Overview
Do you fancy a different New Year's Eve this year? Join us for a 4-day/3-night New Year's Eve yoga retreat in a very beautiful, special place - Cabilla Retreat, on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall. We'll be practicing daily yoga in the barn. Read books by the fire, cosy up in your cabin, toast marshmallows and welcome in the new year around the campfire. Eat delicious food by Beth the Free Range Chef. We will also have two optional writing workshops - one to reflect on the year we've had, and one to dream and vision big goals for the coming year. We find that this liminal time between Christmas and New Years is a wonderful time for this... This retreat has been specifically designed for you to rest, reflect and dream, then float into the New Year with a little more space in your body and mind, and calm in your soul.

Trip Tips
Do
Settle in before starting the retreat with tea, snacks and our opening circle. Day one (Sunday) is all about grounding and resting, so we will do yin yoga and a magical sound bath before dinner, preparing us for a good, long sleep. Monday will bring morning yoga and meditation, before a hearty brunch. There will be two optional writing workshop with cacao, before and after lunch. Later on we will practice yin yoga before a delicious dinner. On Tuesday there will be morning yoga and meditation, brunch, walks in the woods and wild swims. There will be some space before dinner, campfire and NYE celebrations. Wednesday morning - New Year's Day- we'll have yoga then an optional swim before a hearty New Year's Day brunch. This is then followed by a closing circle and departures. The yoga classes are themed around the natural elements, bringing nature into your practice. All activities are optional but encouraged, so you can nap, read or swim and explore - it’s completely up to you. Also - all activities are weather dependant, so we leave space for the schedule to change and flow!
