Retreats 2023/2024
Yoga Retreats 2024
If you’re craving some precious me time away then why not join us on retreat?
With three nights away for Yoga twice daily, poetry, essential oils, meditations and sharing circles it’s a perfect pause for you to reset and replenish your energy. Afternoons are free for you to hike to the sea, take rest or laze about in the indoor pool. With a transformative fire ceremony and beautifully home cooked nourishing food this time out is true gift to yourself.
A yoga retreat is way more than yoga it’s a kind alchemy that takes place. In the stepping away from your life for a few days by removing the consent stimulation from the familiar external environment real shifts can take place. Without the familiar pulls a vision of a different future can emerge.

Thank you Sarah!! And thank you everyone. I'm feeling really filled up with joy and peace having spent the weekend with you all. My word this morning was "fullness". I've never laughed so much on a yoga retreat!

The accommodation
Set in the Marshwood Vale and beautiful rolling hills of west Dorset just two miles from the sea Bonhays Retreat centre is a sweet sanctuary of calm and tranquility amidst the beautiful surroundings of the Jurassic Coast - the only natural World Heritage site in England. There are several communal spaces with large sofas and a wood burning stove to keep you cosy with teas, snacks and fruit available in the kitchen areas throughout your stay. There is also an indoor swimming pool so don't forget to pack your costume
The view of the stars in the sky at night is truly beautiful.

The food
We take food seriously on our retreats. After our first yoga practice there is a nourishing help yourself breakfast buffet. Evie, our personal chef, will be catering especially for our wholesome lunches and dinners sourcing locally organic ingredients where possible (if she hasn’t grown them herself).
​
"Hearty, wholesome and healthy vegan/veggie meals were freshly prepared daily by the onsite chef and there was an abundance of fruit, snacks and drinks to keep you going in between meals. All the ingredients were organic/locally sourced/in season and you could taste the goodness in each plate. A favourite for me was the cinnamon poached pears"

'Yoga with Sarah are my absolute favorite yoga classes, and a four day yoga retreat is even better. She is such a thoughtful, caring and skillful teacher and makes everyone feel welcome with her unique combination of knowledge and humour. The yoga classes are both restorative and energising and the writing sessions, good food and beautiful surroundings all create such a memorable experience. I cannot recommend this retreat enough.'
