Helen Stephenson
Helen while studying at Hamburg University in 1979 first met her life long teacher, Sri S. Rajagopalan. He introduced her to the spiritual teachings of the Raja Yoga, as they are laid down in the Patanjali sutras. In 1981 he gave her teacher status.
In 1998 she moved to the UK and trained as a Pilates teacher. She was the Senior teacher in the first Pilates studio in Milton Keynes. She also studies the Feldenkrais Method and continues to attend workshops.
Her understanding of posture and breathing influences her Yoga teachings and makes it accessible for everyone.
She is a supervisor of mindfulness teachers within the NHS and holds a Diploma in Systemic Therapy. She has her own private practice in Milton Keynes.
For the last 20 years she has taught yoga at Gaia House in Devon. One of the first centres in the UK offering meditation instruction and retreat.
She has a regular meditation practice and has received instruction from renowned teachers such as Joseph Goldstein, Jack Kornfield, Sharon Salzberg, Christina Feldman, Christopher Titmuss, Martine and Stephen Batchelor.
She continues to self retreat annually.
Hermione and Nick Tudor
Neither of them are professional teachers but they have made the spiritual path an integral part of their life.
Creating El Moro has been their life’s work. First moving to what was an abandoned farm 36 years ago and slowly turning it into what it has become all the while respecting what was already there.
It is now in the hands of their daughter Daisy and partner Eliott who continue to look after it and have started to develop it in their own way.
Hermione finds mindfulness in her garden and working with her horses and cows. She loves mindful movement and practices Tai Chi. She has an effortless ability to get on with people.
Nick discovered very early on that there was another way of looking at the world – a seeing that frees. Since then meditation has been part of his life, principally Vipassana and Dzogchen. He has been lucky enough to receive instruction from Joseph Goldstein, Carole Wilson and Martine and Stephen Batchelor.
He attends the annual month long solitary retreat at Gaia House where intensive meditation is practiced in noble silence for 30 days.
Through years of offering walking and riding holidays they both know the Sierra de Aracena and its people intimately. They are very much part of the landscape and will lead the daily walks.

The Ashtanga and Reset Retreat
With Katy Scherer
1-8th August
“I love to blur the lines between tradition and modernity and find it fascinating, scary, provocative and transformational! An Ashtangi at heart I find comfort and support within the traditions of the practice, completing 7 months of study in Mysore under Sharath Jois and gaining his blessing to teach in 2022 where I received my authorisation.
When it comes to breathwork and pranayama it’s a different story. After years of traditional practice I shook things up and dove head first into the world of breathwork where I experienced the life altering power of breath!”
