What students say

Pam, taking up yoga with you has been one of the best decisions I’ve made in recent years… you were so lovely always gently encouraging whilst reminding us to not force it but to breathe… Geraldine, December 2025

Pam takes you to another place with her wonderful soothing voicc, a place of utter tranquility. She is a very special person. — Moira, January 2024

What’s New

Zen Garden Retreat

March 19 –  22

April 23 – 26

 Gozo, Malta

Please contact us for further information. Sign up here for news on our Autumn dates.

This retreat is a chance to step away from the noise of modern life and come home to yourself.

Set in a beautifully designed private coastal estate, with mature Mediterranean gardens leading to the sea,

you have space to wander and time to ponder among the olive groves and along coastal walks.

There is plenty of time to rest, read, or simply enjoy the quiet.

The intentionally unhurried program includes two activities focusing on ancestry and nature provide  powerful themes for reflection.

Daily movement and breathe-work will revitalise you.  Light nourishing meals will re-energise you.

No need to perform, achieve or explain. Just come as you are. See what arises when distractions fall away.

What our guests say:

Thank you once again for such huge generosity of time and spirit the past few days. You both put so much hard work and effort into giving us all such a wonderfully relaxed, yet fruitful time. You really have created an amazing paradise there…I really got something out of the yoga too… wreck that I am! (I hadn’t realised quite how much of a wreck…) I will definitely be trying to make it an integral part of life back here. — Bill, January 2026

Didn’t we pack in a lot into the  days and it never felt hurried or busy – the perfect tempo! — Nicola, January 206

I felt very welcome in this home … In leaving and arriving back to the airport in Valletta I really felt a shift in my experience and started to really understand how special this home is as well as the people that populated it for these few days. –Cian, January 2026

Zen Garden Retreat in the Zen Beach House, monthly in Spring and Autumn

You have inspired me to properly give up sugar (cancer loves sugar!) and to eat more plant based food. I’m feeling the benefits of Pam’s gentle stretching exercises, particularly on my lymphodema puffy left arm and hand, it is now part of my morning movement and of course focusing on breathing too. I’ll never forget the surprising warmth of our exhilarating sea swim and soo enjoyed the bit of culture vulture to the Ggantija temples and the spoiling lunch afterwards in that beautiful town. Hanging out with Joseph [Bonello, master gardener and retreat guide] was fascinating, his passion and way of explaining the flora and fauna was inspiring. — Nicola, January 2026

LEARN YOGA WITH PAM

What students say…

Pam, taking up yoga with you has been one of the best decisions I’ve made in recent years – thank God for the church newsletter 🙏

After having surgery on my knee for a torn meniscus as we came out of Covid I had noticeably stiffened throughout my body, probably due to a decrease in movement due to a nervousness with my knee, and also a big change in my daily routine as a result of my now grown up children having flown the nest.

At first there were loads of exercises that I just couldn’t manage but you were so lovely always gently encouraging whilst reminding us to not force it but to breathe and as mad as it sounded to me I persevered and learned to relax the back of my knees with breathing and now I’m amazed at how far I’ve come which of course is still very basic but for me it’s super 👌

I’m looking forward to the autumn schedule come September!

–Geraldine, Carlow

A balanced yoga practice helps you to cultivate qualities of self-awareness, patience, resilience, strength, flexibility, acceptance and contentment.

Rooted in the Vedic philosophy, Hatha yoga works on the basis that the mind and body are one. It comprises practices of a physical, mental and spiritual nature, in an unimposed way.

The process of yoga is to become self aware – to know yourself – by being a witness to your own patterns; to uncover your physical and mental patterns and learn to let them go. The result is that your scattered energy becomes centralised.

Pam helps people develop physical fitness as well as learning techniques to manage stress. Feel free to book a class or contact Pam for information.
