Come away from the habits and demands of daily life and take a magical journey into the stillness and wonder of the desert in Southern Jordan. Feel yourself called to the depths of your being through the practice of yoga, with morning and sunset classes most days, in this beautiful untouched setting. Experience its open spaciousness as an opportunity to discover that same silence and vastness within yourself.
Accommodation will be in a three-star hotel in Mosaic City Madaba, in traditional Bedouin camps in Wadi Rum, and Little Petra, and eco pop-up camping with a private chef in Wadi Rum. Sanitary facilities are shared and simple.
Postures and movement will be explored from a structural approach as much as the subtle body at the edge of sensation and perception, with breathwork, meditation, and philosophy weaving into all classes. You will have the unique opportunity to experience both Vinyasa flow and Scaravelli-inspired sessions of yoga from Sandra and Liz respectively.
Expanding your awareness and integrating more of yourself is gently supported by the interaction with horses. They reflect your state of being in the moment. They invite us to be present in the now, to transform limiting beliefs and to find the courage to live up to your fullest potential.
You will find yourself opening to grounding and adventure, lightness and creativity, expansion and joy, in the supportive field held by both Sandra and Liz. Between them, they have decades of experience in holding groups of transformation, healing and letting go of that which is no longer necessary.

Sandra is an artist, yogini, and Equus coach. She started exploring yoga in 2001 in Amsterdam. In 2009, following her inner wish of living her passions, she packed her brushes and her yoga mat and put on her horse boots to go for a sabbatical to Petra, Jordan. It was the beginning of her adventure of discovering and expressing herself in the most authentic way.
Liz Warrington trained as a yoga teacher in 1995 and has been a long term student of one of the few to have studied closely with Vanda Scaravelli (1908-1999) best known for her book Awakening the Spine. Liz teaches a gentle yet dynamic, hands-on approach to the asanas, encouraging an inner listening to help you go with your body. All levels of experience are welcome.
