Easter weekend yoga retreat in Oxfordshire, UK

About Braziers Park

Braziers Park is a hidden treasure, set deep in the beautiful countryside of south Oxfordshire, offering a relaxing retreat in nature less than two hours from London. The long weekend is an opportunity to revitalise and reconnect with yourself and others.

This warm country manor house is set deep in beautiful countryside and the rolling Chiltern Hills of South Oxfordshire, an area of outstanding natural beauty. The location is perfect for a deeply relaxing and rejuvenating retreat.

The old manor is Grade II listed in the strawberry gothic style with an abundance of character and beauty. Real log fires, plentiful sofas and a grand piano are amongst its charms - all set in 57 acres of land with beautiful gardens. Braziers is a working eco-community with sheep, chickens, a walled vegetable garden and an ancient orchard. The community welcomes you to enjoy the rustic old charm and be part of Braziers Park.

The daily programme

The first class with Lila will be on Friday evening. This will be a gentle open flow to help you unwind from your journey and ease into the retreat. Then together the group will enjoy a delicious dinner. On Saturday and Sunday there will be two classes. A more dynamic morning class to align to body and breath followed later on by a late afternoon class where we will slow things down and enjoy a deep relaxation. Each day after morning yoga there will be the opportunity to walk, have a massage or relax in one of the comfy lounges or take a long bath.

Monday morning will start with a strong morning practice then another delicious breakfast. The group will come together for a meditation walk and closing circle before lunch and then say our goodbyes to end the retreat. Arrival time on the Friday is from 3pm onwards. The first yoga session will be at 5pm. The weekend will finish on the Monday after lunch.

Things to do

A quaint and quirky venue with plenty of space to nestle down with a book. There's the library, the study, the dining room and an informal space by the log fire and grand piano.

A lovely woodland walk is a great opportunity to experience some of the wildlife around the estate. There will be delicious vegetarian food and plenty of time just to hang out and chat, meet new people, read, relax and enjoy being in the community in natural surroundings. Massage treatments will also be available at an additional cost.
