SATURDAY 2nd NOVEMBER 2024, 10:30-17:00 *SOLD OUT*
Escape for a nourishing and intimate one-day yoga retreat in a very special private barn surrounded by the beautiful landscape of the North Wessex Downs.
This day is an opportunity to slow down and make time for yourself, for you to be fully present and to reconnect with yourself. With yoga and meditation practices, walking and connecting with like-minded souls, the day will create space for rest and reflection.
THE VENUE
Our day will be spent at a stunning private barn located in the village of Combe, which is 6 miles from Hungerford and 12 miles from Newbury. The barn is spacious yet cosy, with an exposed oak-framed vaulted ceiling and large windows looking out onto views of Walbury Hill, which at 297m is the highest natural point in South East England. Surrounded by the hills of the North Wessex Downs, we'll be in the perfect spot to take in the beautiful landscape and enjoy the stillness of the Berkshire countryside.
THE YOGA
The morning yoga practice will be active, combining asana, pranayama and meditation to allow you to connect with your body, your breath and your mind. The afternoon practice will be deeply restful, combining restorative yoga and guided meditation to promote complete relaxation.
The yoga practice will be suitable for all levels of experience, including those newer to yoga. If you have not practised yoga with me before, you can read more about me and my teaching style and experience here.
THE FOOD
To complement the day’s activities, lunch will be healthy and nutritious to nourish and replenish your body. It will be a freshly prepared two-course vegetarian meal, created by Jade's Green Kitchen. Any special diets can be catered for; please advise me of any specific requirements when booking.
THE WALK
On our doorstep we'll have access to a beautiful walk in and around Combe, taking in this stunning area of the North Wessex Downs, including Walbury Hill and Combe Gibbet. Walking boots or wellies are recommended.
