Testimonials

  • "This was my first ever yoga retreat / catered holiday and whilst I didn’t really know how things might work it more than exceeded my expectations in terms of beautiful location, thoughtfully planned out yoga classes and delicious healthy food. Everything was excellent!"

  • "This retreat surpassed my expectation in every way! The place was stunning, the yoga great and the food scrummy. Kat and Mim worked really well together as a team and their enthusiasm for what they are doing shone through. They were both fun and throughly professional at the same time. Thank you both (and Julian and Murray) for a really lovely week x"

    Lucy, London

  • "The best yoga retreat I have been on! Undoubtedly helped by the magical location, Kat and Mim (and Anoula and Steph) made us all feel welcome, valued, and part of the family. I wouldn’t hesitate to go back for more - am awaiting news on the next adventure :)”

Get in touch

  • What does a typical day on retreat look like?

    Each retreat is a little different, but you can expect a beautiful balance of yoga, rest, connection, and time for yourself. There will be space to enjoy the surroundings, take part in optional activities, or simply relax and recharge.

  • How many yoga practices will there be each day?

    There will usually be two yoga practices each day: a more dynamic practice in the morning to energise and awaken the body, followed by a slower, restorative Yin practice in the evening to help you unwind and settle into the night.
