A two or three night retreat for individuals or groups of up to three, arriving on Thursday or Friday after 4pm. You will have exclusive use of our accommodation which includes a double bedroom and two singles (one of which can become a twin). If not needed as a bedroom, we make up the second room as a relaxation space with a day bed, eating area and your own fridge. Both rooms have a lovely view across the fields to the sea.

If you have any specific concerns about your ability to participate please contact me before the class. Typically the class will include some movement from standing or seated, followed by supported postures, relaxation and a meditative practice.
