Reconnect, Rest & Rewild: Kenya Yoga Retreat 2027

Set in the foothills of Mount Kenya, this 7-day retreat is created for anyone feeling overextended, inwardly tired, or a little far from themselves. It offers a gentle pause: a chance to slow down, breathe, and return to what matters.

Days begin in sunrise stillness, with yoga and meditation framed by mountain views. Meals are made from ingredients grown on the surrounding land, and the pace is intentionally unhurried. Rather than being asked to achieve or perform, you are invited to soften into rest.

This nature-led experience combines mindful movement, healing energy, and cultural immersion to support body, mind, and spirit. In Kenya’s highlands, you can expect nourishing practices, plant-based meals, and a warm sense of community.

Held personally by Alice, with exceptional hospitality from the local team at Kilima Gardens, this is a carefully curated and culturally respectful luxury immersion. One participant described it as “a once in a lifetime retreat” and excellent value, with everything included.

At Kilima Gardens, family-run eco-luxury meets wild beauty. Rooms include queen or king-sized beds, ensuite bathrooms with hot showers and flushing toilets, organic toiletries, and drinkable filtered tap water. Some offer garden views, some face Mount Kenya, and some include outdoor showers beneath open skies. Guests also enjoy an infinity pool, Nordic wood-fired sauna, cold plunge, treehouse hammock deck, lush gardens, and fireside evenings under the stars.

Alice is a yoga teacher, Reiki practitioner, and UK NHS doctor with a deep love of holistic wellbeing in nature. Participants consistently describe her presence as warm, professional, and deeply reassuring.

Meals are an important part of the experience, with fresh vegetarian and vegan dishes prepared from local produce. Tea, coffee, soda, and filtered water are included throughout the day, and all dietary needs and allergies can be accommodated.

Included excursions take you to Nanyuki town, where you can explore markets, cafés, and jump the equator, as well as to the Mau Mau Caves on a scenic forest walk, with the option of a wild swim.
