Brimpts Farm, Dartmoor

Katharina, Yaara and Sally are delighted to invite you to our unique Iyengar Yoga, health and detox retreat, incorporating many years’ experience on all our parts.

Health retreats for body and soul including meditation in nature were recorded as far back as the ancient greeks. Even dreams were seen as healing powers during this time, and the aim was for the patient to receive the insights to heal themselves. Physicians were excluded from the individual mystery of recovery!

About us

Dr Katharina Deutsch, UK trained GP:

“After about 10 years in the allopathic medical world, I opened my own practice for Integrative Medicine in 2005 having trained in naturopathy and clinical psycho-neuro-immunology in the Netherlands. I was convinced there was better, more holistic way to health.

In my practice I incorporate lifestyle medicine, paying attention to the impact of foods, nutritional deficiencies, stress, toxins, electromagnetic radiation, genetics and the microbiome. I speak regularly at conferences and lectures.

Yoga and meditation have been in my life now for more than 28 years as well as fasts, detox methods, and silence retreats.”

Yaara Lahav Gregory, Iyengar Yoga teacher:

“The Iyengar Yoga certification mark is the benchmark for excellence in yoga teaching. Iyengar teachers are upheld to the highest standards of training and assessment.

“Yoga is one of the oldest systems of personal development in the world. This system of balancing the body, mind and spirit was formulated by ancient yogis, who understood our essential nature and realised a way to utilise our inner resources to live in harmony with ourselves and the environment.

• Iyengar yoga is suitable for all types of people, abilities and levels of fitness
• Learning takes place through a carefully graded and systematic programme of Asana (posture), suited to your ability
• Practice helps you to relax and energizes the body and mind, bringing vitality, flexibility, strength, concentration, self-confidence and mental calm
• Iyengar yoga can help you overcome and prevent many stresses, strains, aches and pains. It promotes a firm foundation for health and well-being.”

Yaara has worked in education for many years, teaching at universities and schools before taking the long road to qualifying as an Iyengar Yoga teacher. She completed her Level 1 training in August of 2023, and is now working towards a Level 2 qualification.

Sally Sutton, caterer

Over the years Sally has taken great delight in cooking healthy, locally sourced, food for various retreats. She is a yoga enthusiast and outdoor swimmer.
