Full Day Yoga Retreat in Tonbridge

Beginners welcome, all levels.

This retreat is for you if you feel depleted, stressed, or stuck in winter inertia, and need to recharge, restore, and reconnect. Taking a full day to pause in a busy schedule allows your body to recover, your nervous system to reset, and your mind to find calm.

When we become too busy, the body becomes tense and the mind anxious. Thomas Merton explained it this way:
"The rush and pressure of modern life are perhaps the most common form of contemporary violence. To allow oneself to be carried away by a multitude of conflicting concerns, to surrender to too many projects, to want to help everyone and everything is to succumb to the violence of our times."

This retreat offers space to nurture your body, mind, and spirit. Expect slow yoga movements, Qigong, music, chimes, breathwork, deep relaxation with Yoga Nidra, and opportunities for mindful reflection and creative expression.

What this full-day retreat includes

• Yoga & Qigong Flow
  A blend of gentle yoga and Qigong movements, inspired by the seasons and designed to unlock energy, release tension, and restore balance. We work with the meridians (energy lines) to support immunity, mobility, and emotional balance.

• Breathwork, Meditation & Mindful Movement
  Gentle, guided breathing practices to energise, calm, and harmonise your nervous system.

• Yin Yoga
  Long-held poses to stretch deeply, improve flexibility, release blocked energy, and support rest.

• Yoga Nidra & Restorative Practices
  Deeply restorative guided meditation and relaxation. Lie comfortably, tune inward, and let your body and mind fully replenish. Sound healing enhances the experience.

• Creative Reflection: Craft Activity

  Engage in a mindful, creative session to set intentions for the year, nurture self-kindness, and reflect on your personal goals.

• Lunch & Cakes
  Vegan & gluten free lunch is included, plus cakes and refreshments throughout the day to keep your energy flowing.

• Mindful Walk

  A gentle, restorative walk outside after lunch. Choose silence for a calming experience or enjoy light conversation with friends while connecting with nature.

• Free Craniosacral Therapy
  Enjoy a 30-minute Craniosacral Therapy session to support your nervous system, release tension, and restore balance. This gentle therapy is suitable for all participants. Limited slots are available, released gradually in our promotions.
