YOGA DAY RETREAT - Come back to your senses
A day designed for you!
This carefully curated day retreat invites you to step away from the business of life and back into your body.
Come back to your senses - an immersive day of self-care, exploring the art of being present.
Throughout the day, every experience has been thoughtfully chosen to help you slow down enough to notice the richness of life, here and now.
Inspired by yogic practices and principles we will explore the art of finding peace not by adding more to life, but by becoming fully present with the life that’s already here.
Through movement, stillness, sound, thoughtful food and massage, by therapist Alice, you’ll be gently guided back to yourself.
Whether you’re new to yoga or have an established practice, this retreat offers you a welcoming space to rest, reconnect and return home feeling reset.
Places are intentionally limited to create an intimate space where everyone has room to be supported and simply be.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
Expansive yoga session to awaken body and breath
Yogic philosophy to provoke reflection
and contemplation
Nutritious lunch, tea and cake
Restorative yoga session with massage by Alice
Soothing live soundscape
Kirtan chanting

Enjoy quality time together
Build trust through partner-based movement and communication
Boost confidence by trying new challenges in a safe, supportive environment
Improve balance, strength, coordination, and body awareness
Develop problem-solving and teamwork skills as you learn new poses together
Strengthen your bond through shared achievements and plenty of laughter
Acro yoga isn’t about being flexible or athletic—it’s about connection. It’s about communicating, supporting one another, celebrating progress, and having fun together.
We can’t wait to welcome you and your mini-me to the Nest!
£30 per ticket – includes one adult and one child.
