Stretched and strong on a YOAS weekend at Poundon House

Jane Dunford reviews a YOAS weekend at a gorgeous manor house in the Oxfordshire countryside and finds all she needs to return to her life calm, clear and strong.

“Close your eyes and I’ll tell you when to open them,” says my taxi driver. A slightly strange request as we approach Poundon House – a short ride from North Bicester station in Oxfordshire – but the big reveal makes sense. There at the end of a long drive bordered by snowdrops and bare-branched lime trees stands a striking country pile, the Oxford sandstone glowing gold in the late afternoon sun.

I’m here for a weekend with YOAS Yoga Retreats (who run a full programme around the UK and abroad), led by south London yoga teacher Tania Brown.
