The completely relaxing atmosphere and the welcome approach by the organisers was a perfect antidote to recent events both personal and in the wider world. The vegan menu was outstanding, very inventive and inspiring. The yoga classes were well paced, the country walk refreshing (especially walking for a while in silence), and the workshop great fun. Thank you so much for a wonderful weekend!

All the Chillout team were great, as were the therapists. The setting was one mile from Arundel and a lovely walk into the town. People on the retreat were very friendly and there was a good atmosphere. The rooms were fine, but I found my bed uncomfortable.

The yoga/yogalates and meditation were just what I needed and I enjoyed them all. It was lovely to be amongst like minded people.

Peace

Calmness, friendliness, and family feel. We definitely left the retreat chilled out. Food was amazing and healthy . Highly recommend.

Yoga outside on the grass was an absolute treat with the warm air and sounds of nature all around. Partner yoga on Saturday was a lovely surprise and hugely effective at helping go further with my asanas. The food was amazing - tasty and super healthy.

The relaxed atmosphere, yoga that was at a gentle level and fabulous food by Lucy

Beautiful place, wonderful food, yoga classes that left me feeling so zenned out, marvellous massage, great atmosphere, really interesting guided walk. I think a lot of it comes from being a genuine family enterprise by people who really care. I am honestly not being paid to be this gushing!!!

The yin gentleness of the experience and the dedication of the team.

The choice of the accommodation included the reading material and relaxation space as well as the refectory dinner table.

The yoga/ lates sessions were gentle and chakra balancing, and the meditations calming to the nervous system. We were privileged to enjoy the sunshine sessions too.

I enjoyed the walk with its silent meditation, the nutritional talk and the introduction to aromatherapy

Really nice people

The Chillout Retreat at Gayles was a wonderful experience. Beautiful place, amazing yoga and mindfulness teachers, healthy food, astonishing landscapes, and great atmosphere. During this retreat I had the chance to meet inspiring people. This experience boosted my motivation and willpower: since then, I have practiced yoga every morning.

Teaching, venue, food, the people......just amazing....restful, restorative, fun, well balanced days with free time, classes, activities, optional treatments. Outstanding retreat. Nat and Becks are truly committed to their teachings with a genuine love for what they do.....there was a lovely sense of community, caring and unity.

I loved how Natalie kept reminding us about breathing and posture, she is a wonderful teacher.

the location, the instructors, the classes, everything

The flow of the chill out. The beautiful inspirational landscape , and the peace to find our own levels surrounded by beautiful like minded loving souls. It was inspirational.

This was the best decision I’ve made in about ten years. Nat is a fantastic teacher and each class was different enough to keep it interesting, whilst also allowing us to see our progress with various sequences. I really felt supported and encouraged to try things I didn’t think I could do, without feeling like I was being pushed too far, or doing anything I didn’t want to do.

Becs was also the best ‘Remindfulness coach’ and meditation guide - I’d never done this before and her personal, kind, and relaxed way of guiding us meant I forgot my cynicism without even realising.

The food at Gayles was phenomenal, as was the scenery.

I loved the workshops and walks and I’ve left feeling like I’ve met an incredible bunch of inspiring people.

On arrival a very warm and friendly welcome from the instructors and all the way through to the end. Lovely girls :-)

The yoga practises was better than any other I’ve known.

A very warm friendly group to spend time with..

Food and location amazing with stunning views.. A lovely room with a relaxed feel overlooking the lake and pool..

feeling happier relaxed and revitalised..

I will definitely be booking again...

Really relaxing way to unwind while gaining further yoga experience. Friendly, relaxed set up. Beautiful location and spa. Perfect!

The location was stunning....The classes were equally good for my novice husband and also myself - even though we have different yoga experience.

The instructors were knowledgeable and welcoming.

I feel serene and happy and about 5 years younger !

Highly recommended - we aim to come again!

Alles war bestens organisiert und ist nur zu empfehlen !!!

Die kompetente Yogalehrerin, das fantastische Essen, die wunderschöne Finca
