HOT YOGA & WELLNESS
Retreat
(4hr)
Escape to our exclusive Hot Yoga & Wellness Retreat, where you'll experience a perfect blend of invigorating Hot Yoga, cold water therapy, and rejuvenating wellness practices.
Nestled in a stunning mountain setting, our retreat offers a unique opportunity to refresh your body and mind with personalised attention in small group sessions.
"The 4 hour retreat is divided into two parts—one at the Hot Yoga and Cold Water Dip area, and the other in our mountain-view studio for wellness sessions"
HOT YOGA - In our stunning mountainside Safari Hot Room, you'll take part in a transformative Hot Yoga session led by our expert instructor. With more personalised attention in a small group, you'll have the space and guidance to fully immerse yourself in this unique practice, designed to challenge and invigorate your body and mind.
After your Hot Yoga session, or whenever you feel ready, refresh and recharge with a cold water plunge in our natural spring water pool. You'll be guided through various techniques to enhance the experience, and help you to feel more confident and composed in the water. The contrast between the heat and cold is an amazing way to invigorate your senses.
WELLNESS STUDIO SESSION - In our peaceful mountain-view studio, you'll enjoy a wellness session led by one of our highly skilled instructors. This session includes deeply restorative Yoga Nidra, a soothing Mini Sound Bath, and other wellness practices all designed to support relaxation and rejuvenation of both body and mind.
SNACKS AND REFRESHMENTS - Throughout the day, enjoy delicious healthy snacks and refreshing drinks to keep you nourished and energized, ensuring you feel your best during every part of the retreat.
SMALLER GROUPS
The group will be divided into two smaller groups of no more than 10, with one half focusing on the Hot Yoga and cold water contrast experience, while the other half enjoys the studio-based wellness sessions, before rotating to ensure everyone gets the full benefit of both rejuvenating aspects of the retreat.
This ensures a more personalised experience and focused instruction from our expert teachers, allowing more space and freedom in the hot yoga class.
"Don't worry—you’ll always stay with the friends you came with, ensuring you share every moment of the experience together."
THE PLUNGE POOL
It's the largest naturally fed plunge pool in the UK, fed by a pristine natural spring that flows from the heart of the mountain, it has a rich history of supplying local villages. Today, we're repurposing this spring water for your wellness.
🌿 Natural Spring: Our pool is fed by a pure, continuously flowing natural spring, ensuring the freshest mineral water throughout the year.
❄️ Ideal Temperature: The water maintains a refreshing temperature between 5 and 12 degrees Celsius, providing the perfect conditions for cold water training.
🌞 Scenic Location: With breathtaking mountain views and the therapeutic powers of the spring, you'll enjoy an outdoor experience like no other.
🌊 Clean and Safe: Our pool is free from stagnation and artificial filtration, making it one of the cleanest and safest places to experience cold water therapy.
This, combined with our Safari Hot Room, offers the full benefits of hot and cold contrast therapy
IS THIS, OR THE BEGINNERS EDITION FOR ME?
We offer two versions of the retreat: the Standard Edition and the Beginners Edition, both designed to accommodate different fitness levels and experience with hot yoga.
Standard Edition: The Standard Edition is ideal for those with prior yoga experience or individuals who exercise regularly. The Hot Yoga class takes place in a room heated to 40°C, much like the challenging classes you’ll find throughout the UK, but with our own unique twist. You’ll be guided through a series of dynamic poses, some of which require strength, flexibility, and stamina. This version is best suited for people who are confident in their fitness level and ready to take on the intensity of the heat and poses. If you’ve practiced yoga before and feel comfortable stepping it up, you’ll do great.
However, if you’re unsure or concerned about the intensity, we recommend considering the Beginners Edition.
Beginners Edition: The Beginners Edition is a more accessible version of the retreat for those new to yoga or anyone who prefers a gentler approach. While the room is still heated as normal, the Hot Yoga session will focus on less demanding, more floor-based poses and slower transitions, making it easier to build your confidence and ease into the practice. This version still provides the benefits of hot yoga but with a focus on comfort and relaxation over intensity, so no prior experience is necessary. The cold water dip and wellness practices are the same on both versions....LEARN MORE
“This retreat is thoughtfully designed around the concept of Yin and Yang, balancing the intensity of the hot room and cold plunge with the deeply restorative relaxation of our studio session. Hot Yoga is challenging, it requires both physical and mental stamina. This is the Yang or ‘doing’ element of the retreat, whereas the studio session is about ‘being’ rather than ‘doing’. You will be invited to put aside any worries or responsibilities you may have and take time to simply be with yourself, in your body rather than your mind, relishing the peaceful energy of your surroundings.
This perfect balance of opposites—effort and ease, strength and surrender - will leave you feeling centred, revitalised, and the best possible version of yourself."
