Silence is essential, we need silence, just as much as we need air, just as much as plants need light. If our minds are crowded with words and thoughts, there is no space for us’ Thich Nhat Hanh’
Come take sanctuary in our stunning yoga retreat. We promise to nurture you and create a safe space where you can rest, reflect and reconnect with yourself & nature. This retreat is for those of us who really want to take some time out to self-care, unwind, let go and allow yourself to be looked after.
Our retreat is a beautiful space, with our spectacular studio overlooking the sea, allowing you to watch the weather rolling in from a far. In the evening, candlelit yoga and yoga Nidra is practiced on our cosy woolen mats, often we can hear the wind whirl around the studio, whilst we relax inside. It feels like a warm nest, safe and deeply relaxing.
Throughout the accommodation there are plenty of comfortable couches to unwind in, beside fires or with a sea view, and our glass fronted barrel top sauna and our cedar wood hot tub adds an extra spa experience to your stay. We pride ourselves in making people feel at home, whether chatting in the dining room, walking the beautiful surrounding areas or being welcomed by our wonderful staff.
Every morning will begin with a healthy and nutritious breakfast, followed with a beautiful silent walk beside the sea or over a hilltop overlooking the sea. Walking in silence is a complimentary practice to our meditation practice, the aim is to walk mindfully, letting go of the need to talk, to quote Naht Han ‘talking is who we think we are, silence is who we are.’
Returning from our walk we will head up to our exquisite glass fronted studio to enjoy a breath work practice followed by meditation and some gentle stretching and opening into our bodies.
After this practice there will be a healthy hearty lunch, lovingly prepared by our dedicated and creative kitchen team. In the afternoon there is free time for you to do as you wish, it is often a lovely opportunity to curl up on one of our comfortable couches with a book, or enjoy the sauna, or cedar wood hot tub or go explore the local area. Our intent is to encourage people to rest as much as possible and enjoy the beautiful surroundings of our retreat.
The evening practice is all about letting go. We will practice restorative yoga, which is calming for the nervous system and deeply relaxing for the mind and body. Expect to float out of this practice.
We will return to the dining room for another delicious meal, and then after dinner you can enjoy a calming yoga Nidra session before heading off for a deep relaxing sleep.
Overall this is a restorative yoga and meditation retreat. You will rest, feel nourished and develop a practice that you take with you to help you unwind and relax in your own home.
