Boutique Winter Yoga Retreat, 14 - 16 Dec

Respira Yoga London is thrilled to announce our first ever Boutique Winter Yoga Retreat taking place in stunning West Sussex Countryside.

Step away from the frenetic pace of life and join us, pre-festive season, to spend a cosy weekend in luxurious converted barn accommodation surrounded by lush nature, whilst delving deep into the magic of yoga. This is the perfect opportunity to reconnect with yourself, slowing down and finding light & inspiration for the festive season & coming new year. Perfect for complete beginners and experienced practitioners who would like to deepen their practice alike.

Enjoy healthy, nourishing meals, twice daily yoga, free time to relax and unwind with a book, a swim in the pool, chill out in the sauna or treat yourself to a massage or other treatment. Surrender into bliss as you allow the layers of stress to peel away in this gorgeous sanctuary. Enjoy beautiful walks, taking in the uninterrupted views of glorious landscape and perhaps explore the nearby quaint, historic town of Arundel, named 'the most mindful destination in Europe', and take in its unique plethora of craft and antique shops and cafes.

This healing and nurturing weekend will allow your nervous system to rest and will help to release deeply held tensions from the body and mind. A wonderful, nourishing opportunity to pause and reset your rhythm, get back in sync with nature and rebalance for the winter season.
