Before you book
Your questions, answered
Which location is best for a first retreat?
Our UK retreats are a lovely place to start: shorter, easy to reach and gentle in pace. North Wales and Anglesey are three nights. If you'd like a hand choosing, message us on WhatsApp and we'll talk it through.
I'm new to yoga. Is that OK?
Yes. Many guests are beginners or returning after a long break. Every session offers options, so you can work at your own pace.
Can I come on my own?
Absolutely. Many of our guests come alone, and small groups mean you'll get to know people quickly. You can book a room of your own or share a twin with another guest.
What's included?
Your accommodation, all meals, daily yoga and the guided activities in the programme. Each retreat page lists exactly what's included and what isn't, such as travel.
How far ahead should I book?
Our groups are small, and many UK retreats sell out months ahead. A £250 deposit secures your place, with a monthly payment plan available.
