Yoga can have a positive life-changing effect on anyone willing to simply roll out their mat and open their heart to it. This is a firmly held belief of the founders of Jala Flow Yoga, Tom and Louise Hunt, who met while practicing at the same studio. Together, they have been able to combine their energies and build their dream, making Jala Flow Yoga a sanctuary for others to fulfil their dreams too.

Jala Flow Yoga offers a truly dedicated space to practice for those of all experience, knowledge and interests. Set in an attractive grade II listed building, conveniently located on the High Street, we are fortunate to have the space to be able to offer an extensive variety of styles of yoga, meditation and therapy , as well as workshops, retreats and training.

Jala translates to water. And the spirit of Jala runs through this beautiful studio, based just a moments’ walk from the beach, in the stunning South Devon Coastal Town of Sidmouth.

Jala Flow Yoga Retreats can be tailored to offer you the perfect experience. Sidmouth is a majestic seaside town nestled on Devon’s famous Jurassic Coast.

To ensure you have a delightful stay, we have partnered with the beautifully furnished Royal Faulkner Hotel, and the Sidmouth Hotels Group, which includes The Kingswood and Devoran and The Elizabeth. All have stunning sea views at the centre of Sidmouth’s elegant esplanade. You will be no more than a moments’ walk from the studio, as well as the seaside, restaurants and all other activities.

As well as ensuring you have plenty of time for yoga in led classes in our stunning studio, here are some other activities you might like to add on your stay:

1 to 1 Yoga Classes

Guided Silent Meditation Walks

Reiki

Massage

Stand Up Paddle Boarding (SUP)

Kayaking

Canoeing

Walking and Hiking

Spa and Pampering

A typical Yoga Retreat, based on 2 nights, is £295 per person.

This would include daily yoga classes, your hotel room, breakfast, afternoon tea and dinner on each day of your stay.

This is your bespoke yoga retreat, so your time spent with Jala Flow Yoga can be shorter or longer, depending on your needs. Group booking and individual bookings available.

If hotel availability is limited we will do our best to ensure we source a room that best suits your needs.

A more conservative package is available that offers B&B only. Guests will be located at the Glendevon guesthouse, a lovely Victorian B&B, with friendly service and a home from home atmosphere.

While not overlooking the seafront you will be ideally located within 5 minutes’ walking distance to the studio, town centre, restaurants and beach. The cost per person, with private room and ensuite, is only £199 for a 2 night, 3 day retreat.

I started my yoga journey in 1997 after stumbling across a class in a gym where I was teaching aerobics. Yoga captured my heart and it wasn’t long before I was completely hooked!

I am an experienced instructor, British Wheel of Yoga qualified, and have been teaching classes and workshops since 2001. I also hold the BSY Hatha and BSY Pre and Post Natal Yoga diplomas as well as being a Relax Kids Coach for any budding yogis out there.

I have studied under and have been truly inspired by the world renowned Manju Jois, Shiva Rea and John and Lucy Scott. My style of teaching ranges from gentle hatha and restorative to the much more dynamic Vinyasa flow.

As a teacher I feel honoured to share my studies and love of yoga with my students. I aim for everyone to leave my classes feeling healthier and happier than they were when they walked in!

Testimonials:

“I was fortunate enough to have had Louise teach me yoga for 18 months (mainly Ashtanga and Hatha flow) and I can honestly say that I have never had a teacher quite as special as her. She has a wonderful way of teaching a challenging, fast paced class while maintaining a wonderfully calm and focused atmosphere. She also manages to give each and every member of her class the focused attention they need, without compromising the flow of the class. I consider myself lucky to have had her as a teacher, and she is largely responsible for my love of yoga today. Through her nurturing teaching style and supportive, caring nature I have developed a strong and committed daily practice. I am incredibly grateful for all she has taught me and I very much look forward to visiting her and Tom at their new studio.”
