Woodland Yoga Retreat

Experience mindful movement, vegan friendly food and relief from hectic life and its impacts!

BOOK A WHOLE TEPEE OR YURT FOR YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS

It’s great to do yoga more often and not have to rush off to normal life straight after a class ...
Jeni’s retreat was a perfect week for a “re-set” with great yoga and food in a serene setting. Her enthusiasm and inspiration was infectious! Thank you!

I’ve loved this whole weekend. It’s been a delicious deep dive into nature, yoga, breath-work and connecting back with myself. I feel like I’ve had a “re-set” and like I’ve come “home” this weekend.
