The Practise

Grounded in Practice and Self-Exploration

As the year turns inward, Autumn School offers a rare opportunity to return to — and immerse in — the deeper meaning of authentic Ashtanga Yoga.

This is not a school of improvement, achievement, or accumulation.

It is a school of mystery, where daily practice, chanting, and philosophical and practical inquiry support a re-orientation toward being in the world connected, grounded, and aligned with the truth of ourselves and our yoga.

For those who have practiced long enough to sense that something essential can be lost beneath postures-as-performance, this immersion creates the space to reconnect with the authentic voice of practice.

Autumn School is for practitioners who feel the call to tune in, listen deeply, and allow the inquiry of yoga to reveal the transformative truth it has always been pointing toward.

What to expect

  •  Daily old-school Mysore-style Ashtanga practice

  • Daily Vedic chanting

  • Workshop sessions exploring the deeper inquiry of lived yoga

  • A supportive, intimate community of like-minded practitioners

    Places are intentionally limited.

‘In offering this Autumn School, my hope is to support you in living your yoga with authenticity.

You don’t need to be an advanced practitioner or have many years of experience—only an openness to be present and to inquire sincerely.

I’m very much looking forward to sharing this space with you.

With love and warmth,’

- Luke

  • ‘Luke created a safe nourishing space in which we were able to connect and deeply explore our inner worlds together. Finding ‘the juice’ within our own authentic asana practice along the way was a plus.’

  • ‘Ive never practiced with Luke before his Sicily retreat, and I can honestly say that it was one of the best yoga experiences I’ve ever had. Luke is a fantastic, experienced teacher with the ability to bring together effortlessly a crowd of strangers to share a practice, life experiences and emotions.With Luke’s teaching I’ve not only improved my daily asana practice, but I’ve also discovered sides of my character I didn’t know. Chanting and practicing with Luke was magical - he knows how to create the right balance between challenge and support, to bring calm and support through his voice and adjustments. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to meet him - I left Sicily joyful and eager to find excitement in my life.’

    - Francesca

  • ‘My experience at Luke’s Sicily retreat was truly amazing. It was my first retreat and it exceeded my expectations. The venue was the most beautiful setting. I thoroughly enjoyed the daily yoga practice, as well as being introduced to non violent communication and to morning pages. I was surrounded with the most special group of people, who all came together with open hearts ready to receive, and it made it a magical experience. I left feeling enlightened and excited to put my learning into practice and into daily life. I am already looking forward to his next retreat in October.’

    - KA

  • ‘Once upon a time… I was searching for a certified teacher, but instead I met a beautiful human being who consistently shared his life experience and journey of self-inquiry. His presence invited my own. And in the end, it was exactly what I was craving: presence, love, humour, depth, honest, vulnerability and a sense of truly being alive - all without realizing it was what I needed most.
