In Detail:
Give yourself the gift of calm and tranquility this Christmas with a 4 night retreat at Bala Brook in the middle of Dartmoor, Devon. Designed to be peaceful, nurturing, rejuvenating and gentle, we will go with the hibernation energies of the winter.

Feel the relief of opening and releasing your body, heart and mind with hatha & yin yoga, pranayama, yoga philosophy talks, meditation and sound healing.

Get grounded by connecting with nature in this secluded Dartmoor setting through guided daily hikes and, for the brave amongst you, a dip in the site's babbling brook.
