Winter Yoga Day Retreat | Sussex

Sunday 26th January 2025 | SOLD OUT - Join the waitlist.

Embrace the depths of winter and join our day retreat at The Yoga Garden. 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. Late January is the perfect time to take a day just for you, the retreat will allow you to unplug, replenish you energy levels and set intentions for the year ahead.

"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, morning pages and setting intentions for the day 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 yoga nidra relaxation and head massage. We will close our day with guided jornalling to set positive intentions for the year ahead.

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.

As it gets dark outside we will light the candles, wrap up warm and sink into the magical world of Yin.

Hands on assists and massage, will be offered throughout to help you relax.
