Weekend retreat at Tiptoe Lodge
"Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished" Lao Tzu
Our autumnal retreats are all about slowing down - taking a break from the busy-ness of the day to day and realigning with the natural rhythms of this season.
Retreats at Tiptoe are a re-rooting. Time to slow down to an autumnal pace - slow enough to reconnect with the rhythms of this season, and remember that we too are beings of nature.

LOCATION AND VENUE
Tiptoe Lodge is situated in the New Forest National Park where wild ponies roam free, just five miles from the sea. Annabel and Angus, our hosts at Tiptoe Lodge, built the Yoga Studio from a variety of reclaimed products. It has the feel and calming atmosphere of a traditional garden summerhouse, and large windows look out onto an ancient orchard and field beyond.
ACCOMMODATION
Artist Annabel has a talent for decoration which she has used to create comfortable and elegant rooms.
Accommodation is on a shared basis, but single accommodation can be arranged.
2 bathrooms and 3 toilets are shared, along with an extra shower in the main house (plus a shower and loo in
the yoga studio).
YOGA
Yoga sessions are adapted for all levels of experience. My classes are always inclusive, whether you have practiced for years or it is your first ever yoga experience. We'll practice energising morning yoga sessions with guided meditation, restorative afternoon classes after a peaceful day immersed in the beautiful surroundings of the New Forest, and guided yoga nidras to close our day.
No previous experience is necessary, the only goal of our yoga sessions is to connect body, mind and spirit in a blissful union, strengthening and soothing the body, calming the mind, and nurturing the spirit, what I like to call finding our yoga bliss.

6 wholesome and delicious vegetarian meals are included, form Friday evening to Sunday lunchtime.
