Retreat in the UK & Europe

What does it mean to retreat?

The dictionary definition of “retreat” is “to move away from / to withdraw” A yoga retreat provides the perfect opportunity to withdraw/step away from everyday life and deepen a practice, whether that be body, mind, spirit or a bit of everything, which focuses on the self. We dont have to think about we are eating or doing, we have time to focus back on our SELF.

With 10 years of experience in retreats and 16 years of teaching under our belt, you can rest assured that you are in capable hands. Witnessing a group evolve and change throughout the weekend brings us immense joy.

Venues

The venues we have chosen are perfect for Yoga, Rest & Relaxation. Going on a retreat is a very special time completely dedicated to your self. Re-treating from the everyday hussle of life and reconnecting to our true nature.

 

Food

One of the highlights of a Yoga Retreat is the delightful vegetarian cuisine. There's no need to worry about cooking all weekend—what a luxury! The retreat provides all meals and refreshments throughout the weekend. We also accommodate Vegan, Gluten-Free, and Coeliac dietary requirements.

FAQs
Do I need to be flexible? Not at all Yoga does not require flexibility! Is experience necessary? No, but you should have attended some Yoga classes before and have a basic understanding of the practice. Beginners are welcome!

I'm worried about how much physical practice there is? There's no need to worry; our practice isn't limited to physical Yoga. We also engage in Meditation, Mantra, Restorative, and Yin Yoga. Everyone works to their own ability.

I don't know anyone! Yoga retreats are non-judgmental and extremely friendly. You'll make friends during the journey.

Will there be sufficient food? Absolutely! We enjoy a tasty and diverse vegetarian menu.

What will I learn? What you will learn is entirely up to you! If you choose to delve deeper, you will emerge with a more profound understanding of yourSELF.

Your teacher I've been teaching for 16 years and have been sharing Yoga Retreats for 10 years in the UK & Spain.I enjoy watching a group grow and transform over the course of the weekend. We get to delve deeper into our physical practice but also deeper into our mental patterns/grooves which help us gain more understanding of our lives and about ourselves.

The Yoga!

Spring Retreat | Spring into Spring

Using the Power of Spring Energy to create new intentions for the coming year!

Spring heralds a period of growth, embodying Yang energy and progress. By harnessing the power of Prana – the life force, intake, inspiration, propulsion, and forward momentum – we concentrate our energy on nurturing what we wish to flourish.

Consistently, we release what no longer serves us and clear away barriers in harmony with the shifting seasons. Viewing each season's transition as an opportunity for renewal, this continual release allows us to let go, thus fostering our growth and transformation.

Consider dedicating time to your SELF... an entire weekend devoted to elevating our energy and vibration through Yoga, Breathing, Mantra, and the healing sounds of the Gongs.

Can I join as a beginner?

I often hear concerns that there is so much yoga, but that's because there's a misconception that we're engaging in intense physical sessions, which is not the case.

Remember, Yoga is not solely a physical exercise; it encompasses Meditation, Mantra, and Breathing techniques as well.

The retreats are suitable for most individuals, including beginners. As long as you have some experience with Yoga, you are very welcome to join (been to at least 4 or classes). If you have any serious health concerns, please consult with me before making a booking.

Late Summer Yoga Retreat.
Join us on a 6 night Yoga Retreat that flows with the turning of the seasons.

The area | Natural and Rural Landscape

Altanure was born in this natural and rural landscape.

The retreat is located 5 km from Tavira, a charming little port town crossed by the Gilão River.

The space has natural and luminous atmosphere of well-being, it fills and expands the space, both inside and outside.

Palm leaf shutters, tables carved from local stone and traditional regional tiles – natural and exquisite décor can be found in all the spaces.

The environment of Altanure is marked by the natural beauty of the bucolic landscape of the Tavira region and its proximity to the Ria Formosa Nature Reserve. This unique ecosystem is intrinsically linked to the region and its biotope, with its lagoons forming a barrier beach with sandbanks and extensive beaches.

Behind the coast, the Barrocal is the Algarve scrubland that connects the coastal plain to the mountains, dotted with orange, almond, olive and carob trees. Further afield, the regional landscape gives way to the red earth of rounded hills, quiet villages and craft factories.

A £200 non-refundable deposit secures your place, with non-refundable stage payments. Full payment is due 10 weeks before the retreat begins.

We can offer monthly payments too (terms apply) once each payment is non-refundable.

Weekend Yoga Retreat in Suffolk cancelled

After using a beautiful venue in Suffolk for the past 10 years (the last 3 with a new owner), it’s been decided that it no longer aligns with the yoga ethos and we are no longer welcome there.

I’ve always tried to choose venues that reflect the deeper values of yoga, spaces that embody respect, integrity, and authentic people. Sadly, it’s becoming increasingly difficult in the UK, especially here in the East of England, to find places and people who share these qualities and can offer truly ethical, beautiful spaces for practice.

I’ve realised that I no longer wish to hire places with values that don’t reflect the true spirit of yoga. When the heart of yoga is generosity, humility, and respect, it feels wrong to support those driven by unrealistic expectations and an unethical manner.

Being treated poorly has left its mark, but I choose to move forward beyond others absurd expectations and beyond the noise. This experience has only deepened my resolve to live and teach yoga in its fullest sense, with truth, compassion, and integrity

My search will continue, though. And if I can’t find a suitable new venue, I’ll be opening up more retreat days at my own studio, a space where I can share not only my passion for yoga on the mat, but also explore the deeper teachings of the Yamas and Niyamas.

Its moments like this where I miss the wisdom and support of my Mum...
