New Year Yoga and Meditation Retreat with Liz Dillon.

This is a wonderful time of year to embrace reflection and intention for the coming months ahead. Letting go of what no longer serves us from the previous year and also cleansing from over indulgences potentially in the festive season. It is a time to reconnect with yourself, find time and space for yourself and set your intentions for 2023.

There will be meditation each morning followed by mindful energising yoga practises. In the afternoons we will focus more on restorative yoga practises and the evenings there will be Yoga Nidra.

The accomodation is at the beautiful centre of Eden Rise in Totnes, where we have been I think 15 times now! A sign of how much myself and the students love the space. It is a place where people often comment that they feel so welcomed and relaxed almost immediately on arrival. This is also supported by Charlotte’s amazing cooking and welcome cake!

Cost includes all yoga classes and accommodation and organic vegetarian food, much of which is grown locally.

Massages are extra and can be booked later.

Cost is £305 to include all accommodation, classes and gorgeous home cooked food x

Yoga and Meditation Retreat at Eden Rise -

These weekends are a wonderful way to take time for yourself, you will be cared for from the moment you arrive. All accommodation, food and yoga & meditation classes are included in the cost - £295 . all you need to pay extra is your travel and a massage if you choose to book one.

This is a wonderful time of year for a retreat, when our bodies, hearts and minds are calling us more inwards. It is also a chance to reflect on what we would like to take through into 2022 and what we would like to leave behind. We will also make space to vision what we would like to create in 2022. These retreats are a wonderful opportunity to take time for yourself and be a part of a warm welcoming community. You can take as much space for you as you like, there are communal areas but you can also go for walks, find somewhere to read a book, pop into the fabulous market town of Totnes or take a snooze. It’s all up to you!

Liz and Tania are very excited to invite you to their next shared retreat, a Women's Yoga Retreat at the beautiful Hunger Hill Yurts in Devon.  This will be a special retreat celebrating the Autumn Equinox and also reflecting on the feminine aspects of yoga and in our lives.

Liz and Tania will teach a combination of energising Hatha and Vinyasa Yoga in the mornings combined with therapeutic practises of Restorative Yoga and Yoga Nidra in the afternoons.  

It will be at the Autumn Equinox a special time in the year to look back at what we have achieved/experienced in the summer months and sow our seeds of intentions as we enter the darker more reflective months of the year.

This retreat will be from Friday 4pm until Monday at 11am to allow plenty of time for yoga, walking, adventures in the countryside, relaxing on the beach, getting cozy in a hammock with your favorite book, fires and storytelling under the stars.

The final yoga class finishes at 5pm on Sunday so those who need to leave on Sunday evening won't be missing out on teaching and those who wish to stay for the extra night to relax and perhaps head to the beach on Monday can. 

The cost is £285 and includes: 
Three nights accommodation in cosy 4 person yurts each with their own woodburner. Daily meditation, all yoga classes and workshops. Delicious homemade/homegrown organic vegetarian food...brunch...tea and evenings meals.

An outline of the weekend

Friday

The retreat begins at around 3pm on Friday and ends around 3pm on  Sunday – to allow time to get to Devon and back – often from London.

The first Yoga class is on Friday evening at 5pm. There will be Yoga Nidra – deep relaxation after dinner.  

Saturday

On Saturday morning there is meditation followed by Hatha Yoga class.  There is the option for a fresh juice in the morning followed by breakfast feast after the class.  

After the class there is free time where there are options for walks, visiting Totnes where there is often a Saturday market as well as many independent shops and cafes. You may prefer to have a massage or a sauna at Eden Rise or just do nothing and enjoy a leisurely lunch.

The next class starts at 5pm.  This class combines Hatha Yoga with Restorative Yoga. It is  followed by dinner and an evening activity – often another yoga nidra session is offered, sometimes a fire and singing outside. Some people choose to go to sleep as the process of slowing down can bring about a sense of how much rest our bodies need.  All activities are options.  

Sunday

On Sunday again we begin with meditation and Yoga practise followed by breakfast, free time, followed by a final yoga class 12.30 – 1.30 and lunch. Then there is a final chance for tea and cake before carriages home!!

Yoga offered

The Yoga is Hatha Yoga offering a balance of asanas – physical postures, pranayama – breath work and meditation. Classes are for mixed levels with options for all.  The classes will be strengthening, reenergising and nourishing with dynamic and restorative yoga sessions and you can follow your own rhythm. The classes are set amidst the Devon hills – looking across the horizon with amazing views from the yoga studio.

No previous experience is necessary.
