"An absolutely amazing introduction into yoga retreats"
This is the first yoga retreat I have been on. I found the whole experience amazing and it has definitely given me the bug! The location was fab, the food was INCREDIBLE, I loved the yoga - it was pitched just right for my novice level and Victoria was very concerned to check we were all OK with everything. The instructor and group were all really friendly and lovely!

This has been an amazing retreat!!! Victoria and the team have organised the weekend superbly, with the right blend of activities and a huge dollop of smiles and genuine goodwill. Special thanks also go to the cosmic chef Clarissa: a real Astrophysicist(!!) who prepares food out of this world!!! I loved every bit of it, all the people there and a lovely setting. I cannot wait for the next retreat organised by Victoria (and have some more of Adam’s cacao). A treat for the body, mind and the taste buds. Thank you so much!!

"A really enjoyable, relaxing and fun Yoga retreat!!"
The accommodation was clean, comfortable and cosy, although large enough to find quiet time to yourself! The Yoga was really good, delivered with clear experience and love!! The food was amazing, tasty and creative. Hard to find fault!! Will definitely be looking to return next year.

"Wonderful Yoga Retreat with Victoria "
Clarissa is a fabulous vegan chef and Victoria and her family were wonderful. Victoria organised great yoga and meditation classes. Can’t wait to attend another retreat that she organised. Both myself and my daughter loved the whole experience.

"Perfect restorative weekend"
I highly recommend Victoria’s yoga retreats to all. After a wet and windy journey Victoria was so warm and welcoming upon arrival. Shown our room and given time to get changed before the start of our first yin yoga session. The yoga nidra session before bed was so welcome and helped me prepare for a good nights sleep. Ashtanga yoga was great, sweaty and energising, Victoria ensured there were options for all abilities. Thoroughly enjoyed both yin sessions and I am inspired to include some daily poses pre bedtime. Totnes is a lovely area of Devon, enjoyed walk around local fields and stream, very picturesque. A lovely weekend, would most definitely attend Victoria’s future retreat weekend. Clarissa’s food was wonderful and exceeded all my expectations for food provision. Thank you to all involved In making this weekend wonderful.

"Yoga Retreat you will not forget"
The whole experience from the start to the end, packed full of surprises, all helping the body through the food to the mind and body: Victoria was a great instructor, she explained the reason and the benifit of all the yoga asanas, blessed to have met her, plus the lovely Chocolate made by Adam her Fiancé, The Nidra yoga was something else, plus the lovey sound healing send you off to different thoughts, My First Kirtan lovely experience all our sounds coming as one. Great place not far to town and the torr entrance just outside the front gate. Weekend never to forget.

"Invigorating yoga retreat"
This retreat was varied and well balanced with an opportunity to try out different yoga practices that we’re adaptable to different levels. ( Bikram,Yin,Nidra,Pranayama, meditation)
Victoria -the instructor was a skilled teacher/facilitator, knowledgable and also good fun. As a group we felt welcomed into the Ashram community where the retreat was being held and had an opportunity to participate in Kirtan and sound therapy.
This was a very special weekend spent with a wonderful group of people.
