Sunny Brow Farm’s retreat accommodations are beautifully renovated barn conversions. There are four barns renovated into self-contained barn cottages. Two cottages take up the upper and lower parts of a Lakeland bank barn, and two are smaller and separate.
All barns have bedroom/s, bathroom/s, a living space, a kitchen, and a dining area. The barns have been lovingly renovated to allow modern fittings and style to sit alongside the old features and optional log burners. Characterful yet with modern comfort, the barn accommodation will fulfill all your needs. They are all equipped with good Wi-Fi.
The yoga studio and massage rooms are nestled within the area of the barn conversions, and the studio overlooks woodlands and sheep pastures.
Itinerary of barns
- The Old Dairy: A ground-floor barn cottage with two private bedrooms - one double and one single - which share a bathroom and living space; this barn is also where retreat guests eat communally on a large oak table
- Sunny Brow Barn: One bedroom that can be twin or double ensuite, with private living space
- The Hayloft: An upper-floor barn cottage in a large renovated hay barn; two twin or double ensuite bedrooms that share a large open-plan living space
- Bracken Barn: One bedroom that can be twin or double ensuite, with private living space
Programa
All of the yoga medicine retreats include a blend of asana, pranayama, self-enquiry, and meditations inspired by the ancient texts of yoga, infused with empowering practices from Earth spiritual tradition, and the Celtic fire festivals to celebrate and sync with the season’s gifts.
Sunny Brow Farm’s close proximity and connection to nature beautifully hold each retreat. Suzy-Anne and her team create space within this holding, using Yin and Hatha yoga, breathwork, earth spiritual practice, loving self-enquiry, natural and elegant cuisine, ritual and ceremony, cacao, drum, sound, and movement.
Woven with careful thought from over 10 years’ experience of running retreats, the itinerary is full and ample, yet inclusive of personal space for your own adventures. Each yoga medicine session will become bespoke for the group gathered and can suit beginner or advanced practitioners.

The itinerary may vary very slightly for each yoga medicine retreat at different times of the year and will have differences within what is included in each session to allow for the gifts of each season.
Excursiones incluidas
The itinerary shows all the inclusive sessions on-site. Yoga medicine retreats do not offer any facilitated off-site excursions, but due to the location in the Lake District, many people choose to do their own hikes and / or wild swims. They can give recommendations for this if you wish for some.

Destino del retiro
Sunny Brow Farm is a beautifully renovated old Cumbrian farm, set within the hills and dales of the Lake District National Park. This allows easy access to the lakes, rivers, forests, villages, and beautiful hikes within the stunning South Lake District.
Sunny Brow Farm itself is nestled in the dale near Black Fell, with streams, sheep pasture land, and woodland directly on the doorstep. Being in such close proximity to nature is such a gift for a quiet and natural stay.
The nearest village is Hawkshead (five-minute drive), and the nearest small town is Ambleside (10-minute drive).

Alimentos
Sunny Brow Farm's food ethos is to nourish the body with natural, elegant, and really tasty plant-based cuisine. A love of seasonal, organic, homegrown, and wild foods from nature’s garden influences their menus.
Using inspiration from these elements, they consciously plan and prepare the menus for the retreats. The menus are always seasonal to allow for a deeper connection to nature’s gifts at each time of year.
Their approach is rooted in macrobiotic principles, emphasising gut health through healthy plant-based foods, whole grains, and optimum preparation methods like fermentation. They prioritise a rich variety of vegetables and predominantly unprocessed, plant-based ingredients.
Sunny Brow Farm maintains a fully gluten-free and refined sugar-free menu. While their focus is primarily on plant-based foods, they occasionally incorporate natural organic yoghurt and farm-fresh eggs. They pride themselves on catering for all food intolerances at no extra cost to the guest.
On retreat, everyone will enjoy meal times around a large oak table at their Old Dairy barn, a social space to enjoy like-minded fellow retreat guests, and the gifts of foods cooked, prepared, and served with love. They serve two large eclectic meals each day, plus a lighter breakfast, and afternoon tea snacks are also available.
