RANCHO LOS LOBOS RETREAT
CÁDIZ, SPAIN
29 AUGUST – 5 SEPTEMBER 2026
The retreat is led by KPJAYI certified Philippa Asher
YOUR HOSTS
Philippa Asher, from London, is one of a few Ashtanga yoga practitioners in the world – and the only British woman – to be certified by Sri K Pattabhi Jois, to teach the Ashtanga yoga method in his tradition. She has learned the Primary, Intermediate, Advanced A and Advanced B Series directly from Pattabhi Jois and Sharath, at the Krishna Pattabhi Jois Ashtanga Yoga Institute in Mysore, India, and shares the Ashtanga yoga system internationally.
Her approach to sharing yoga asana (from beginners to more seasoned practitioners) is serious, yet light-hearted and joyful.
Philippa’s dedicated passion for Ashtanga yoga, background as a trained dancer and experience as a qualified teacher, gives her an intuitive and sound understanding of bodies, yoga asanas, people and how they learn.
