The turning of the year is such a powerful time to take time out and reflect, before the mad rush of Christmas is upon us, and while we still have time to put into place any realisations before the new year starts. This weekend yoga retreat has been created to give you a powerful end to the year while replenishing those empty tanks so that you can go into the holiday feeling refreshed and clear about what you want – both from the festive period itself, and from the year ahead.
Autumn Yoga Retreat, Dates TBC
The Guildhouse, Stanton, nr Broadway, Vale of Evesham
£395 shared accommodation, all inclusive
£495 single accommodation, all inclusive (limited availability)
Do you feel a little run-ragged by the year?
Would you like to bring 2019 to a close with clarity over what you’ve learned and where you’ve grown…
… and also with a sense of lightness about 2020 and everything new it can bring?
Time is one thing we cannot replenish, so we must use the time we have to truly serve our purpose. On this retreat, in the most exquisite Cotswolds countryside, I will be sharing with you the techniques I use to stay absolutely on purpose in life. I will show you how to nurture yourself physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually and how to share some of those techniques with the people you love.
The yoga retreat includes meditation, reflection, coaching, walking and both group time and time alone, in addition to a mixed programme of yin yoga and hatha yoga flow. The food is simple and sumptuous vegetarian food. The accommodation is comfortable and beautiful.
We arrive for 6pm on the Friday and depart by 3pm on the Sunday.
We do hope you will join us.

My name is Joanne Sumner and I am a trained therapist, practitioner, coach and trainer in Yoga, Reiki, Meditation and Flower Essences healing.
I use a serene approach to bring purpose, passion and peace to my clients and students making the journey. My teachings use learning, creativity and movement in a special way that is insightful to all. Offering group classes and one to ones, practising yoga has changed my health and my mind. So much so, that I trained to become a teacher in order to offer the benefits of yoga to others. In particular, I wanted to offer yoga classes in Ealing, West London, because I live here and I wanted to do something that I felt would contribute to my local community.
Yoga is a beautiful and ancient tradition that will help you feel whole. To experience yourself as one happy, healthy, human being at peace with your life and in the world. It is a holistic approach, treating each individual as unique and precious.
Along the way, yoga will help you to:
reduce pain, tension and stiffness in your muscles; regain flexibility; build strength; recover from injury; manage stress; avoid burnout; become calmer and more emotionally resilient;
feel more adaptable; and personally, I find yoga gives me energy and helps me think!
The practice of yoga includes physical postures, breathing control, and relaxation and meditation techniques to bring peace and calm to the body and mind. We work with Sun Salutations, Moon Salutations, and other flowing sequences from time to time, and also with both yin yoga and restorative yoga. So the class is a blend of classical hatha yoga practice and emerging practice – to bring you a sense of deep well-being.
