🕯 Retreat into Rest 2026: Fri 30th Jan ~ Sun 1st Feb 2026
North Shropshire, UK 🕯 Residential 3D2N Yoga Retreat


Start your year feeling truly rested, nurtured + grounded and see how this overflows positively into every facet of your life including work, relationships, creativity, contentment...
 
Carving time out to reconnect with yourself can be difficult at this time of year, but exactly what you're craving after the fullness of the holiday period. Join us in a charming converted barn tucked away in gorgeous north Shropshire for some serious down time + space in your schedule to relax and re-calibrate. 

A much loved annual residential retreat now in it's third year, there is a focus on slowing down + living harmoniously with the seasons. It's a joy to share that several participants have found this experience  
life changing for them and return year after year because of the benefits they've experienced. This is more than something to look forward to in the coldest and darkest part of the year ~ it can be the spark to a flame that can burn bright and guide you for the months ahead

Kind words from previous Retreat into Rest participants

"I’m so incredibly proud of the work that I’ve done over the last year (since the first retreat), giving myself space to rest, and ultimately recover, and I’m so incredibly grateful to you, Marie, for facilitating the experience that made me realise that rest is not only productive but it is vital for us to be the best version of ourselves - for us and those around us. I’m going to keep on building what I’ve started, and I’m so grateful you helped me start on this journey."

✨ FAQS ✨

✨ I haven't been practicing yoga for very long, can I join?

Yes ~ whether you've just started your yoga journey or are a seasoned practitioner you are welcome. There is an emphasis during this retreat on slower and more gentle movement, making it perhaps even more accessible for those newer to yoga.

✨ Do I need to come with someone?
No! Often people join retreats solo and don't know any of the other participants, but end up meeting a wonderful new bunch of friends. The welcome circle is a great chance to meet everyone and there'll be time to connect over the weekend. Feel free to come with pals, family, loved ones or on your own ~ you are very welcome.

✨How many people will there be?
A max of 9 guests plus the host/facilitator and the caterer. It is open to all genders. 

✨ What should I bring?
Yoga mats will be provided but you are encouraged to bring your own for extra padding. Please BYO props if you have them including blocks, belts, blankets, bolsters (or cushions) + eye pillows if you have them - if there is something you don't have let us know and we will try to arrange this for you.

Please bring comfy warm yoga clothes to move in, clothes for outdoor walks (inc walking boots if you have them + waterproofs), a water bottle, journal + pen, any specific snack extras, toiletries and anything else to make yourself comfy. 

✨ What is the main emphasis of the practices we'll be exploring?
REST! The main focus of the practices will be exploring mind, body and breath connection and our sense of home within ourselves through slow, gentle, nourishing movement. We will practice Yin & Yoga Nidra meditation in the evenings and slow, gentle mindful movement, meditation and breath work in the morning. The workshops will cover a range of complementary topics.

✨ Who will be facilitating the sessions?
Marie will be your host and guide for the weekend. She has nearly a decade's experience teaching yoga, and has been sharing residential retreats within the UK and beyond for the last 4 years. She weaves in a love of movement, sound, curiosity and humour into all she does, embodies the essence of cyclical living + being and adores creating containers like this for you to truly rest, recalibrate, reflect and grow.


✨ Do I have to attend everything on the itinerary?
No ~ you are welcome to attend as much or as little as you want to. There is ample free time scheduled around activities so that we can rest and integrate, but everyone is welcome to adjust it to their own rhythm.

Is there anyone that the retreat is NOT suitable for?
Unfortunately the retreat will not be suitable for anyone under 16, who is pregnant or has given birth in the last six weeks. If you are unsure whether you can attend the retreat because of a medical condition please consult your healthcare provider for advice before booking.

✨ What happens in the event I can no longer come?
Your deposit of £150 is non refundable. If you cancel before 20th December your balance will be refunded, if it is after this point you will only be offered a refund if we can fill your space.
