Yes we are returning! In 2024 myself and Lucie Norris will be running our
Autumn re-wilding — a yoga and wild swimming weekend retreat.
September 13-15/16 2024
Fancy something a little on the wild side as the summer draws to a close?
Join myself and Lucie Norris for for a weekend of yoga and wild swimming in the beautiful Bath countryside.
Staying in handbuilt cabins, yurts and shepherd's huts, enjoy two daily practices, guided pranayama for swimming, warm up in the woodland sauna after a wild dip, and take time to walk and bathe in the beauty of the woods. You'll nourish your soul and your body and face autumn fully refreshed.
Nutritious meals created by our lovely chef
Daily flow - provisional
Arrive from 4pm on Friday, settle in before a Yang to yin practice to help you unwind from your journey, then gather for a delicious dinner lovingly made by our chef.
Saturday and Sunday
Mornings will include a longer dynamic practice, a gentle stretch and pranayama before a wild dip. Warm up in the sauna.
After a healthy but hearty lunch, you'll have free time for walks, exploring or chilling in the hammocks or veranda of your yurt/cabin.
Late afternoon/early evening practice will be a more gentle Yang to Yin or workshop style session before gathering for a nutritious homemade dinner.
For those up for it, we'll gather in the evenings for starlight meditation and campfire rituals. (There are also local country pubs within walking distance.) Leave after dinner on Sunday evening, or stay Sunday night. We leave the woods by 10am Monday.

There will be free time each afternoon for whatever nourishes you, such as walking in nature, reading in a hammock, exploring the local area, visiting local chateaux (including the stunning one right across the field!) or likely swimming in the heated outdoor pool before our early evening yoga. This will vary between workshop-style sessions, flow and restore, or yin/fascia releasing movement and Yoga Nidra depending on the group energy, before enjoying our freshly prepared dinner. For the summer solstice, we will gather for songs/tales around a campfire, stargazing and meditation after evening dinner.
