'Better Together ... Again!'
An Anusara® Kula UK & Ireland Event
A weekend of fabulous yoga and making deeper connections!

16th - 18th July, 2027
​Devon, UK

This is another weekend community event for all lovers of Anusara Yoga - whether you are a teacher or not - all dedicated students are warmly welcome! Heaps of classes to choose from, coming from a wonderful group of experienced Anusara yoga teachers ... this is going to be a wonderful chance to be together!

The Anusara lineage holds community dear and we really do shine brighter together. We had a wonderful time in 2025 and the sun shone for us! Hopefully that will be the case again in 2027, as I have chosen July for our weekend. This time we have booked the ENTIRE property meaning we can have 3 teaching spaces and accommodate 50 of us!
I'm Sarah Powell and I'm the country coordinator for UK & Ireland. I have put my heart into creating you all a special weekend of community and drawing strength from each other. Sometimes teaching and life can feel a little lonely out there - so getting together makes all the difference!

Fabulous value for money can be offered to you as this will be a group effort! We will all help with meal preparations in the large kitchen, and muck in with washing up and changing bed linen at the end of our weekend together. I am hoping  for people to help me with the running of the event (see 'Volunteers' section below). Community effort is what it's all about!

A chance for us all to practice together, relax in great company, eat well and unwind in nature ...
​

• Many highly experienced Anusara yoga ECAT teachers all ready to share their love of Anusara!
• Opportunities to experience teaching from other Certified Teachers and those working towards Certification
• Opportunity meet and mix with loads of  Anusara-Inspired and Anusara-Elements teachers, share your experienced and link up!

Sharpham House, Devon

Sharpham House (and the attached Coach House) is an internationally-recognised centre for mindfulness retreats & nature connection, with 40 years’ experience. They aim to connect people with nature and foster mindfulness and wellbeing., through charitable works and by hosting events and retreats that support this goal.

We are so lucky to have secured the entire venue for a weekend booking at this very popular venue! It's a majestic location on the banks of the River Dart. The main and gardens feel so serene and peaceful, with breath taking views across the wider Sharpham Estate.

Their delicious and nutritious vegetarian and vegan food will have you feeling very satisfied! We will not be restricting diets in any way!

We will have the use of 3 yoga spaces over the weekend, each with a capacity of 16 mats (hence our max of 48 students plus teachers). This means we can run 3 classes consecutively, giving us lots of chances for teaching!

It Takes a Village ... we all muck in!

Please don't expect room service or to be waited on hand and foot. At Sharpham house we will really be embracing the theme and need all hands on deck!

The Sharpham house team will be looking for volunteers for a rota (normally 4-5 people) 3 times a day (takes about 30 minutes). This means that we all have to muck in and help out for at least one meal over the weekend.

Tasks include ...

• Wiping down tables
• Washing up - crockery, cutlery, plates and some pots (items are then put in the dishwasher)
• Drying and putting away
• Veg prep (tends to start around 9am-9.15am and usually takes around 30mins) 

On the final day we all need to strip and remake our beds using the linen provided, before vacating your bedroom at 9:30 am

Your Investment 

Whats included:

• 2 nights accommodation at Sharpham House (Friday & Saturday)
• 5 gorgeous meals (Friday dinner, through to Sunday breakfast)
• Choice of many Anusara yoga classes - Hatha, restorative, yoga Nidra and sound baths

• Towels provided (bring your own swimming towel)

Whats not included:
