Embrace Autumn day retreat

An empowering day retreat to help you harness the lingering fire of Summer and embrace a slower pace as we move into Autumn.

Our day will begin with a 2-hour yoga practice involving guided meditation and breathwork, a warming flow and restful yin. Moments of stillness & reflection will be woven into the practice, giving you the opportunity to explore the theme of embracing change or anything else that arises for you. This practice will be suitable for people with some or no experience of yoga, and options and variations will be given throughout the practice.

We’ll then enjoy a nourishing plant-based 3-course lunch (options will be sent 2 weeks prior to the retreat) in the Hilltop Bistro. This will give you an opportunity to reflect on & digest our practice, and to get to know our yoga community. There are lots of cosy seats and quiet places for you to explore though if you’re after some alone time.

The afternoon will continue with a delicious barefoot sensory walk through the meadow, followed by 3 glorious hours of Hilltop bathing. With wood-fired red cedar hot tubs, barrel saunas, plunge pools & views for days of the Cambridgeshire countryside – you’ll be able to choose how to spend the rest of your retreat day. We’ll end with a short closing circle to harness all of the energy and intentions that we’ve set for Autumn.

Who this is for

This day retreat is for people who are looking for a break from life, an opportunity to slow down & maybe a chance to explore and embrace positive change. I’m afraid this day isn’t suitable for wheelchair users. If you’re pregnant, please speak to your GP in advance of booking and also drop me a message.

What to bring

For yoga you’ll need to bring a yoga mat, cushion, blanket, water bottle, notebook & pen. Wear anything you feel comfortable moving in.

For the bathing you’ll need clean swimwear, sliders/flip-flops, towel, bathrobe (if you’d prefer to be covered between the changing rooms and hot tubs), and a change of clothes for when we finish.

You may also want to bring suitable footwear for the meadow walk & something to read.

Facilities & location

I’ve been visiting Paus for a few years now and it truly is an incredible place. All we can see from the Bistro and hot tubs are fields of green - it's beyond serene! The facilities are immaculate with Neal’s Yards products in each shower. The changing facilities also include hairdryers and lockers. And it's just an hour’s drive from MK - although if you don’t drive, let me know as there may be space with someone who has already booked. Checkout the PAUS website for more details - www.paus.life on the location.

Financial accessibility

I believe that yoga & restful practices should be accessible to all regardless of financial situation so I'm offering scaled pricing for this day retreat. The Supporter rate is for those who can afford to pay more (and therefore are able to support those in the lower priced options), then there's the Standard rate and a Community rate for those who need it. The Super Supporter rate pays for someone who would otherwise not be able to afford to attend. If you pay for this ticket, 1 free-of-charge ticket will then be made available on my website. If no one books using this, then you'll be refunded the cost of the ticket minus the normal support rate. Contact me if you'd like to explore a payment plan. Restful spaces must be accessible & equitable.
