A deepening four-day yoga retreat to bring your practice home and recognise its ripple effect in your circles

Experience spacious support over four days that empowers you to engage with your practice on a deeper level. We gather in the hug of the Devon hills, met by woods and the river, with delicious, thoughtfully prepared meals each day, in the spirit of lifting each other up in community.

Our intention is for you to go back into the world nourished and equipped with a steady, challenging and sustainable  practice that you love:

LAND: Take pause, be nourished by delicious food, massage, restful surrounds, and restorative yoga nidra

DEEPEN:  Dive more deeply into the non-dual view, meditation, breathwork and mantra

EXPAND: Develop and nurture yourself in your movement practice in community, with plenty of options to meet your needs

INTEGRATE: Spend focused time taking the reins of your practice, refining your values and clearing your path in life.

Each day will look something like this…

8 - 9 am: Morning practice - kriyas, mantra, meditation 

9 - 10am: Breakfast

10am - 12.30pm: Morning workshop: asana and philosophy 

12.30 - 3.30pm: Spacious lunch & time to self - sauna, river walks, space to journal, sketch, reflect

3.30 - 6pm: Afternoon workshop - creative toolkits, integrating practice into your life

6 - 7.30pm: Dinner

7.30 - 9pm - Evening restorative session or community gathering

About the facilitators

We are Izzy Simpson (instagram.com/kula_yoga__/) and Hannah Embleton-Smith (spacewithhannah.yoga), and have each completed 600+ hours of facilitator training, mostly together.

We've engaged in most of our training with Sarah Harlow and Sam Burkey at Yogasara in Bristol, as well as learning with Bristol Yoga Roots, Uma Dinsmore-Tuli, and Melanie Cooper, among other teachers living online, and living in the texts.

Why we're offering this retreat

Through the waves of life, it's our yoga practice, ever-shifting yet enduring, that keeps us going. We have deep gratitude for the practices that keep us in touch with the heart, able to face reality as it meets us, and help maintain a resourced inner compass. We want to play our part in sharing the teachings that have offered us deep support over the years. If you're in a place where you're enjoying classes but not yet empowered to get on the mat at home, our intention is to give space for you to integrate these teachings into your life, increasing their impact and bringing meaningful shifts. If you have a developed practice, this retreat is a valuable opportunity to take stock of where you're at, how your practice has an impact more broadly, and how the threads of your life are weaving together.

Babs Greaves is an LGBTQIA+ vegan chef living and working in Bristol. They work with seasonal and foraged produce to create nutritious dishes and enticing flavours imbued with nature’s magic.
