Hi, I’m Louise

YOGA TEACHER. DESIGNER. EDUCATOR.

My love of yoga began in San Francisco in 1999 and it drew me in. In 2014, I began my yoga teaching training while living in London, and have taught classes, workshops and retreats ever since. My primary teachers include: Jason Crandell, Max Strom, Seane Corn, and Elena Brower.

At this retreat, I’ll be drawing upon all of my yoga, breath work and creative skills and experiences to create a beautiful, joyful, holistic retreat for your body, mind and soul. I look forward to taking good care of you during your retreat!

Enjoy twice-daily yoga for every body.
Indulge in local cheeses, pasta, and breads.
Take in a Puccini opera.
Create long-lasting friendships.
