Accommodation

You will spend your two-night stay at the luxurious Finchcocks coach house. This 18th century, grade II listed stately home is nestled amongst beautiful Kent countryside, on the edge of the attractive village of Goudhurst, approximately 1 hour from London. The coach house is designed and outfitted to the highest specification; each room is unique but expect some four-poster beds, ancient wooden beams, fireplaces, the highest quality mattress and luxurious bedding, ensuite bathroom and stunning views. Relax in the peaceful garden, recline in the cosy snug by the fire and dine in the grand dining room. Check out the beautiful accommodation here: https://www.finchcocks.com/stay/ The coach house & gardens will be for the exclusive use of the yoga retreat guests. 6 rooms are set up with double beds designed for single occupancy or couples 1 room is set up with a double and a single bed so can accommodate friends or family sharing as a twin.

The Yoga On Friday evening we will kick-off with 60 minutes of relaxing flow-yoga and grounding meditation, to ease guests into their weekend and encourage them to melt away the stresses of the week. On Saturday we will start the day with an energizing power yoga practice. Flowing through a 90-minute sequence to wake-up and energize the whole body. Option to practice outside if the weather is good. On Sunday morning we will practice 90 minutes of fun and flowing power yoga to release and reset the body ready for the week ahead! The yoga practice will be all levels and beginners are welcome. Extras Sound Healing Gong Bath On Saturday late afternoon we will go on a transcendent sound-healing journey via an extra special gong bath. Led by Joanne Burchfield (Gong practitioner and Reiki Master), this is a restorative and physically passive practice where we lie comfortably supported by bolsters, blankets, and eye pillows and allow the gongs and singing bowls to do their magical work. For those of you who have never experienced sound-healing (I had not until recently) it is a beautifully grounding and calming journey, a real treat for mind, body and soul! Essential Oils There will be an essential oils mini workshop on Saturday afternoon. This will include a brief introduction to the health and wellbeing benefits of essential oils and the opportunity to sample lots of oils to make your own unique blend; either a yoga mat spritz or a pulse point rollerball.

Massage There is the optional extra treat of a Theraputic Sports Massage on Saturday morning or afternoon. Massage therapist Millie Friday will be bringing her healing hands to our retreat and offering 1 hour full body massage for just £35. Other There are some lovely local walks from the Finchcocks estate, as well as Scotney castle which can be visited on foot from the retreat location.
