The Happy Holistic Autumn Retreat

The Happy Holistic Autumn Retreat

A weekend to breathe, move, laugh, and simply be — no experience needed.

If you’re after a retreat that feels like a warm hug rather than a strict schedule, you’re in the right place. The Happy Holistic Autumn Retreat is all about slowing down, feeling at ease in your body, and reconnecting with yourself — no pressure, no performance, no need to be “good” at anything.

Whether you’re totally new to yoga and meditation or just looking for a gentle escape from the busyness of life, this weekend is designed to make you feel relaxed, supported, and completely at home.

What’s the vibe?

Friendly, down-to-earth, and led from the heart. We’ll move through calming yoga, easy Tai Chi-inspired flows, breathwork, and grounding practices — all at a soft, beginner-friendly pace.
No judgement, no fancy poses, and absolutely no pressure to do it all — just space to slow down, smile, and go at your own rhythm.

The retreat takes place at ASHA centre in The Forest of Dean with cosy English countryside style cottages for you to stay, with wholesome, nourishing meals prepared by our lovely private chef.

You’re free to join as much or as little of the programme as you like — this weekend is all about doing what feels good for you.
