Long Spring Weekend Retreat
28th April - 1st May 2023 | Oxfordshire, UK
About the country house
We will be practicing in a beautiful handcrafted yurt, set within the stunning Hertfordshire countryside of Aldenham estate, Elstree – a tranquil dedicated space to expand, breathe deep, unwind, and come home to ourselves amongst the sounds and energy of nature.
This workshop will be focussed on using Ayurvedic teachings to balance the Vata Dosha, and working with grounding practices to nourish and soothe the Muladara chakra.
Everything you will need from mats to blocks, bolsters and blankets are provided - you just need to bring yourself!
There is a wood burning stove to warm the space and create a super cosy atmosphere
Retreat programme
The first class will be on Friday evening, followed by a delicious dinner. Emma will then lead you through two classes on the Saturday and Sunday, a more dynamic morning class to align to body and breath and an afternoon practice to delve deeper into the postures and relax and restore.
Three nourishing vegetarian meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner, will be offered on the Saturday and Sunday. On Monday there will be a morning practice followed by brunch.
Each day between classes, there will be the opportunity to walk, have a massage, relax in one of the comfy lounges with a good book or take a long bath.
Things to do
The surrounding countryside is perfect for taking long country walks and the house grounds and gardens offer space to sit in nature and simply be. There will be massages on offer in the free time, or you can curl up on one of the big sofas to read or enjoy an afternoon nap.
Accommodation & food
The luxurious rooms are spacious, light and offer an extremely comfortable haven to relax and rest in. Bathrooms are plentiful and shared. The sitting rooms have deep, comfy sofas and expansive views of nature and the surrounding countryside.
Delicious, healthy food will be served throughout the retreat. All meals will be vegetarian delights to nourish body and soul.
