We are taking ReWilding to the next level with this incredible once in a lifetime opportunity to accompany us into the outback of Mongolia.
Take a step out of time to immerse in ancient ways, learn from the nomadic lifestyle of those who still roam the land, breathe in raw nature, absorb the stunning scenery from horseback, and walk amongst the ruins of ancient civilisations that date back to the 6-7th century.
Let your wildest dreams come true.
ReWilding Mongolia is open to both women and men, all ages and life stages. It is a chance to learn from another culture, listen to the stories of the mountains and the rivers and provides a rare chance for you to encounter traditional shamans, female priestesses and nomadic herdsmen. We will camp and hike in the vastness of the Mongolian outback. Meet camels, yaks, horses and follow the flight path of the Sakar Amar falcons and Steppe Eagles.
Epics and great tales of old alike, speak of sages and kings, queens and yoginis who at some point step out of the mundanity of life, on a quest for deeper insight and shifts in consciousness. For the practitioners this would come in the form of liberating insight, and for those with duties in the world, it was a way to bestow different perspectives and ultimately make them better leaders - imbued with both wisdom and compassion.
Taking inspiration from the Hatha Yogis of the past, we recognise the microcosm within and symbiosis with our environment. A trip such as this holds the potential to reorientate priorities and seed an even deep appreciation of our one wild and precious life and connection with the natural world.

About Bex
Bex has studied yoga at university level whilst also spending trillions of hours on a yoga mat. She has taught thousands of women and trained hundreds of teachers. In short, Yoga is her passion and her constant companion and most intimate friend. It has sustained her through the kaleidoscope of life. He has been her guide through grief, her therapy after a freak accident, an antidote to stress & anxiety as well as a precursor for love and adventure!
Her homeland is Scotland and she carries its rich wilderness and myths in her heart wherever she goes. She grew up with a passion for social and environmental justice which led to her gaining a MPhil graduate degree in Development Studies at Oxford University.
The results of this maverick position has led her to teach yoga in some unlikely places including Bali's largest prison, in refugee camps in Palestine, women's refuges in Kathmandu and sex workers and women branded as witches in Kolkata.
Bex has been a resident teacher at the Yoga Barn in Ubud Bali since 2009. This has afforded her with a wealth of experience. She teaches Hatha, Vinyasa, Power, Yin/ Yang, Yin, Yoga therapy, Restorative yoga, Acroyoga, Thai Massage as well as the art of teaching, yoga history, philosophy and mythology.
Her work combines the practice and movement of yoga with its deeper roots through intensive research and study of its rich history and philosophy, resulting in a unique and sophisticated approach to yoga that questions the mainstream narrative created by mass media and corporations and is of specific benefit to women's holistic health.
She has been guided by some incredible mentors and teachers including Denise Payne, Uma Dinsmore-Tuli, Angela Farmer, Alexandra Pope, Emil Wendell and Mark Whitwell
About Jordi Jules
From a young age, Jordi has been fueled by a curiosity to unravel the mysteries of existence, starting with fundamental questions about the purpose of life. In 2004, he relocated to Australia to pursue one of his passions — surfing. It was during this period that he delved into consistent yoga practice and explored the profound wisdom of the Aboriginals, marking the beginning of a new adventure.
Jordi holds certifications as a Yoga Teacher, Qigong Teacher, and Quantum Flow Teacher. Additionally, he has delved into diverse disciplines such as past life regression and raw food cooking. What sets Jordi apart is his commitment to testing the benefits of these practices in the "real world." Amidst a thriving international career in high-end Hospitality Management, he consciously integrated these spiritual practices, finding a harmonious balance that contributed to his success.
In recent years, Jordi has shifted his focus towards sharing with the world the transformative benefits of spiritual practices. Having experienced the positive impact on both personal and professional aspects of life, he aims to inspire others to cultivate success with balance and harmony through these profound teachings.
