Why choose a Funky Cactus Yoga retreat?
This retreat has nature and the Elements at its heart. Our theme is ‘Elements‘ so we will be incorporating Mandala yoga working with the Elements Earth, Air, Fire and Water. Surrounded by the beautiful Devonshire coast and the venue’s farm with wonderful animals and fresh produce.
Think; a restful night’s sleep in a geodesic dome, afternoons relaxing with a book, chatting with the other yogis, delicious food, grounding our feet into the earth, sea swimming, waking to herbal tea and fresh smoothies, Yoga in the morning and evening, meditation, self-enquiry, music, coastal walks and beautiful people to share it with.
My intention with my retreats is to welcome people into a healing and regenerative space. Take this time out of the rush of the world to do something for yourself. Not just self care, but a collective space of caring for one another. Connect with yourself, the natural world and each other. We will prioritise that connection with nature and getting a little bit more wild. Lets heal and liberate ourselves from work, stress or any other hardships we’re going through. Come home to yourself and come home to the earth.
“The trees are our lungs, the rivers our circulation, the air our breath and the earth our body.” – Deepak Chopra
“Adopt the pace of nature. Her secret is patience.’
Please note: All levels are welcome on the retreat, you do not need to be an experienced yogi however you will get the most out of the retreat if you have practiced yoga before.
Location: Hartland, Devon
Our venue is a beautiful Eco village of geodesic domes. A unique and inspiring space where sustainability comes first. A campsite with a difference. The beautiful basics are encouraged and life is just that little bit simpler. Who doesn’t need a little more simplicity?! A space that’s inspiring and completely unique: a solution to the busy modern world.
Our yoga space is both the great outdoors and a geodesic dome for when the weather’s not so great! Maybe we’ll even get a beach yoga session in!
An outdoor kitchen, communal dining, delicious plant-based, seasonal and nutritionally dense whole foods, smoothies and juices prepared by our wonderful private chef. Allergens can be catered for, please let me know when booking.
