Holly Cooper

Meet Holly Cooper, the co-founder of Pilates and Yoga holiday company My Escape. Offering Worldwide retreats with two expert teachers, combing the Yoga and Pilates is very healing and set amongst incredible backdrops gives an even greater sense of wellbeing.

Holly is a Yoga teacher herself, who has travelled the world gaining experience through many styles and practices. Her emphasis with Yoga is about feeling good, not taking things too seriously, and encouraging her students to use the knowledge they gain from Yoga classes in everyday life – after all, her own greatest lesson was that Yoga is a discipline, not just another form of exercise. For many years, Yoga for Holly was all about keeping fit. From early as age 15 Holly has been into sport and while at school, used regular Ashtanga Yoga to keep her supple alongside intense sports training.

Nowadays, Holly finds the gentler form of Hatha Yoga is what her body and mind really needs in order to feel grounded and relaxed. Throughout the darker months, you will find Holly teaching candlelit Hatha sessions in the stunning Studio iO, her yoga space in Brighton UK.
