The People

Amazing location and wonderful walks straight from the property.

Lovely relaxing yoga sessions and sound bath.

Meeting and connecting with like minded & supportive women.

Gorgeous converted barn with wonderful views.

Well organised program, leaders and meals.

Flexible catering arrangements to meet individual needs.

Natasha our yoga teacher and host was great. She looked after our every need and Hayley North made sure we were never hungry with her delicious nutritious food. The hiking with Rachel was great too.

All of it! The yoga was amazing! The hikes, the fabulous location, the group were good fun, the food was lovely, and it was definitely good value for money.

Prachtige accommodatie in de natuur, netjes en ruim opgezet. Het programma was heel mooi in balans, met meer flow in de ochtend, in de ochtend/middag een wandeling en de namiddag een rustige les. Het eten was volledig vegan en ontzettend lekker. Alles op deze retraite werd met zorg, liefde en aandacht uitgevoerd. Ik voelde me helemaal verzorgd en in goede handen.

Everything was excellent so all good.

BTW Susie the Yoga instructor is not on your list. Her Yoga was varied, interesting, sometimes challenging, but always appropriate. I always felt connected with what was happening and was delighted to lead the Omms at the end of each practice.

Mel the cook was also excellent and is also not on your list. Her meals were very varied and full of flavour. Mel was superb at catering for individuals' needs such as my non dairy diet.

They were ably assisted by Rachel who was at all times very helpful.

This is a beautiful place, and we were lucky with the weather on this occasion, and I should like to return in future.

The yoga teaching and the way that Helen managed the retreat from start to finish was absolutely amazing. She took great individual care of every single person that came on the retreat - from adjustments during the yoga, to organising picnics and ensuring that everyone enjoyed the activities at their own pace.

This retreat was superb! The instructor, Helen, was excellent. She offered a variety of different options and styles of yoga. Her knowledge is evident and really added to my practice. In addition, she is extremely kind, good hearted and a joy to be around. She made me feel, and I think I can speak for everyone else at the retreat, welcomed, accepted and part of a community. The food was wonderful, thank you Hailey! I have food allergies and she accommodated all of them and there was no compromise in taste. The quality of the food was first class. The manor is also beautiful. You can walk the grounds and really relax and be with nature. The activities were also fun and I find they added to the retreat experience. Being in and by the sea is always good for my health. I will recommend this retreat to family and friends.

This weekend retreat was fabulous in every way. Helen and Susie were wonderful teachers, inclusive of all of our different experience levels and such warm and kind people. Hayley’s food was delicious, varied and nutritious. The house and gardens were beautiful. And the activities were fun and got us moving during the day. I feel totally relaxed and ready to take on life after this weekend. Thank you to all of you!

Patient instructions. Surrounding absolutely gorgeous. Joining if like minded people.

The house is truly magnificent, wonderful views and cosy sofas to lounge on. The yoga was plentiful and Louise shows many adaptations. Louise is very knowledgeable and talks through the yoga to make it connect with our breath and emotions. Added bonus was the hikes which were guided and perfect for all abilities. Bedrooms and bathrooms were comfortable. Lovely, friendly people all over. I would definitely return.

This was an amazing retreat, big thanks to Helen for the inspiring yoga and meditation classes, to Rachel for her vegetarian cooking wonders and Richard for the hiking adventure! I loved every bit of it, the time truly flowed in mindfulness, nature and group's shared experience and stories.

INSTRUCTOR: Helen Turrell.

The venue, the food, yoga/hiking and the very warm welcome on arrival.

The yoga was very good with plenty of options for the postures given. I liked the style/pace of the yoga sessions. Helen is an excellent teacher, always positive and enthusiastic with so much energy! She was able to teach all levels with ease, from the beginner to the more advanced. Everybody could benefit in an extremely safe and friendly environment. The morning and evening differed (energetic to more restful Yin/Nidra) to take account of the 2 hikes. As basically a previous 'non-hiker' I found I really enjoyed them. Our guide was excellent and everyone in the group was positive and helpful. Rachel our Chef made the most delicious vegan meals! Overall, everything was great and I will definitely be on another retreat next year!

Lovely location, great yoga classes and amazing vegetarian food combined with wonderful hikes

The retreat was very well organised, the facilities were really comfortable and everyone involved was welcoming and helpful. Hayley North’s food was excellent and so full of flavour- I am not a vegetarian but I loved it and I am going to have make some of her recipes at home. I cannot eat wheat but that did not faze Hayley at all and most of the food she made for everyone -including a chocolate cake on the last evening - I could eat too, which was lovely. Nikki is a really good yoga teacher and I enjoyed the sessions going at my own pace and she gave options if a particular pose did not work for me. The two of them were a really super team and the walking guides, Richard and Rachel were lovely too.

Finally, the group I was with were of differing ages and nationalities but we all got along really well and it was a joy to share the experience with such great people.

The overall experience was really nice. Our host and yoga instructor Helen Moss ( she is not in the selection list above for some reason) was great and made us feel at home. The yoga sessions were really nice, energizing and relaxing in the evening. Food was excellent thanks to amazing chef Carla; very nutritious and fully vegan. The walks were in a dream scenery, nature and weather was so nice, Rachel was a great guide.

Yoga was excellent with clear instructions, the food was very tasty and comforting. We loved the area and the hiking guide Sarah was also excellent

Great food, yoga well paced, clear instructions

Great bunch of people. Lovely accommodation with comfortable beds. Well structured activities with times to rest and relax. Yoga very good with Emily. Walks with guides also great. Food fab too. I don't have anything negative to say. All great.

Guided walks

Harriet is an amazing yoga teacher and helped me to better my practice in a way I've never experienced before. Her meditation made me feel the most relaxed I have ever felt, with lots of more challenging yoga work in-between.

The chef we had made the most incredible vegan food and was careful to accommodate for others on the trip with allergies. I never knew food as healthy as that provided could taste so divine.

There was plenty of exploring to do out on the walks and in the little town nearby. The canoeing trip was an extra adventure to cherish.

Truly an amazing experience all round that I will never forget.

Very relaxed itinery mixing walking with yoga. Charlotte was a very knowledgeable yoga instructor and the practices were varied. Lovely location in the Peak district.

The venue was lovely, with a very high standard of presentation throughout. The yoga teacher (Felicity) was excellent in every respect - particularly in the way she communicated so effectively in class. I also felt the content & balance of the sessions was spot on - more demanding in the morning & less strenuous sessions in the evening.

The food prepared by Chloe was consistently of the highest standard & enjoyed by all of the group.

I’d also like to say how much we all appreciated Richard & Rachel’s guided walks on two of the days. They were enthusiastic, interesting to talk to and very good company.

The venue and setting were ideal - but what made the retreat was the instructor, Harriet, both on and off the mat

Everything was very well organised. The Yoga was relaxing. The vegan food was absolutely delicious. The grounds were beautiful. The accommodation of one of the outside wooden huts was comfy and clean. I enjoyed the whole experience.

I loved everything about the weekend - the yoga teaching, the food, the guests, the house/accommodation, the yoga barn, the surroundings, the timetable, the space to be. Came home feeling super chilled and inspired. Thank you.

I wasn’t sure what to expect as this was my first yoga retreat but it was just what I needed when I needed it, a moment to catch a breath and reset... The venue was a grand affair, Alicia and her family were so welcoming, my fellow retreat buddies were a great bunch and the food was glorious, cannot recommend enough, thank you!

It was in a lovely setting and the accommodation was comfortable, warm, and beautiful. The yoga instructor was patient during class and attentive outside of class to help us feel welcome and comfortable. The hikes were fab and right out of the front door, and you made a great choice of hiking instructor!

Instructor was very insightful and open, leading diverse sessions with new positions I've not done before, making it very interesting. All the staff - admin, chef, yoga - were so lovely and made everyone feel at home. Who knew vegan food and vegan cake could be so delicious? The walks were also fantastic, and having a "free" day to choose your own activity was great - canoeing the river Wye is a must! I really enjoyed the retreat.

I didn’t just ‘like’ this retreat - I absolutely loved it.

The venue was amazing, the location breathtaking, Felicity was engaging and so helpful whilst also being part of the group, Hayley (our cook) did amazing food and I was never hungry.

Our group was amazing - we had never met but the chemistry was immediate, continuous laughter and chat.

Felicity was amazing, as a total newbie I was totally at ease, supported, encouraged and kept up with everything. Hayley’s food was incredible, we were sustained with an amazing vegetarian diet which never left us hungry despite all the yoga and hiking. The venue was gorgeous, scenery enhanced the whole experience, but the bonding of the group took it all to another level.

Energising yoga to start each day, restorative to finish. Delicious healthy beautifully presented food from Naphia. All in a peaceful licahion. Forsging and hiking sessions led by experts in their fields.

The yoga sessions, food, programme of events, venue and group of people were all wonderful - couldn't have asked for anything better (apart from perhaps the weather, which was a bit chilly at times!). Loved the walks, outdoor pool, fire pit and the accommodation was very good too.

I loved everything about this retreat! This was my first yoga retreat so I didn’t know exactly what to expect but it went well beyond what was expected and was absolutely amazing. The yoga, the food, and all the activities were fantastic. Jumping from the cliff jump was a great highlight to the trip and totally exhilarating. I had such an amazing and relaxing time!

Good yoga instruction no pressure. Very relaxing. Food excellent.

I very much needed a change of scene and to restore my energy levels and calm after the lockdown and this retreat was perfect. The cleanliness and social distancing was handled brilliantly without being or feeling alienating at all. The food was out of this world (I have requested recepies!) and the teaching was wonderful - I'm not that advanced and was able to do the entire practice and also learn something new. There were also options for those who were more advanced, so everyone was happy. The estate was beautiful and the walks, both silent and open, were great. I can honestly say that this was beyond my expectation and I will definitely come back to AdventureYogi again.

The quality of the teaching was excellent. My teacher's name was Nafia (not on your list)

It was efficient without being corporate.

It felt like an authentic experience.

The yoga was amazing!

Came back from the retreat feeling fresh and invigorated! My aches and pains were gone and I felt inches taller! Amy is a wonder instructor and I loved her yoga style. Will definitely be joining another retreat with Amy:-)

I loved the yoga with Amy. She's a brilliant teacher and a lovely person. All very chilled and encouraging.

The food was good. Yoki is a great cook and everything was wholesome, tasty and plentiful.

The location was good for me - an easy drive from Winchester up the A34 and A41.

The house was very nice, albeit a bit quirky. My room was lovely - very spacious and quiet and comfortable.

The amount of free time was just right.

I loved my two massages - a full body one with Phillippa and a facial one with Amy.

The people on the retreat were really nice and we all got on well together. Twelve of us.

I loved this retreat. We had phenomenal weather and being up in the mountains was divine. It was a great group of women on this retreat both instructors and participants which I think helped create an amazing experience. The food was out of this world. Hikes combined with the yoga was just what my soul needed . I would definitely recommend a yoga retreat to any of my friends.

The yoga sessions differing in the morning and evening. More fast paced at the start of the day, yin later on.

Food was delish!

The location and accommodation was superb, the food was excellent and Rebecca made the weekend special with her determination to meet everyone’s needs and her passion for Yoga

It was my first yoga retreat and I hope the next one will be as good!

The chalet was lovely and the yoga sessions were really well planned. Louise is a great teacher, I have learned a lot and really relaxed.

We went on a few hikes and had some free time to rest, read and chill in the hot tub or sauna. Food was very tasty and it gave me good inspiration to cook vegan dishes more often!

Not knowing what to expect as this was my first yoga retreat I really loved the experience the setting and the way everything was organised. It was a very positive relaxing experience with friendly people and wonderful tutor.

Yoga practice was excellent, food was wonderful, thank you for being so accommodating!

Yoga and mediation amazing

Food amazing

The yoga classes were very enjoyable and there was a good balance of planned activities and free time. The food was really good, too.

Yoga by Amy was great

Charlotte was an amazing chef. She manged to make the food both beautiful to look at and really delicious. No mean feat considering it was a strict detox diet!!

She was also incredibly helpful in answering all my "how did you make this taste so good?" questions. I've already recreated the green smoothie (mine still needs work!) and the smokey roasted beetroot (yummy and so simple!) Kimchi is next on my list. I've definitely changed the way I'm cooking and eating since I got back home.

Rebecca was a really great yoga teacher with so much experience in all different styles of yoga. Every lesson was different and interesting. I now practise the breathing exercises she taught us on a daily basis. She managed to make yoga very approachable and human.

My fellow course goers were also lovely!

Altogether a really great weekend. Thank you so much to everyone. I've managed to bring my zen peace of mind back into my daily life which is incredibly strengthening.

Loved the balance of great yoga with Wenche, lovely relax around the pool, great fun around the bar (!), fabulous trips out, and great companionship and spirit of the group.
