Glowing Summer Retreat

About the workshop

It's July and The Yoga Garden is alive with summer colour, birdsong, light and warmth. This day retreat invites guests to rest in the yurt and reconnect with nature, with the element of air inspiring an uplifting yoga and meditation practice. The day begins with an energising morning yoga session and meditation, followed by a nourishing seasonal lunch. After lunch, guests can join a group walk around the Knepp wilderness or enjoy free time to relax in the yurt. If the weather allows, there’s the option of a swim in the pond, or a sauna can be booked separately at www.kindredsauna.com. The afternoon offers deeply restful restorative yoga with essential oils, followed by a calming yoga nidra. Teas and local fruity cordials are available throughout the day, creating a gentle, sensory experience of self-care and joy. The retreat is open to all levels, from beginners to experienced practitioners, and is also suitable for those rebuilding strength. Guests are guided in self-reflection and intention-setting while resting in the glow of summer. For anyone wishing to stay overnight, the Knepp Safari campsite website has booking details.
