💃 **What has tap dancing got to do with yoga? More than you might think!** 🧘‍♀️

Back in the 1990s, I was part of a tap dancing group.

And somehow, I found myself performing **on stage for a whole week!** 😳

Was I the best tap dancer? Absolutely not.

Did every step go perfectly? Definitely not! 😂

But I loved it.

There’s something quite terrifying and exciting about stepping onto a stage, knowing you’ve practiced and practiced, and now you just have to trust yourself and get on with it.

And looking back, I can see so many similarities with the yoga I practice and teach today.

👣 **Practice**
You don’t learn a tap routine in one go. You repeat it. You get bits wrong. You try again. Exactly the same with yoga.

🎵 **Rhythm**
In tap, you move with the music. In yoga, we often find our rhythm by moving with our breath.

⚖️ **Balance**
Tap dancing certainly tested mine! Yoga does too, and some days my balance is much better than others.

🧠 **Focus**
Forget what step comes next on stage and you soon know about it! Yoga also asks us to bring our attention back to what we’re doing right now.

🌬️ **Breathing**
Possibly the easiest thing to forget when you’re concentrating hard. Something I regularly remind my yoga ladies... **keep breathing!**

But perhaps the biggest connection is **practice, not perfection**.

You don’t have to be the best in the room.

You don’t have to get everything right.

And you certainly don’t have to wait until you feel completely confident before you start.

Sometimes you just have to have a go, wobble a bit, laugh when it goes wrong and carry on.

I certainly wasn’t destined for a career on the West End. 😂

But all these years later, some of the things I learnt from those tap shoes still turn up on my yoga mat.

**Have you ever taken part in a performance? And was it your best, funniest... or one you’d rather forget?** 😄

Boat Pose. Navasana. Deceptively simple. Absolutely brilliant. 🚣🧡

Here is why it deserves a place in your practice 👇

🌿 Builds core strength — abs, obliques and lower abs all firing at once
🌿 Improves balance — your core and lower back have to work together to keep you steady
🌿 Strengthens the spine and hip flexors — flexibility and strength in all the right places
🌿 Stimulates digestion — the abdominal compression gives your digestive organs a little wake-up call
🌿 Sharpens focus — you cannot drift off in this pose. Your mind has to show up too!

Whether you are brand new to yoga or a regular on the mat, Boat Pose will challenge you in the best possible way. 💪

🌿 What does a Go with the Flow retreat actually feel like?

It feels like exhaling properly for the first time in months. 🧡

Each morning begins with yoga and guided meditation - outside, in the fresh air, moving at a pace that feels good for your body. From there, the day is yours. Rest, swim, read, explore, laugh with new friends or simply sit quietly and do absolutely nothing. That is allowed here. Nothing is compulsory.

Through the week, the wonderful Joanna Tocher leads beautiful holistic wellness sessions including:

🌸 Guided meditation
🌸 Sound healing
🌸 Energy alignment
🌸 Essential oils workshop
🌸 Tuning forks

All designed to calm your nervous system, release tension and leave you feeling genuinely restored.

Add incredible locally sourced food, good company, laughter and views that take your breath away and you have a week you will be talking about for years.

Imagine waking up to this… ☀️🌊

The sound of the Aegean Sea. Fresh morning air. A yoga mat waiting for you on an outdoor terrace with views that take your breath away. A week with no to-do list, no responsibilities and no rushing.

And we have just TWO rooms left.

🏡 Naxos Room — £2650, solo occupancy with ensuite. Your own private space, perfect if you are coming on your own.

🏡 The Cottage — £2300pp. A charming stone cottage with a private terrace and garden, shared with one friend, sister, mum or auntie. A little home from home just steps from the pool.

Your week includes daily yoga and meditation, holistic wellness sessions with Joanna Tocher, sound healing, energy alignment, incredible locally sourced food, lazy afternoons by the infinity pool and a sandy beach right below the house.

No yoga experience needed. No strict schedule. Nothing is compulsory. Just a week that is entirely, unapologetically yours.

We have been selling out since 2018. This is the only retreat we are running in 2027. When these two rooms go, they are gone.
