Emma Spencer Goodier
A three-day Yoga Camp, staged at Nunwell
Farm, proved a huge success, according to
organiser Emma Spencer-Goodier, and a
similar venture is already planned for next
year.
The weekend embraced some of the best
yoga teachers from the Island as well as
some inspired ones from the mainland,
centred on one enormous yurt and marquees.
Around 75 attended, including families, with
a specific programme designed for children
that included yoga, circus skills, belly dancing
and art.
Emma, a highly respected and long
established teacher from Ryde and senior
Yoga Teacher with the Yoga Alliance, is
passionate about promoting the local yoga
talent on the Island. She said: "I travel widely
with my yoga business and keep coming
back to the fact that, we don't need to be
looking to the mainland or overseas for
our inspiration, we have some really gifted

and inspirational teachers right here on the
Island.”
She added: “Paul Wastall, the creator
of the enormous and beautiful yurt
worked tirelessly, to finish what can only
be described as a work of art. It was like
practicing yoga in the Albert Hall, but with
nature all around us."
Emma will be launching the event for 2011
at The London Yoga Show in November,
followed by another camp on the Island on
July 1, 2 and 3 next year.
