Start Your Year Differently
January can feel heavy.
The warmth of the holidays fades, the days are short and dark, and suddenly you're back in work mode - trying to be productive, healthy, motivated… when really, you're just tired.
The pressure to “start the year strong” can be overwhelming - new goals, new routines, new everything. But what if you started with softness instead?
This retreat is a chance to do things differently.
To give yourself what you actually need: space.
Three nourishing nights dedicated to movement, breath, stillness, and being held in the grounding power of nature.
Held at the beautiful Whalley Farm in the Cotswolds, this is an opportunity to reset your nervous system, reconnect with your body, and start the year from a place of intention - not pressure.
You’ll be guided through:
3 daily sessions including breath-led yoga, self-enquiry workshops, and immersive sound healing
3 nourishing meals a day, freshly made with seasonal produce
Time to rest, reflect, and enjoy the indoor heated swimming pool, peaceful countryside, and relax by the open wood-fires.
Come solo, with a friend, or bring your partner.
Start 2026 with presence, softness, and a more profound sense of connection.
3 nights luxury accommodation at Whalley Farm.
Morning breath-led Vinyasa Flow classes with Nicola .
Afternoon inversion & technique workshops with Nicola and Adam - explore strength, alignment, and playful upside-down time (suitable for all levels).
