I think we often do we get stuck, wishing we were somewhere else. Whether it's idealising the past or planning the future. I learned a mantra from Nirdosh, the beautiful woman who owns our Tuscany Retreat home. "Here I am, here I stay." It's a reminder to be where you are. To CHOOSE where you are. To say yes to this life of being human. 

Each retreat, our Nectar family expands and deepens in all the ways. We didn’t plan on it being all women (ages 27-73!!!), but it was the definition of sisterhood. The sisterhood of the travelling yogis! Support, kindness and acceptance oozed in every moment. It was a true coming home to ourselves. The ordinary is magical when shared with great people. It’s not the destination, it’s not the journey, it’s who you share it with!

There is something truly special about settling into a new space

Best friends and business partners. A little insight into our relationship, what keeps the fire stoked, and why we’ve been yoga wives for over a decade.

A love letter from Amy about kindness and compassion.

A personal letter from Janet on how she’s balancing her life in the space between passion and practicality.

Every so often we all ask ourselves that question, "How did I get here?" Read how Amy ended up in London, practicing, teaching and living yoga. It's a beautiful story of how our relationship with yoga is truly a dance. 

There is no elevator pitch for someone’s yoga story. So here it is, all the details of my pretty average, but very personal journey. I say that because I think it’s quite relatable. Yoga often doesn’t change a lot from the outside, but our internal transformation can sometimes be indescribable.

The unexpected gift of motherhood has by far been creating a dedicated home yoga practice. Even though the pandemic showed me that a home practice was much more convenient, it wasn’t until I became a mom with limited time and no help from family, that my home practice became my lifeline.
