Tresco, Scilly Isles

On the second-largest of the Isles of Scilly, local yogi Gem Hansen leads outdoor classes for regulars and holidaymakers in island beauty spots, often on the fine white sands of Appletree Bay. When the weather takes a turn for stormier, sessions move to the Flying Boat Studio, a bright space with views over the neighbouring island of Bryher. With training in Bali under her belt, Hansen tends to focus on slow-flow yoga. For somewhere suitably relaxed to retreat to afterwards, book a room at Tresco’s New Inn, which reopens in April after a major refurb.
Classes from £16 per hour, tresco.co.uk. Double rooms from £120 a night, tresco.co.uk
