The area 

Where we stay is a village, valley and cove in west Cornwall, England, UK.

The village became popular with the artists of the Newlyn School. It is also famous for it’s associations with the Minack Chronicles, John Le Carré  and the popular tv-series Poldark.

In Cornwall, you can’t escape natural beauty. The area where we are staying is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and offers eye candy of the highest calibre pretty much everywhere you turn!

Visitors can find themselves in extraordinarily scenic locales, whether coastline, riverside, ancient moorland, and lush green gardens.

The most authentic experience – our ancestors are from Cornwall!

Morning Sadhana

 

We start our mornings in our beautiful dedicated sadhana space with yoga (asana, pranayama,  meditation & chanting).  Every level of practioner is warmly welcome to our yoga sessions. Mornings we practice indoors. The afternoon (bhakti) sessions we may be outside when the sun shines – this has proved to be a popular option.

Before the practice you are welcome to help yourself to hot drinks. Yummy breakfast brunch will be served after the sadhana. All our meals are home cooked with a big heart. Seva (loving service) is the name of the game.

All parts of the program are optional. You pick and choose what you wish to participate. You are welcome to skip a session or do it all – go with your heart. This is Your retreat.

Accomodation

 

We’ll be staying in a beautiful classic Cornish cottage, a former artist’s residence, built at the turn of the twentieth century. A large house with its own private garden, yoga shala and a private car parking.

Our accommodation is set in seven acres of magical woodland, shared with a two thousand year old man made cave or temple, the Boleigh Fogou, just one of numerous such ancient Celtic sites to be found in the far west of Cornwall. The fogou was once part of an iron-age settlement.

Off the beaten track, and yet close to both Penzance and St Ives, as well as some of the most beautiful sandy beaches and coves, our retreat destination offers the perfect setting.

Ancient Standing Stones

 

Ancient standing stones in Cornwall, often shrouded in myth and mystery, are a significant part of the region’s prehistoric landscape. These monolithic stones, dating back to the Neolithic and Bronze Ages, serve as a testament to the ingenuity and spiritual practices of early communities. Some believe that stones can cure illnesses and there are specific rituals related with the belief.

Among the most notable are the Merry Maidens, a near-perfect circle of nineteen stones said to be maidens turned to stone for dancing on the Sabbath.

Ancient stones are believed to possess healing properties. The enigmatic standing stones of Cornwall not only offer a glimpse into ancient ritualistic traditions but also continue to captivate the imagination of visitors and scholars alike.

There is by no doubt a very special energy around these ancient sites of Cornwall – come and experience the magic with us!

Family Connections – the insider’s view

 

Cornwall holds a special place in our hearts. Our ancestors once ran a beloved little bakery and tea room in Penzance and in St Ives, filling the air with the scent of fresh bread, cakes and pasties. Perhaps that’s why, year after year, we find ourselves drawn back, feeling an unshakable sense of home. Every visit feels like a warm embrace from the past, a connection to family, memories, and the timeless charm of Cornwall.

What is Bhakti-Yoga?

 

Bhakti Yoga is the yoga of love and devotion. Unlike physical yoga practices, Bhakti focuses on the heart—connecting with the divine through music, chanting, and community. It’s a path of joy, inner peace, and service.

 

One of the main practices of Bhakti Yoga is kirtan, or devotional singing. But don’t worry—you don’t need to be a great singer to join! Everyone is welcome, regardless of musical ability or spiritual background. The goal is not perfection, but connection.

 

Through Bhakti, we open our hearts, cultivate gratitude, and experience a sense of belonging. Whether through chanting, meditation, or simply listening, this practice can bring deep joy and transformation.

 

Join us for a retreat where we share, sing, and celebrate together. No experience needed—just an open heart!

Love, Sanna & Vijay Krsna

Sanna’s Bhakti-Yoga journey

 

Sanna’s path to Bhakti Yoga began at 15 in Helsinki when she wandered into a Krishna temple and received her first Finnish translation of the Bhagavad Gita. The music and chanting immediately captivated her heart.

 

Years later, while living in Berlin, she met Jai Uttal, deepening her love for kirtan and Bhakti Yoga. This eventually led her to discover Vijay Krsna and the Kirtaniyas. Every year, she travels to Vrindavan, India, to immerse herself in Bhakti and keep the flame of devotion alive.

 

Sanna and Vijay have known each other for over a decade and have become great friends, sharing a deep love for Bhakti—and a great sense of humour! Their connection brings a lighthearted and joyful energy to the retreat, where you can expect not just devotion and music but also plenty of laughter and fun.

 

Sanna is deeply inspired by her Indian classical music teachers, including Radhika Manchanda, Vijay Krsna, and Paulina Magus. She cherishes the role of a lifelong student and holds great respect for all her teachers and communities, from London to Vrindavan and Helsinki to Bali.

 

In her yoga classes, Sanna weaves asana with the essence of Bhakti—sharing wisdom, chanting mantras, and creating a space for devotion and joy.
