YOGA HIKE SWIM PADDLE

Yoga

Each day, you will have the opportunity to enjoy multiple yoga classes, combining a mixture of energising and restorative sessions before ending each day with the ultimate in relaxation: Yoga Nidra or a healing sound journey.

Our yoga classes are suitable for all levels and experience - beginners are most welcome. Natalie's Yoga is an alignment based practice loosely based on the Iyengar style. This just means a great focus is put on safety and finding the correct version of a pose for your body. It's a very accommodating with the use of props to make postures accessible to all.

Before each retreat, you'll get the chance to privately discuss your ability and any specific health concerns with Natalie, ensuring that each class is carefully adapted for all. Find out more about Natalie, and the alignment based Yoga she shares.

Yoga sessions will take place in the Swallows Nest, a beautiful old Devon barn with a log burner set high up on the coastline outside Salcombe, or on the cliff tops over looking the sea.

Swim, Paddle

For the adventurous among us, there will be an opportunity for a memorable and invigorating wild swimming experience at a beautiful small cove, 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 in 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 the only group staying at National Trust's 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 energising 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.
