Share this Product
Join us for our popular Summer Yoga Retreat set in the Vale of the White Horse. This is our fourth visit to this stunning location. With outdoor Yoga Classes, meditation, walks along the ridgeway, workshops and much more, we offer a perfectly balanced schedule giving you plenty of activities, whilst ensuring you leave the retreat relaxed and rejuvenated. We will be joined again by the Beechen family caterers, Bob and Kathy who will be cooking up more of her much loved, homemade vegetarian treats.
Each of our Retreats has a theme running though the weekend and the theme this time will be Ayurveda and the Doshas.
At our last Retreat we made the video below to show you what it's like to be on a Retreat with us.
More Information

Accommodation at this venue is in traditional bunkhouse style. There are two sizes of dormitory; 4 bed and 12 bed. There is one 12 bed dorm, available to women only.
