Just Be Luxury Wellbeing Escape

Indulge in yourself for 4 days.
To reset and recharge without any distractions.
To invest back into you and your own wellbeing.
A retreat designed for you to take time out just for yourself.

Your yoga retreat will be located in a luxury cottage, situated right in an area of national beauty within the UK; the High Weald. The cottage is beautifully decorated offering idyllic far reaching views across the East Sussex countryside. A perfect location for a wellbeing retreat.

Just imagine cosy and modern rooms with crisp linen, snug areas with real fireplaces providing plenty of light, sauna and hot-tub sessions overlooking the East Sussex countryside with horses walking on by, relaxing by the state of the art swimming pool and putting your feet up on the sun loungers, balmy spring evenings with cosy restorative yoga practices, beautifully designed and nourishing candlelit dinners with the BBQ and pizza oven going, specially curated workshops to enhance your wellbeing…

Outside you will find a private decking area where our morning and evening yoga practices will be held. If the temperature is a little cold in the evening, we will enjoy cosy restorative practices in the snug area with the fire blazing and candles burning.
Enjoy a mixture of classes and workshops over the weekend which will involve different types of yoga including vinyasa, restorative and yoga nidra. The movement practices will also be infused with mindfulness, Mind-Body-Stress-Reduction techniques (MBSR) and yummy aromatherapy in all savasanas.

No matter what room type you choose, all bedrooms are beautifully designed. Whether you choose the private Garden Studio with ensuite or a sharing room with a shared bathroom, you will get:

~ Towels
~ Hairdryers
~ Luxury toiletry amenities
~ Rain shower and/or bathtub
~ A modern bedroom overlooking the garden and/or pool

The retreat venue is surrounded by a large, peaceful garden which also has incredible views of the East Sussex countryside.

There are plenty of things to also do in your free time ~ Choose to take a 4 mile morning walk around the retreat venue amongst nature. Visit the stunning cliffs of Eastbourne beach. Visit the famous Ashdown Forest which inspired the book Winnie the Pooh or indulge in a beauty or massage treatment with our onsite therapist.

The retreat has been specially designed to enhance your wellbeing from the daily yoga practices, specially curated wellbeing workshops, the chosen private chef to the retreat venue.

This will be a perfect opportunity for you to take time out for yourself, whilst also leaving with knowledge and practical tools to take home with you to enhance your wellbeing in your day to day life.

THE PRACTICES:

My name is Olivia (from Olivia Annalise Yoga) and I am a qualified Yoga Teacher with over 10 years experience, a Retreat Host and a holistic health advocate.

I was introduced to Yoga by my Ballet Teacher when I was experiencing severe burnout from my previous job in car sales. Quickly noticing the benefits of the practice over the gym and other forms of movement I was regularly doing, I quickly became obsessed with yoga and used to go to around 5 classes per week!
To keep a longer story short, I now host regular wellbeing retreats for others (especially working professionals and Women) to take time out for themselves. The retreats focus on your wellbeing from a holistic perspective and will always include:

~ An on-site spa.
~ Luxury accommodation.
~ A welcome luxury gift box.
~ Surroundings amongst nature.
~ Nourishing, seasonal and organic food.
~ Specially curated yoga classes, mindfulness practices and wellbeing workshops tailored to all abilities.
~ Special retreat collaborations with holistic health brands exclusive to retreat attendees ~ Some past sponsors: Intelligent Change, Forage Botanicals, London Nootropics, Tea & Tonic, Daily Dose Juices.

I have been featured in OM Yoga Magazine and worked with some pretty cool companies including Microsoft Startup, Vet AI, Ombar Chocolate and Mindspace to name a few. I look forward to meeting you!

THE FOOD:

The food is an important part of your retreat and this is why your private chef has been carefully selected and chosen.
The food on this retreat will be nourishing, seasonally sourced and organic, where possible. It will also be gut healing and hormone balancing!

A past retreat attendee (who has been on many other yoga retreats in the past) said that the food she had on the retreat I did in June ‘23 was the best food she had ever had!

Meals will be tailored to all eating types including meat and fish eaters as well as vegans and vegetarians.

THE ITINERARY:

Day 1: On arrival, you will be welcomed with an immune-boosting mocktail before we begin our opening 'Rest & Restore' yoga practice. Afterward, we will have our welcome candlelit dinner followed by herbal teas and cacao drinks ready for a good night's sleep.

Day 2: Day 2 will involve 2 yoga practices ~ an energizing, morning Vinyasa practice and a restorative evening practice with cozy bolster cushions, blankets, and blocks.

Day 3: Enjoy an energizing morning practice, free time to explore the local area, and a special 90-minute 'Just Be' Wellbeing Workshop to help you find internal presence using yoga, journalling, mindfulness, and MBSR techniques. You may also choose to relax and get a massage in the comfort of your own room or to visit the beautiful Eastbourne beach nearby!

Day 4: Our last day will consist of a closing morning yoga practice, a nourishing brunch to support your journey home, and goodbyes & farewells!
