Rest + Reawaken: Late Winter Yoga Day Retreat
Late winter can feel like a bit of an in-between time. The darker months are beginning to ease, but we may still feel the need for warmth, rest and a little more time before rushing into spring.
Join me at PAUS for a full day of yoga, nourishing food, outdoor bathing and deep relaxation. Set within the beautiful countryside near Cambridge, it’s a chance to step away from everyday life and give yourself a proper pause towards the end of winter.
We’ll begin with tea or coffee before moving into a warming 90-minute yoga practice. We’ll start slowly, build into a feel-good flow and then soften into longer-held stretches before finishing with time to rest. Different options will be offered throughout, so you can choose what feels right for your body.
After yoga, we’ll enjoy a delicious lunch together at the Hilltop Bistro, including a sharing platter, main course and homemade cake.
Directly after lunch, we’ll head outside for the barefoot sensory meadow trail. Walking across the different natural surfaces gives you a chance to notice the ground beneath your feet, breathe in the fresh air and experience the landscape in a completely different way.
The rest of the afternoon will be yours to enjoy the Hilltop bathing facilities. Feel the cool March air on your face as you sink into a wood-fired hot tub, warm up in the barrel sauna or, if you fancy it, take a dip in one of the cold tubs.
There will also be time to relax in the chill-out spaces, enjoy a drink, chat with others or simply sit back and take in the countryside views.
At the end of the day, we’ll gather indoors for a deeply relaxing sound bath led by Gabi from Journey Through Healing, bringing the retreat to a quiet and restful close.
The retreat is suitable for all levels. You don’t need to be experienced at yoga, and you’re very welcome to come on your own.
Food and drink include morning tea or coffee, lunch at the Hilltop Bistro and a refreshment during the bathing session, with a choice of prosecco, G&T or elderflower pressé. Additional drinks can be purchased from the Hilltop Bistro.
The yoga studio, hot tubs and lunch space will be reserved for our retreat group during the day. PAUS itself will remain open to other visitors.
