I will be holding a weekend yoga retreat at the lovely New House Farm Country Retreat, Sheepstreet Lane, Etchingham, East Sussex, TN19 7AY. You can have a look at their website here. It will run from Friday 17 November to Sunday 19 November 2023.
New House Farm is around an 80 to 90 minute drive from Raynes Park, London, SW20. If you are driving, please let me know if you are happy to give a lift to other people. There are direct trains to Etchingham station from Charing Cross, Waterloo East and London Bridge. Etchingham is about 1 1/2 miles from New House Farm. Depending on when you arrive, I may be able to pick you up from the station.
The 12 acre Farm is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with private walks along the banks of the river Rother and surrounding woodlands and meadows (bring wellies or good walking boots!). There is a giant hot tub with panoramic views. Unfortunately the pool will be closed due to the time of year. There is unlimited high speed wifi.
We will be staying in the Grade II listed Farmhouse (with a large kitchen/dining area and 2 lounges) and expanding into the retreat's lodges once the farmhouse is full. Nearly all the bedrooms are ensuite. We will be practising yoga in the Long Barn (except if the weather is really nice, when we can practise on the outdoor yoga
platform).
The yoga classes will be suitable for all levels. I will give demonstrations, verbal explanations and, if needed, modifications. If you’re not sure about something, it’s fine to ask. If you have them, please bring your own mat and yoga props. If you don't have them, please let me know and I will bring some for you to use. If you haven't practised yoga with me, I will send you a health form and please tell me if you have any injuries or medical conditions.
