Oru Yoga & Pilates Weekend Retreat

Join Lottie, Jess and the Oru team for a blissful weekend escape at Holwell Holistic Retreat in Devon.

A serene farmstead steeped in history and character, this beautiful spot is set within 5 acres of organic land surrounded by stunning countryside. The property is located within 10 miles of local beaches including Woolacombe beach and Lee Bay. The site has woodlands and orchards for you to walk around, and an organic vegetable garden where food is grown for your daily meals!

Indulge in a weekend of yoga, pilates, delicious plant based food, nature walks, beaches, sunshine and deep rest and relaxation. This weekend will provide the opportunity to escape the hustle and bustle of London, and will be the loveliest end to your summer.

Come alone or with friends, we’ll come together in community and leave with lovely connections and friendships!

The site has woodlands and orchards for you to walk around, and an organic vegetable garden where food is grown for your daily meals!

  • We recommend either driving (which takes around 3 hours 30 minutes) or getting the train from London to Exeter St Davids, and then getting the train to Barnstaple. From Barnstaple it’s a short taxi ride to the retreat, and we can help you organise shared taxis with other retreat guests.

    Arrival time is 3pm on Friday 15th, and departure time is by 1.30pm on Monday 18th.

    We recommend booking trains in advance!

 

Teachers

  • Lottie is a Level 3 Mat Pilates Instructor, looking to help people strengthen and mobilize their bodies, specifically focusing on back care and strength through the spine. After suffering a lower back injury in 2016 that took over her life for two years, she struggled both physically and mentally and felt like no one had any answers or 'cure'. After finally finding a fantastic physiotherapy clinic (ESPH) and starting Pilates, it truly changed her life and healed her, both back and mind. Her aim is to encourage people of all abilities and ages to start Pilates and get to know their own bodies whilst strengthening and mobilizing the spine. Lottie teaches 4 sessions every week at Oru, including our community of postnatal pilates parents!

  • Like many, Jess was first hooked on the strong, sweaty practice, after some time she soon discovered layers so much deeper than the physical, and continues to relay this in class, going beyond the physical. Often we can get too consumed with what everything looks like, but ultimately how does it all feel? Where’s the breath, the focus? Practicing with presence over performance. Jess teaches 4 sessions every week at Oru, and loves guiding creative, fluid flows that are both challenging and peaceful.
