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.

Hike

The world famous South West Coast Path is just a stone throw from our retreat base at East Soar Farm. Each day, after a nourishing freshly squeezed juice, yoga and breakfast, 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 healthy 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.

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.
