New Year Day Retreat
New Year Day Retreat
New Year of Self Love
Embrace the new year with loving intentions as well as honouring the rest needed after a busy Christmas period, on a day retreat at Hill Farm, Tintern.
Slow down and breathe with some yin and restorative yoga in the morning, before enjoying a delicious seasonal lunch by our in-house retreat chef.
In the afternoon, we will focus on our vision boards and intentions for the year, before taking some time to relax in our outdoor eco-spa, breathing in the fresh, crisp winter air whilst keeping warm in our wood-fired hot tub. Massage treatments are also available (extra charges apply).

Yoga helped me recover both mentally and physically and I became and regular practitioner. I have a background working in prisons and at a women’s refuge and have seen for myself how yoga can help everybody.
I am a busy mum of 2 daughters and a business owner. I started taking yoga classes 13 years ago during my pregnancy and following the birth of my first daughter. However, I really felt the benefits after suffering post-natal anxiety and psychosis following the birth of my second daughter.
I started to run retreats after being made redundant from the charity sector on maternity leave. I have a tourism business management degree and I saw a gap in market for retreats in the Wye Valley and Forest of Dean. That led to me undertaking my first yoga teacher training and the rest is history. I truly love teaching and seeing the positive difference is makes in my students’ lives. I feel truly blessed to be offering classes that can be described as a bottom up to healing.
