What does the day involve?

Escape the hustle and bustle of your daily life with our blissful yoga day retreat set in the idyllic countryside of the Cotswolds.

You can expect to find a sense of calm, nourish and reset with a day curated so you can fully relax and switch off.

When you arrive, roll out your yoga mat in our stunning studio space with large windows that look out to the beautiful grounds and golden Cotswold stone.

Then, join us in the peaceful forest glade, where we will begin with introductions, an overview of the day and intention setting. Leave your phone behind as you step into the tranquil space hidden in the trees; listen out for birdsong, the stream flowing and leaves rustling in the breeze.

Then, head back to your mat where our first yoga class begins. You will start with some breath work to revitalise, a slow warm-up including neural flossing and then flow into an energising yoga sequence. The class will contain variations for all levels and functional movement. Try a range of brain drills to find more stability in your movements, increase your range of motion and focus the mind. Finish with a relaxing meditation and serene savasana.

Next, a homemade lunch of healthy and nutritious food awaits you.

Afterwards, reconnect with nature with a guided stroll through the 17 acres of picturesque countryside. If the weather doesn’t permit this, we shall get cosy indoors and partake in a mindfulness journaling activity.

In the final part of our day, you can expect to fully unwind with calming breath work, gentle stretches, more functional neuroscience, a yoga nidra (meditation) and a mini sound bath. Ending the class with essential oils and melting on the mat in savasana.

As a thank you for joining, you will receive a gift bag with locally sourced items.

This retreat is limited to just 15 spaces, ensuring plenty of space between yoga mats and individual physical alignment during the yoga classes.
