About Us

Tash Pope

Tash qualified as a fitness instructor over 20 years ago and has been passionate about health and well-being ever since. In 2007, whilst living in Japan, Tash began practicing yoga and was inspired by the Japanese ethos of the fusion of body and mind. Initially attracted by the strong physical practice and improved flexibility, she became increasingly fascinated by the stillness yoga brought to her mind and the conscious use of the breath with poses. In April 2017 Tash completed her teacher training at The Power Yoga Company and in December 2017 she completed her Advanced Teacher Training in Forrest Yoga. Forrest Yoga transformed her practice and resonated deeply and so in October 2019 Tash completed the full Forrest Yoga Foundation Teacher Training. Forrest Yoga is an inspiring, grounding and deeply healing yoga practice, adapting traditional yoga for today's lifestyle. In class, Tash welcomes all levels and is keen to build core stability and connection to the poses with strong breath work. Through Forrest Yoga, change starts from the inside out.

Retreats & Workshops

COME AWAY WITH ME TO NORWAY

1st–7th February 2027

This winter, give yourself somewhere to retreat to

This February, I am inviting you to do something a little different.

Rather than enduring another month of grey skies, rain and the familiar slog of a British winter, why not step properly into winter?

Imagine waking up surrounded by snow-covered forests. Walking along crisp white trails. Returning to the warmth of a sauna or curling up beside a cosy fire. Watching the light change across a spectacular winter landscape. Eating delicious food prepared with care. Moving your body, resting your mind and having absolutely nowhere else you need to be.

I have to admit, I have fallen in love with this special place. This will be my third visit to Dharma Mountain, but my first time there in winter.

This is more than a holiday. This is more than a getaway. This is a true retreat in every sense of the word: an opportunity to step away from the demands, noise and pressures of everyday life and create some real space. To finally be able to focus on you.

Space to breathe. Space to reflect. Space to take stock of where you are and where you might want to go next.

Perhaps the perfect antidote to the long, grey British winter.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Our days will be gently structured around two daily yoga practices, with afternoons offering time for meditation, reflection and simply being.

All levels are welcome. You do not need to have a regular yoga practice to join this retreat.

There will also be plenty of opportunity to enjoy the extraordinary surroundings: snow-covered walking trails straight from the retreat centre, daily sauna and the simple pleasure of being immersed in a proper Nordic winter.

LOCATION

Dharma Mountain is located in Hedalen, Valdres, approximately two hours' drive from Oslo.

ACTIVITIES

The retreat can be as active—or as restful—as you choose.

Yoga, meditation, snowy hikes and sauna are all part of the experience. There is the opportunity to try snowshoeing and even cross country skiing maybe even a dog-sledding excursion. Treatments such as massage or Reiki are available onsite.

Or you can simply sit by the fire, read your book and do absolutely nothing at all.
