Sunday 28th January 2024 | Open for booking.
A day retreat at The Yoga Garden is the perfect way to spend a winters day. Nestled in the heart of the Sussex countryside, only an hour from South West London, you don't have to travel far but it feels a world away from the city. The Knepp Rewilding Project has given the land back to nature and this haven is now home to abundant wildlife and rare species.
"Hannah’s day yoga retreat was absolutely fantastic. I came away with a renewed love of yoga and feeling really refreshed and renewed. The location was beautiful and a great place to switch off and relax. The schedule for the day was perfect, with more energetic yoga in the morning and slower paced yoga in the afternoon. I didn’t want to leave!" - Megan
Yoga will take place in hand crafted yurts, with a wood burning stove to keep us cozy. After a welcome tea we will flow through a dynamic hatha vinyasa flow practice, followed by breathwork and meditation. At lunchtime we will share a delicious plant-based hot meal and dessert! You can then choose to stay curled up by the fire or to wrap up warm and take a guided walk around the stunning local countryside. As it starts to get dark we will return to our yurt for candlelit yin yoga, guided relaxation and head massage.
This intimate day retreat (12 people max) is open to all levels, and is a wonderful opportunity to deepen your practice in a small group environment.
Please get in touch if you have any questions or would like to book a place.
