Hike

The world famous South West Coast Path is just a 10 minute walk from our retreat base at East Soar Farm. Each day, after a nourishing smoothie we'll pull on our hiking boots and trek across the rolling fields and dramatic cliff tops of South Devon.


We're always armed with thermos flasks and snacks, offering plenty of opportunities for warming refreshments in hidden coves, sheltered amongst the rocks and caves of some of Devon's finest beaches.


Everyday, we'll hike up to 5 miles or more, enjoying a leisurely pace that allows plenty of time for snacks, drinks and photos. The coastal path is quite rugged in places, so we recommend bringing decent hiking shoes, a sturdy backpack and some waterproofs should the weather turn against us.

Swim, Paddle

For the adventurous among us, there will be plenty of opportunities for memorable and invigorating wild swimming experiences, as well as the chance to try out paddleboarding.


At Yoga Field & Sea we dip in the ocean every day, all year round, to take advantage of the many health benefits cold water offers our minds and bodies.


During your stay, we'll visit some of the most beautiful secluded beaches in the country, such as Soar Mill Cove, Starehole Bay and North Sands beach in Salcombe.


Led by our certified team of water sports experts, our ocean activities always begin with a safety briefing before heading into the revitalising salt water. We provide hooded towels and flasks of hot tea, both essential for the post swim warm-up. You can find out more about the team, here.

Location

This South Devon retreat is set to the backdrop of some of the UK's most stunning scenery. Tucked a short walk inland from the cliff-tops that dominate Salcombe harbour, we'll be taking over the accommodation and facilities at East Soar Farm.


Surrounded by farm animals and endless green fields, East Soar offers a true rural escape from the trappings of the modern world.


We will spend the weekend practicing energizing and restorative Yoga as well as hiking along the spectacular South West coast path, which is right on our doorstep.


We'll also make the most of stunning local beaches and coves for life-affirming wild swims and, for those who wish to, an introduction to paddleboarding.
