How to support ourselves through Ayurveda during the seasons of Autumn and Winter

Ayurveda, often called the sister science of yoga, is a time-honoured system of holistic healing that has guided healthy living for thousands of years. With roots stretching back 5,000 years, it brings together the science and art of longevity, offering practical ways to care for the body, mind, and spirit. During this weekend retreat, you are invited to explore Ayurveda more deeply and discover how to support yourself through the transition from Autumn into Winter with greater balance and ease.

About the yurts:

SKY DOME YURT LIFE
There is something truly special about staying in a yurt. Simple yet enchanting, with wooden lattice walls and radial rafters, it carries an exotic feel while remaining deeply comfortable. The yurts are well spaced to provide privacy and seclusion. Each one is luxuriously furnished with a cosy seating area and styled with sheepskins, soft Donegal tweed wool blankets, heavy 15 tog duvets, plush pillows, and crisp white linen. All offer beautiful views of the lake, mountains, and forest. There are 4 single beds available in each yurt.

THE LODGE
The Lodge serves as the communal amenity and social hub for retreat guests. It features a large space that is ideal for movement classes, along with toilets and hot showers. Its most striking feature is the Reciprocal Room, a light-filled lounge with spiralling beams overhead and sweeping views of the lake, forestry, and mountains.
