| Quote of the day |
| How does a person take birth is something very deep, and it is very difficult for you to understand this. When death happens, the residue of desires becomes the cause of the next birth. Some desires are fulfilled in one life, but some desires remain unfulfilled. The cause of birth is nothing but desires. As long as desires remain, one takes birth again and again for the realisation of those desires. |
| Professor O. Sharma |

We believe that yoga is not just a set of physical exercises but an attitude to life. Part of this attitude is the importance of service to others. To this end, we have partly converted our family house into a yoga centre, in the heart of the Sussex countryside.
Our Oast house has accommodation for up to 15 people, and a large barn has been converted into a fully equipped yoga studio. The centre is set in 16 acres of land in a quiet and secluded area. The garden consists of fields, woods, a series of ponds, and an organic kitchen garden, which provides most of the ingredients for the vegetarian food that we cook here.
In this setting we run workshops and residential retreats. We see yoga as one way to develop an awareness of our inner selves and increase inner peace and happiness. This in turn helps to improve our performance in daily life and our relationships with those around us.
Lucie who leads most of the courses at Manor Farm is a British Wheel of Yoga qualified teacher and Yoga Teacher Diploma Course Tutor. She has recently moved to India to live near her spiritual teacher in Jaipur, but will come regularly back to England to continue leading workshops and retreats.
