Location

We will be staying at West Lexham, a boutique retreat centre exclusively for yoga and meditation practice.

Set within a gorgeous 21 acre estate, with plentiful wildlife, flowers and foliage, there’s always something to see. The land is criss-cossed by ley lines offering powerful energy spots. The lawn is the perfect space for a picnic, or head across the river and get lost in amongst the trees.

The amazing natural energy of the land and beautiful scenery is the perfect setting for our healing and nourishing retreat.

Set beside a lake, which makes the ideal setting for a lazy row in a boat, some paddleboarding, or wildlife spotting. It’s also a popular choice for wild swimming, which is a unique and wonderful experience. The lake is open year-round, and is enjoyed throughout the seasons by hardy swimmers.

The outdoor pool is naturally filtered, meaning it is devoid of any harsh chemicals. It is heated by a biomass boiler, making it even more eco-friendly.

Roughly 3 hours from Chobham.

YOGA

We will have 3 morning classes and 2 afternoon workshops.

Afternoon workshops will be an opportunity to explore techniques together; they are fun and interactive but will always be grounded through chanting & pranayama.

All yoga classes & workshops will be taught by Claire Berghorst, a senior Ashtanga yoga teacher who has been teaching on a full time basis for over 16 years, and practising much longer!
