February 2027 Wellness Weekend
Silence into Song
Led by Aja Krystall
This wellness weekend:
A journey from inner stillness to wholehearted expression.
We often think stillness and creativity are opposites, but they are partners. The depth of your expression can only be as deep as the stillness it arises from. This retreat is about cultivating the inner spaciousness from which our most authentic voice, purpose and creativity naturally emerge.
Meditation, asana, nature, silence, listening.
Singing, writing, painting, action, self-leadership.

Wellness Weekends are our signature experience for those seeking a mini retreat on the Kenyan Coast. These long weekends only happen on selected dates throughout the year, and include 3 nights on half board, 4 yoga sessions, 2 deeply relaxing massages, a guided nature-based adventure, walks, time to rest, reflect, and connect with community. Each Wellness Weekend is different, led by a different visiting teacher, bringing their unique blend of trainings and experience.
Meet your teacher for this retreat, Aja…
Born and raised amidst Kenya's vibrant nature, Aja discovered the power of connecting with the earth at an early age. Daughter to a public health sector pioneer, she traveled across the African continent frequently. A sense of adventure and care for different cultures was instilled in her during this period.
Moving to the UK at 16, Aja was thrust into an environment that lacked a connection to nature. She also embarked on the inevitable adolescent journey that saw most of her nourishing practices fall away. Her health suffered as a result and she yearned not only to reclaim that vitality for herself but also offer it to others. This experience ignited a passion for movement, Ayurvedic cooking, and an interest in practices that fostered inner joy .
Enveloped by yoga, meditation and a spiritual way of life from a young age through her family, Aja became a Dru Yoga teacher in 2013. Dru's focus on integrating the pranic, mental and spiritual bodies as well as the physical resonated deeply with her. Through Dru, she met a group of inspiring teachers and guides, and embarked on the path of Bhakti Yoga, the art and science of cultivating love for the Divine and making everyday life sacred.
Aja then became a certified Ayurvedic life coach, which blends her passions of yoga and meditation, food, psychology, and nature to support people on their journeys to radiant health.
In search to deepen her knowledge and widen her experience, Aja has also trained in Vinyasa and Yin and then Mandala-Vinyasa - which incorporates diverse forms of yogic asana and Shamanism to honour and balance the elements within you - water, air, fire and earth - with intention of integration and wholeness. Aja's classes combine dynamic movement with self-inquiry, visualisations and affirmations, combined with restorative and meditative elements.
Aja’s childhood love for piano and guitar found a new form of expression in the Bhakti practice of Kirtan, singing the Divine names to uplift, heal and bring people together. She’s now incredibly passionate about using sacred songs from all traditions as a tool for transformation, expression and community.
