Tipi Yoga, located in the picturesque village of Etchingham, East Sussex, is a unique and enchanting yoga studio founded in 2015 by Ebony Kent. The name 'Tipi Yoga' is derived from Ebony's dream of practising yoga in nature, but with the unpredictable British weather, the solution was to combine the connexion with the elements and keep yogis dry by practising inside a tipi.
Situated amidst rolling hills, Tipi Yoga offers a serene and peaceful sanctuary, providing the perfect backdrop for yoga and holistic practises. Initially, the studio began as a space for weekly classes but quickly gained popularity and moved to the local village hall to accommodate the growing number of participants. However, the 24-foot Tipi still remains a beloved seasonal space for workshops and private yoga sessions.
Despite offering fewer classes inside the tipi, Tipi Yoga continues to provide an array of yoga and holistic offerings to cater to different interests and needs. Weekly Hatha and Dynamic yoga classes are available to cultivate strength, flexibility, and mindfulness. Additionally, the studio hosts monthly workshops focusing on yoga and meditation to deepen the practise and promote inner peace and balance.
Tipi Yoga also organises bi-annual yoga retreats in sunny destinations, providing a blissful escape for both beginners and experienced yogis. These retreats offer a unique opportunity to immerse oneself in a rejuvenating and transformative experience, guided by Ebony's expertise and passion for yoga.
