Reviews

What retreat guests say

The 5-day course gave me two different kinds of asana practice that complemented each other, plus pranayama.

FAQ

Common questions

  • Around 8 guided hours a day across 6 days — two asana practices, pranayama, meditation and yogic-living sessions. You will be pleasantly tired and deeply reset by the end.

  • The pace suits practitioners with some yoga experience best. Complete beginners are welcome if they arrive ready for full days — or can start with drop-in classes or the 8-day retreat for a gentler rhythm.

  • Accommodation, three vegetarian meals a day and every session. You only add travel, visa and personal expenses.

  • Apply online with your preferred week and campus. We confirm availability within 24 hours; a 30% transferable deposit holds your place.
