Uplifting New Year yoga retreat in Norfolk, UK

About West Lexham

West Lexham is a thriving country manor estate that has been transformed by the Colville family to bring it back into local community life. It is a unique blend of elegant country manor estate with a wonderfully bohemian vibe, set in beautiful gardens, woodland and only 30 minutes drive from the sea.

The estate offers an idyllic natural environment with an eclectic range of accommodation from peaceful, modern en-suite rooms to cosy cottages. The heritage barn has been stunningly converted and provides an airy, bright space with underfloor heating, perfect for yoga and entertaining. The second yoga space is in the charming village hall closeby on the estate which has recently been refurbished and offers another beautiful space to practice with underfloor heating.

The daily programme

This retreat will be an opportunity for you to be in company with old friends or making new. All in a covid secure way of course. Or if you prefer it will offer the chance to have some quiet time, space and reflection. Your choice, alongside a morning and evening programme of yoga, pranayama, meditation and celebration.

Between two yoga teachers and two yoga spaces we have reduced the group size and limited numbers to 30 yogis (two groups of 15). Allowing plenty of space for yoga and in all communal areas. Each morning there will be a yoga class followed by a delicious breakfast with free time and lunch to follow. We will then meet again in the afternoon for another yoga practice. For each practice you will be able to choose between a more challenging dynamic practice or something more gentle and restorative, as you feel.

There will be a delicious celebratory dinner on New Year's Eve, a bonfire and celebrations.

Between classes there will be time for walks, trips to the beach, massage treatments or the space and time to simply hang out with a good book or relax by the fireside.

Accommodation at West Lexham

West Lexham offers unique, beautiful and very comfortable accommodation with a mix of twin and double rooms, dorm spaces and amazing tree-houses. This year we are offering plenty of single accommodation and reduced numbers in the treehouse dorms.

There are luxurious en-suite rooms set around a courtyard adjacent to the yoga barn. All have underfloor heating and huge windows which flood the rooms with natural light. They combine rustic charm with funky modern twists.

Charming and cosy traditional flint cottages are also part of the Estate. All cottage rooms have been recently refurbished and offer luxury chic interiors with twin or double bedrooms, most are en-suite and 2 rooms share a bathroom.

We also have stunning fully heated tree-houses, usually for six people but we have reduced this to offer them as three person dorms. One treehouse is more open with an en suite bathroom and the other has more separate sleeping areas and bathroom facilities a short walk away.
