Meet your Retreat Creators
Hello, we are Jean and Jools!
We are delighted to be joining forces to offer this unique training and mentorship opportunity. In the past five years of collaborating on retreats, we have been sharing ideas, stories, inspirations and aspirations to bring together this course, that is full of real life experience and learning.
Throughout this course we will share with you our passion for responsible travel, change and community, resulting in our far-reaching and vibrant flagship course. In this ever-evolving world it’s now more important now than ever to foster ethnical collaborations and create genuine connections.
Hello! Jean here… I am an author and yoga teacher with the belief that collaboration and exchange are at the heart of wellness and are essential for growth, understanding and gathering of new skills. As a curious lover of movement and creativity I have spent (and still do spend) much of my life travelling, practicing yoga and exploring bodywork disciplines.
I have been leading teacher training courses in London for over 10 years, and co-founded Daoist Flow Yoga and triyoga’s Advanced Yoga Teacher Training Programs. I am also a ‘Continuing Education Provider’ (YACEP®), and I hold certification with Yoga Alliance USA (E-RYT-500) and Yoga Alliance Professionals UK.
I am grateful to have had the opportunity to share my love of yoga, conscious travel and retreats for 25 years, as they are the best guides! They help us be adaptable in our ever changing world (both inner and outer) so we can expand our capacity to experience and embrace life, different environments, cultures and ways of being to enjoy our human potential.
Hello! Jools here… I created my own retreat company, Reclaim Yourself Retreats, in 2005 and have been designing and leading global retreats ever since. I am an industry pioneer with a passion for finding locations where retreats don’t usually happen and building innovative retreats from scratch.
With a background in international development and time spent living and working in East Africa, I am a passionate advocate for positive impact tourism. My retreat company specialises in transformational trips in remote paradise locations. It is now one of the leading retreat companies in the UK, running sold out trips that feature regularly in the press.
Reclaim Yourself is a certified B Corp, joining a small but growing number of wellness travel businesses around the world at the forefront of positive impact wellness travel. This certification reflects my work leading a purpose-driven brand.
