Winter Warmer Weekend Retreat
Yoga & Pilates with Annie Nicol
Join Annie and the Oru Space team for a cosy winter weekend away! This November long weekend retreat will be the perfect opportunity to wind down, rest, make new connections with other people and drop deeply into the wonderful practices of yoga and pilates.
Each morning will begin with a dynamic movement based practice, followed by meditation and the option for a sauna and cold plunge! Afterwards we’ll warm up with steaming mugs of tea, coffee or hot choc, and after breakfast there will be plenty of time for reading, relaxing, chatting, walking and exploring. After lunch you might choose to get a massage treatment from the onsite therapist, before the evening practice of gentle yin yoga. On Saturday night Miriam from the Oru Space team will be leading a soothing sound bath using quartz crystal singing bowls.
The retreat centre is based in beautiful North Devon, surrounded by rolling hills and near to stunning coast line and beaches. The perfect distance for a long weekend, but with the feeling of being totally far away from the hustle and bustle of the busy city!
All levels of experience will be catered for in the classes, but we do recommend a minimum of 6 months experience of yoga and pilates in order to get the most out of the retreat.
