About the retreat
We are very excited to return to boutique retreat venue, 42 acres, for a New Year yoga retreat to honour the beginning of 2022 in idyllic surroundings with great teachers offering, yoga, meditation, pranayama and mantra, free movement and voice work.
Dory and Kate will guide you through a wonderful mix of strong precise practice that incorporates the mala and vinyasa approaches as well as exploring more fluid ways of moving. A typical class will include asana, pranayama, guided relaxation, chanting and a taste of philosophy.
Come and celebrate life and begin the new year with a clear mind, an open heart and a rejuvenated spirit. What better way to start the year!
Set in 42 acres of private land, this beautiful retreat space is encircled by seven hundred acres of ancient forest. Sustainability and comfort are at the forefront of the 42 acres vision with reclaimed materials used in the interiors of the property, plus all power is renewable and self-generated through biomass and solar.
The New Year programme
This retreat will be an opportunity for you to have some quiet time, space and contemplation. Alongside the morning and evening programmes of yoga there will be space to reflect and re-set for the new year.
After dinner on the first evening we will gather together to enjoy a delicious yoga nidra practice to set the tone of these self-nurturing days. The days will begin with silent meditation, pranayama and a little mantra chanting. This will be followed by the morning yoga class. We then have breakfast followed by free time before the afternoon yoga practice which will build on what we have done in the morning, either taking us a little deeper into the poses or slowing right down to find the still point and inner calm.
A retreat enjoying the full spectrum of yoga. Also on offer are beautiful countryside walks, delicious wholesome organic food, the warm fireside and quiet time to contemplate and space to simply be.
Our schedule includes optional extras and participants are welcome to offer talks or workshops over the four days which we will try to fit into our schedule. Spontaneity is very likely. This retreat is suitable for all levels of yoga.
