UPCOMING EXPERIENCES

Welcome to Funky Cactus Yoga

From sunrise flows in the jungle, cleansing breath journeys & cacao circles, to saltwater swims at sunset, our signature retreats curate yoga-centred experiences in beautiful, soulful corners of the world.

We combine ritual, Bhakti, a love of movement, philosophy, breath, Kriya, creativity and a welcoming community.

Remembering. Embodying. Reconnecting.

As well as our signature retreats, we host pop-up events, weekly group classes on the island and private classes upon request.

Join us to be part of the global community.

Who we are

YOGA | KRIYA | TANTRA | BHAKTI | RITUAL | SĀDHANA

Born from a place of healing through grief, a love of travel, exploring a deep yoga practice and a passion for sharing all three, Funky Cactus Yoga curates retreats, classes & workshops worldwide.

Originating in the UK, I now find my home-base on the island of Sri Lanka.

Retreats have spanned the coasts and mountains of England, Wales, Sri Lanka, the Balearics, Mexico and this year - India & Portugal.

With Yoga and it’s diverse practices at the heart, we integrate other experiences, workshops and rituals, crafting a holistic approach to community + connection to nature.

  • This was my third yoga retreat with Rosie. They have all been different in what I got from them (but exactly what I needed every time). The Tulum retreat is my favourite so far though; she is thoughtful in her preparation, full of love in her execution. Absolute gold. I would wholeheartedly recommend. In fact I cannot wait for the next one. In the meantime, I’ll be using all the tools and reflections I took away from this experience

  • I have been practicing yoga on and off for 30 years (yikes!) and have never experienced such a powerfully emotional and opening style. Rosie was exceptional, she balanced the physical part of the session is based on our energy levels, but also pushed us to find the edge of both our bodies and spirits.

  • Rosie’s retreats are an incredible and unforgettable experience! I have travelled to Sri Lanka and Mexico with Rosie and I’ve met the most amazing people. Rosie puts so much care and time into ensuring the retreats have all that you may need from daily yoga classes, local activities, nourishing food and the time and space for you to reset and relax in the most beautiful location surrounded by nature and peace. Couldn’t recommend it enough!! ♥️

  • This has to be definitely one of those life changing moments or a time when you actually begin to realize that we all need to re-set , take some time off and most importantly invest in self. I cant recommend Rosie enough as she takes care this whole experience ticks all the boxes accurately . This is definitely going to be a yearly ritual for myself and i look forward to more such retreats . A special shout to Rosie's dad who's food is for the soul. Hence Rosie's retreat bring together an environment that feeds both Mind and soul !!!

    —Deepti

  • Some people are simply destined to do what they do, and Rosie is one of those people. She is truly the best yoga teacher I have ever come across. I’ve been practicing yoga for over six years and have never experienced a teacher with an energy like hers. She has such a calming, warm presence that instantly puts you at ease, and it stays with you long after the class has ended. Her classes are beautifully held, grounding and inspiring. Whether you attend a class or a retreat, you will leave feeling supported, centred and deeply nourished. I couldn’t recommend FCY more highly!

    —Ella

  • I was searching for a private yoga class for my group of 18 coming to London for a weekend trip. Rosie’s class was the PERFECT way to start our weekend! The group could not stop talking about the class all weekend, how wonderful the location of the studio Rosie booked for us and just Rosie herself, we all LOVED her! We all agreed that Rosie was the best yoga teacher we have ever had! I can’t recommend Rosie enough! Just perfect!

    —Helga

  • I have been on many Funky Cactus Retreats and i always come away feeling MAGIC, Rosie and her assistants make you feel completely looked after and nourished mentally and physically! Highly highly recommend. Will absolutely be booking onto the next
