Doing up Mandala Film- Part One

The Mandala Family is Growing!

The Mandala Family is Growing! Gosh its been a long time since I left a blog post here! We have pretty much upgraded everything at Mandala: the house, the gardens, the bathrooms, the kitchen and the olive press yoga shala have all been renovated and taken to the next level.... In addition to that We’ve all had a crazy few years haven’t we?! At Mandala we have been especially grateful to all of you who still found a way to travel and stay with us amidst all the uncertainty of late. Somehow we have stayed strong and we have soo much enjoyed our connection with you and all the other guests who have graced us with their presence since we opened in 2018. This year looks set to be a year like no other for us as we have just welcomed the arrival of gorgeous little Angelina Ananda Heath born on January 22nd after a lightning fast 4 1/2 hour labour (phew!!).

It no longer feels like everything is Shiva energy (endings) and Brahma energy (beginnings).... OK there is still a lot of that! But there is also a little Vishnu energy (maintenance) to balance things out now. We have found stability in our yoga routine, in our lunches in the afternoon sunshine, in our dog walks at the beach, and in the flow we have found here at

Dealing with the unknown

Ben on the jetty at Arillas beach When we decided to move to Corfu I was envisioning a quiet life of teaching yoga and meditation, of pottering around the garden, of doing lots of music and spending long lazy days on Arillas beach. I dreamed of a simpler and more relaxing life (...not that my life was terribly frantic before but there is always room for improvement isn't there?!). Ben dreamed of having more time in his shed playing with his lathe. Three weeks into life here and the penny has dropped that our dreams are a long way off! Ben's lathe is still in pieces and I'm covered in paint and dust from morning til night, working and working to uncover all the beauty in Mandala for our soon to arrive guests. Ben and I steal glimpses of relaxation everyday in between the DIY marathons and thankfully we almost there with the work now :) But the uncertainty we face is massive and I am realising that the only real way for me to feel truly secure r
