Escape to the Woods – Woodland Yoga Day Retreat

Sunday, 3rd September, 10am- 5pm, Ashlyn Woods, near Royston

Ready for a nourishing day in the woods, filled with gentle yoga, breathing practices and contemplation?

Join me in the woods for a perfectly relaxing day. This is a chance to step away from life’s frantic routine and indulge in some time to yourself, surrounded by nature.

We will honour the Late Summer, the transition from Summer season, with all its activity and expansion, to a more contracting phase, as we begin the shift from expansion into a more inward time of the year.

Late summer is an important transitional season, a time to re-centre, create stability, balance and comfort, in preparation for the cooler, yin stages of Autumn. 

In our day together we will work on creating stability, connecting to the earth and on feeling centred, as the Late Summer is a time for fostering these qualities.

If you have been to Ashlyn Woods before, no introduction is needed. It is a magical place, filled with life and stillness, paradoxically. Ashlyn Woods is a much loved, well taken care land, with a high vibration. So come and experience it for yourself, fill up and give back to Mother Nature some of your vibration too…

At this time of year, there is still some vibrancy from the summer, we can take this time to pause, connect with nature’s wisdom to enable us to recharge and re-centre in preparation for the Autumn Equinox on 23rd Sept.

So where better to gift yourself some SPACE to gather your whole self, to embrace stillness, and to welcome an invitation to BALANCE. You’ll have the support from a friendly community, a supportive environment, cradled by nature’s embrace.

Ashlyn’s woodland clearing offers both spaciousness and protected seclusion. It’s the perfect spot for a nourishing day of self-care and reconnection.

What is included in the day retreat:

  • 2 yoga classes
  • Breathing exercises
  • Woodland walk
  • Shared lunch
  • A simple vegetarian lunch (either soup or a nourishing salad; GF bread and regular bread. You’re invited to bring food to share)
  • Herbal teas

You’ll find plenty of green space for wandering and watching nature, plus a woodland kitchen and comfy sofas around a fire in the rustic shelters to relax and chat. 

This is your day so you’re invited to make the most of it, whether you choose to wander through the woods or join in with the group practices.
