by the pool.
