YOGA & WELL-BEING RETREATS
DEVON: 5th-8th OF JULY 2024 OR 4th-8th OF OCTOBER 2024
Fancy escaping your home this July or October for a few days and retreating to the North Devon coast? While you’re there, how about doing some yoga, eating some delicious plant-based food, going to the beach and getting a massage? Maybe on the next day, more yoga, more healthy food, do a bit of nothing for a while, take a countryside walk, do some more yoga before experiencing an incredible live gong bath.
Here’s the plan: Fill a beautiful farmhouse in North Devon with some lovely, like-minded people to practice three days of exceptional yoga over a long weekend. You will arrive on Friday the 5th of July OR Friday the 4th of October in the afternoon (welcomed with afternoon tea, a light yoga practice before a delicious supper) and you will leave, rested, relaxed and energised (after morning practice and a good breakfast) on Monday the 8th of July OR Monday the 7th of October.
Your home for the weekend is a Farmhouse in East Down, a lovely Devon village, about four hour’s drive from central London. By train it's a three and a half hour journey from London Paddington to Barnstaple train station and then a fifteen minute transfer.
The Farmhouse is situated in a tranquil and rural spot near woodlands with lovely gardens to relax in. It's also a short drive to the many beautiful North Devon beaches, National Trust spots and walking trails. While you’re on retreat you'll have the option of doing as much or as little as you like. You might find yourself sea kayaking, paddle boarding or have surfing lessons. Alternatively you could go for a hike on the headland around Morte Point or Woolacombe beach or book a session with the in-house holistic practitioner for massage, reflexology or reiki. The Farmhouse has a newly built sauna inside its walled garden with stunning views over the surrounding countryside.
A day on retreat will probably look something like this:
A morning 90 minute vinyasa yoga class
A hearty plant-based brunch
Free-time to do what ever you like:
You might explore the local area, relax in the farmhouse or book a holistic treatment etc.
A pre-yoga snack
Your second, more restorative, 90 minute practice of the day
(or a gong bath on one evening)
A delicious plant based dinner cooked by our head chef, Ursula Lake and her team.
A great nights sleep
The accommodation at the Farmhouse is spread out over seven rooms accommodating a maximum of fifteen guests.
Most rooms are en-suite with twin beds, but there is an option of a double bed in some.
There is one triple room and one twin room that share a bathroom. These rooms are priced accordingly.
Bathroom towels, yoga mats, straps, blocks and eye masks are all provided for you at the Farmhouse.
The following prices for the three-day retreat include all meals, snacks and herbal teas, all yoga classes and a gong bath on one evening:
One triple and one twin room with a shared bathroom cost £540 per person (£270 non-refundable deposit)
The remaining twin/double rooms with ensuite bathrooms cost £595 per person (£297.50 non-refundable deposit)
N.B. There will be an additional charge for any additional activities such as a surf lesson, sea kayaking, the use of the sauna or any holistic treatments.
