AIMEE
Oh my goodness this retreat was everything I needed and so much more. Honestly I can’t express how grateful I am that Pip held this retreat especially for space holders and teachers.
I invested in this for myself after a big break up, a whole new world of learning, expanding and growth, what a setting, a crew, a vibe, everything was on point.

KIMBERLY
Pip’s retreat went above and beyond what I could have imagined or prepared myself for” The group of ladies I got to connect with bonded so tightly; it was as if time was going so slow, so many activities to fill the soul - we merged into sisterhood within a day.
Would highly recommend this retreat to anyone looking to deepen their relationship with themselves and to be open to the idea of connecting to like minded souls.
MEET YOUR TEACHER
Hi, I’m Pip - Founder of Your Yoga Retreats
Pip is a ritual facilitator and is certified in Embodied Healing, Wild Medicine Woman & Womb Wisdom Practices. She believes deeply in the transformational power of ritual and holds ceremonies to bring you back to your own deep knowing and personal healing within each of us.
Pip began her love and exploration into rituals and holding ceremony after witnessing the reverence and beauty of ceremony in India. She had visited India annually for many years practicing yoga with her teachers. It was her visit to the oldest city in the world, Varanasi where she was completely captivated by ritual practices. It was there she had a profound experience receiving a sadhu blessing during a vibrant Ganga aarti which moved her greatly. Pip’s knowledge started blossoming from her own experiences gathered from travelling across the world, taking part in cacao ceremonies, women’s circles, sound healing rituals and ecstatic dance, from India, Thailand and San Francisco to beautiful Dorset, she travelled far and wide experiencing all that she could.
Pip shares these deeply powerful and emotional opening and closing ceremonies and ritual practices online, and on the retreats she runs in Ibiza.
Pip was honoured to delve deeper, discovering Embodied Healing in Bali undertaking an immersion training into Wild Medicine Woman & Womb Wisdom Practices. This has shaped her desire to support women in practices that empower them, to create change, their own healing and self love.
