Join me this November to Gather for 3 nights and 4 days of yoga in the beautiful New Forest.​
This Gathering will be at Arnewood Manor, a beautiful manor house situated in 11 areas of grounds near Sway in the New Forest. The house is spacious but also cosy with a very homely feel.
​
Our weekend begins on Thursday with a leisurely arrival anytime after 4pm, dinner on the first night will be at 7pm followed by our opening circle.
Friday and Saturday are our full and immersive days of yoga. There will be lots of offer but I am also aware that this is your retreat and you may wish to march to the beat of your own drum. Our location is only 10 minutes drive from the beach which offers a beautiful opportunity for a blustery walk, maybe even a swim. And of course we are in the New Forest where the walks are made even more magical by the proximity of the ponies.
Sunday morning is for more yoga and a light breakfast. Departure will be at 10.30am.
​
All rooms are located on the 1st floor of Arnewood Manor. They are spacious and light and all have wonderful views of the grounds from their windows. There are two bathrooms which will be shared between the rooms as well as one room which comes with an ensuite.
The house is warm and welcoming, with crisp linens on each bed. Towels are also provided.
There are no televisions in the rooms (or anywhere for that matter) and the internet is limited to a small downstairs space. This is an intentional decision by the venue in order preserve the sanctity of what it is to be 'on retreat'.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
- 3 nights accommodation at our stunning country home located deep in the New Forest with its own extensive grounds.
- Daily Yoga / Meditation sessions, all of which are optional. I am an experienced teacher and will guide you through these practices to suit your current ability, together we can also work towards any goals you might have. You will enjoy energetic classes as well as more gentle practices, relaxation, pranayama, philosophy and meditation.
- Delicious, nourishing & healthy meals - the day will start with an offering of herbal infusions, tea and coffee alongside fruit and a light nibble - for those that need a little something before morning practice. After our morning session we will enjoy a hearty brunch. There will be an afternoon treat to keep us going until we sit for a delicious dinner. All meals will be prepared by our own retreat chef Natalie. Natalie is passionate about food, vibrant living and yoga - she also teaches - you can read more about her here.
