This retreat is a chance for you to spend 5 days/ 4 nights in a nurturing environment among a very small group of like minded people.

A short retreat away from the noise and stress of the city and everyday life. A perfect setting to relax, nourish, energise & restore yourself.

Prepare to welcome the colder days with renewed energy and optimism.

Morning and late afternoon Hatha & Isha yoga sessions, meditation, crystal bowls & Tibetan bowls sound baths, beautiful morning walks to reconnect with nature, wild swimming, delicious wholesome vegan meals, stargazing by the firepit....everything needed to feed body and soul…..

'Yoga is the technology of upgrading, activating and refining your inner energies for the ultimate possibilities'. Sadhguru.

Riya Sri-Raviculan will be our yoga teacher. 

Riya was introduced to her first Surya Namaskar (sun salutation) at the tender age of 9 by a dance teacher, and grew up hearing about the immense health, wellbeing and spiritual possibilities Yoga could offer.

After trying out various 'styles' in adulthood, and even completing a 200 hour teacher training course on the banks of the Ganges in Rishikesh, she was always left feeling like she wanted more and that something was missing.

It wasn't until she did her first Surya Kriya at an Isha Hatha Yoga program that she felt she found what she was looking for - authentic Yoga that really works.

From there, a 21 day intense Yoga detox rid her of chronic allergies and convinced her to do an intense 21 week teacher training course at the Isha Yoga Centre in South India.

These classes might not be what you are expecting, but if you trust in the process, they might just work some magic for you too !
