the retreat
Yoga Class at The Yoga Space

The retreat is an invitation to anyone who has an interest in yoga, wants to learn more about breathing and meditation and experience the benefits of healing sounds. The workshops will focus on how to release tension, free your body, relax your busy mind and rest deeply. We will take a joyful, playful approach and make time to take a pause and look after ourselves. By nourishing our body and mind, through movement, breath, sound and food, we can regain our balance and restore our energies.
What is included:

Accommodation
Orchard Yurt
|
You will be staying in beautiful Mongolian yurts situated amongst the trees, overlooking fields and farmland. The accommodation is shared, with between 3-4 people sharing each yurt.
Yurts originate from the nomadic tribes that roamed central Asia. These lattice-framed dwellings wrapped in animal skins could withstand the harshest of climates and still be completely portable. Today, yurts tend to be made from modern materials but the characteristic round shape surrounding a lattice frame still holds true. And with the ornate paintwork inside, it makes for a thoroughly magical experience. Please note: This retreat is offered on a residential basis only. We consider building community and time spent together in nature to be the foundations to living healthy, well balanced and happy lives. To find out more about the yurts click here. |

Stacey Black
Yoga Teacher @ The Yoga Space 
Yoga has been a part of my life for over 15 years, it has given me strength and guidance both on and off the mat and inspires me to live each moment more fully. In 2011 I completed my 200 hour Hatha Yoga training with Friends of Yoga and then went on to do my advanced training with Steve Harrison from the Yoga Sanctuary in Southampton. Yoga is the joyful pulse of life, it cultivates the awareness of the body, mind and breath, and brings them together to consciously unity as one. My passion is to help others find this joy, to create a safe place for people to practice and explore yoga and enable them to create space free from obstacles in their own bodies. Three years ago, I started The Yoga Space. It is set in the beautiful surroundings of the Meon Springs Yurt Village. It is a place for people to come and breathe deeply, to move their bodies and re-connect with their inner self. I teach an organic blend of hatha yoga movement, breathing and meditation. I seek to help others thrive in life by nurturing their body, mind and soul through yoga, and my hope is that you leave this retreat feeling refreshed, nourished and balanced. I will always be a student of the practice and am deeply grateful for the loving wisdom my teachers have shared with me. |
Samantha Britton
Sound Healer @ Sirenity Sound for the Soul 
I began my journey with Sound in 2011 when attending a Sound Healing Circle with my Kundalini Yoga teacher. The singing bowls and other beautiful instruments called to me and I found myself training as a Sound Healing Practitioner with The College of Sound Healing. Music is my life and I love to share this and create the space for people to release from the limitations of the physical body and mind and reach a place of stillness, inner peace, wellbeing and calm. I have been helping people by running regular Sound Bath’s, Sound Healing workshops and 1-2-1 sessions since 2011. My aim is to lull you into a deep relaxation and allow the daily stresses to slip away. I love the outdoors and connecting with the Sounds of Nature. I believe that the natural environment is key to our development and wellbeing and I love to work in locations that have a strong connection to nature. I will often be found playing some of my handmade instruments such as singing bowls, Native American Flutes and Hand Pan alongside the ocean or in the hills! I also have a passion for helping people to connect with their voice and really do believe we can all sing and make beautiful sounds using our unique voices! I love to lead toning, chanting and singing with groups as it creates a deep connection to ourselves and each other and can be an uplifting and expansive experience. I have experienced a diverse lifestyle and have been blessed to have amazing mentors and teachers and I hope that you find the knowledge I share kind, committed and inspirational. |

Vanessa Hamon – Earth’s Kitchen
My catering journey started at the age of 13 washing up in my friend’s mum’s cafe in Petersfield. I started my own festival catering company 9 years ago after attending a festival where the vegetarian options were poor to say the least, and I thought "hey I can do this!". I specialise in vegetarian, vegan and gluten free cooking. My friend said I could be French because I am always thinking what to have for dinner at breakfast. Alongside event catering, I work in an independent school cooking from fresh every day for 50 people providing a healthy, balanced, vegetarian and vegan menu. I am passionate about food being the key to our health and wellbeing. After working in care and hospitals I realised just how important it is to eat healthy to stay healthy! So, I decided to study nutrition. I use my knowledge of nutrition when planning dishes and menus. I have been friends with Stacey and Sam for a few years now and I am delighted to be to be able to cook for you on this retreat. |
Vanessa has created a menu that is nourishing and fulfilling without overloading your body, in order that you can still comfortably enjoy the daily activities. Breakfasts: We will start the day with granola, yoghurt, a selection of fruit, bread and preserves. Snacks: Will consist of homemade flapjacks, cakes and fresh fruit.
