Holistic Yoga Retreats

As Spring approaches, are you yearning for new growth and positive change?
Could you do with some fresh inspiration for cooking delicious, healthy food?
Would you like more ease and peace in your life?

Open to everyone, beginners to yoga and those with more experience, our Refresh and Renew Retreat offers an immersive experience of yoga and its associated practices at a stunning location in the heart of the Devon countryside. By combining yoga practice with meditation, relaxation, conscious cookery and singing, the retreat is a chance to explore holistic living, and to develop a more meaningful connection with your life, your purpose and your place in the world.

• Hatha Yoga
• Meditation
• Pranayama
• Bhajans - singing from the heart
• Relaxation - massage, walking
• Cookery classes - for vitality & health
• Mindfulness of eating - for improved digestion
• Yoga Nidra - transformative inner journeying
• Fire Ceremony - let go of the old, call in the new
• Fun and laughter

Taking a balanced, 'middle way' approach, the practices and diet we share will be gentle and moderate, making way for easy integration post-retreat. You will receive a gentle and healthy detox as we share the healing practices of yoga and enjoy tasty yet cleansing food.

The pace of the retreat helps participants to remain energised and engaged throughout. The schedule is designed in such a way as to balance activity with rest, discussions and socialising with quiet, reflective time, and earnest inner exploration with fun and laughter.

The retreat experience can be deep and transformational, and we put a lot of care into setting up an environment that is safe, nurturing, friendly, relaxed and supportive. At Holistic Yoga Retreats, we are committed to promoting improved health, wellbeing and understanding, for the benefit of all sentient beings.

The food served will be delicious, nutritious and especially suitable for practitioners of yoga and meditation. It will be mostly organic and PEOPLE ON VEGAN AND GLUTEN FREE DIETS ARE MOST WELCOME!

Michelle will offer yoga and meditation based on the traditional Hatha Yoga teachings, taught in a way that is fluid, free and up-to-date taking into account each individual's needs.

As well as mindfulness, Ollie will share some of his rich experience from the worlds of Ayurveda and Oriental traditions as well as raw food and other contemporary cuisines. You will be given a booklet full of useful information and vibrant recipes to take home.

In the evenings we will enjoy the chance to sing together. With no need for musical ability, singing is a gentle form of exercise - it works the lungs and heart, oxygenates the blood and generates endorphins - happy hormones!
