Weekend Retreat on the Isle of Wight

This retreat is now fully booked. Please stay tuned for the next retreat announcement soon.

Settle into a peaceful, restorative atmosphere and experience the benefits of yoga on the Isle of Wight.

This special retreat offers a chance to reconnect with yourself and with nature in a calm, beautiful setting. Step away from the pressures of daily life and return to a deeper sense of inner presence.

Expect mindful walks in nature, yoga, nourishing meals, and time to unwind.

Through gentle yoga, yoga nidra, vinyasa flow, and sound baths, you will support both body and mind in a weekend of renewal.

About the retreat venue:

Godshill Park Barn, in the scenic village of Godshill in the southern part of the Isle of Wight, is an ideal place to relax and reconnect with nature. Blending traditional and contemporary features, this beautiful rural property sits within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The Yoga:

All yoga classes will be taught by me. From dynamic yoga designed to strengthen and stabilise the muscles, to gentle yoga that soothes the nervous system, along with deeply relaxing yoga nidra and sound baths*, I will guide you through a restorative journey that only a retreat can offer.

You are welcome to attend all classes or choose the sessions that suit you best.

*Sound baths will be led by a local sound practitioner.

Outline of the weekend:

On Friday 6th October, arrive at the venue at around 4 pm, where you will be welcomed with hot drinks and homemade cakes.

After settling into your room, we will gather in the yoga studio for an opening circle and a gentle yoga practice. Dinner and conversation will follow.

On Saturday, begin the day with a short mindful silent walk in nature before the vinyasa yoga practice. Enjoy a delicious brunch, then set off on a group walk to the coast and the village of Ventnor, approximately 90 minutes away on foot. Return to Godshill Park Barn early in the afternoon for some free time before the gentle evening yoga and deeply relaxing sound baths. If you would like to arrange a massage during the free time on Saturday afternoon, I can help organise this with a local massage therapist. Dinner and conversation will follow.

On Sunday, start with a mindful silent nature walk, then practice vinyasa yoga and share breakfast together. Explore the village of Godshill before lunch, then relax before the retreat’s closing circle. Departure is on Sunday early afternoon.

Anyone wishing to extend their stay at Godshill Park Barn can benefit from preferential bed and breakfast rates, which will be arranged and booked directly with the owners.
