The latest lifestyle, fashion and travel trends
As that yoga retreat in Ibiza is looking less and less likely this summer – it’s time to take things into your own hands.
In celebration of Global Wellness Day, we’ve scouted some of the most soul-nourishing virtual retreats that can join from the comfort of your own home.
From a 40-day at-home kundalini yoga course to a summer solstice celebration and a condensed two-hour mini retreat, there’s something for every budget and schedule.
Anna Ashby virtual yoga retreat with Triyoga
Yoga teacher Anna Ashby will lead a restorative practice to replenish the body and soul in this two-hour mini-retreat. During the online workshop you’ll engage in slow, mindful stretches to release tension through yoga postures to shift the nervous system back into balance and unblock stagnant energy using breathing techniques.
You’ll need props such as a bolster, blankets, foam blocks and a chair.
When: Saturday June 20, 2pm-4pm
Price: £20
Summer Solstice Online Retreat
The summer solstice marks the longest day of the the year and a natural peak in the solar cycle.

When: Saturday June 20, 10am – 8pm
Price: half-day £20/full-day £35-£55 (on a ‘pay what you can’ scale)
