I am very happy to have found a wonderful new venue for my Autumn retreat. Immersed in beautiful countryside, Purusha offers ethical, eco- friendly accommodation with a real sense of luxury. 

The Yoga

Our weekend begins at 4pm on Friday with a welcoming yoga session in the wonderful Kula Dome. Throughout the course of the weekend we will explore what foundation means to you, where and how you might source your stability and groundedness, and use this to experience a greater sense of freedom in your life. Yoga, somatic movement, breathwork, meditation and nidra, dance, and art play will be spread throughout the weekend.

Plenty to do but also, space and time to simply enjoy being. In your spare time …. fire up your private hot tub, wander in nature, visit the Tea Hut or get cosy by the wood burner and simply chill out!

My yoga is informed by ‘yoga as therapy’. I offer creative, exploratory teachings drawn from different forms and lineages. Practices are informative, nourishing and usually fun!

I enedavour to offer a range of options so people with varying experience of yoga can enjoy the practices at the level which suits. Speak to me if you have particular questions regarding suitability.

The Venue and Area

Purusha is a very special place in a peaceful back to nature setting. This handcrafted retreat venue is set on a beautiful family run farm in the Lincolnshire countryside and is run with the highest ethical and sustainable values, ideal for connecting and inviting rejuvenation.

Nature is at the heart of all the spaces at Purusha. Woodland walks, glades, flower meadows and a lily-pad strewn lake are the settings for the group spaces and accommodation domes. We will enjoy sustainable luxury in the countryside, enjoying the natural world without abandoning modern comforts.

The team at Purusha pride themselves on providing the feeling of total immersion in nature, alongside the private, personal, and peaceful luxury rarely found in today’s fast paced world. This will be a time for you to de-stress, de-tech, unplug and wind down.

If by any chance, you feel like a trip out… the beautiful cathedral city of Lincoln is around 20 minutes drive away.
