Sunday 13th of October 2024 | Sold Out.

The remedy to the modern life, Hannah Pocket's day retreats at Cowdray Hall give you the opportunity to step out of your routine, reset and refresh.

Spend a beautiful autumn day in the heart of the South Downs National Park. Just over an hour from South West London, yet feels a world away from the city, space to reconnect with yourself and nature.

“Such a perfect way to spend a Sunday. Hannah is such a knowledgeable yoga teacher and makes everyone feel so welcome. I'm still on such a high from such a lovely day spent with a wonderful group of people. I can't recommend this yoga retreat enough.” - Rosie

Yoga will take place in a spacious hall with an impressive vaulted ceiling and a gorgeous parquet floor. The big windows flood the room with natural light and central heating will keep us cozy. We will start the day with a playful Hatha Vinyasa Flow followed by breathwork and meditation. At lunchtime a family style sharing feast will be provided by The Yellow Kitchen. You can then choose to rest in the hall, mooch around the farm shop and local village or join our guided walk around the stunning Estate to take in the autumn colours, the Queen Elizabeth Oak and Cowdray ruins. In the afternoon we will light the candles for yin yoga, guided relaxation and head massage.

This day retreat is open to all levels, everybody welcome.

If you have any questions or are interested in booking a place, please get in touch.
