A long-weekend retreat in the picturesque UK countryside. We stayed at luxury holiday cottages in Brinkburn, enveloped by woodland and the river, enjoying daily forest walks and a day trip to the beach overlooking the Northern sea. This retreat combined daily yoga with somatic work, meditation, visualisation and breathwork, as well as gourmet vegetarian cuisine, sound bath practice and massage therapy. The Brinkburn estate’s history and grounds date back to 500 BC.
