About West Lexham
West Lexham is a holistic and healing retreat venue set in an idyllic river valley complete with ancient trees and abundant wildlife.
The natural energy of the land and beautiful scenery is the perfect setting for an extended dose of nourishing movement, delicious food, wild nature and good company.
The location is complete with a kitchen garden, sanctuary garden, chalk stream, swimming pool, lake for boating, wild swimming and paddle boarding and surrounding wildlands for walks, runs and quiet contemplation.
West Lexham an active habitat for biodiversity and its floating water meadows have earned it a title as a Site of Special Scientific Interest. West Lexham is 90% powered by renewables and run on organic principles.
The Yoga
We offer accessible movement, breath practice and deep rest to bring you back home to your body. With an emphasis on listening to your own intuitive preference and following your curiosity, you’ll experience real nourishment and appreciation for your body as we move and find stillness together.
There’s no pressure but there will be joyful connection with your body’s capacity, with options to feel strength and balance or allow yourself to rest. By the time you leave you’ll be feeling a million more times in your body than at the beginning of the retreat, with a renewed commitment to listening and looking after yourself.
“The yoga with Chloe and Clare leaves me feeling so centred in my body and in touch with how I’m feeling both physically and mentally... And well the restorative yoga is equivalent to the best afternoon of sleep going!
”
The Food
Delicious, fresh vegetarian meals will be prepared lovingly by West Lexham’s onsite retreat chef using seasonal ingredients - many of which coming from the estates kitchen garden . You won’t have to lift a finger for 48 hours! This is heart and soul food that inspires and comforts, and enables you to leave feeling re-energised.

About your facilitators
Chloe George and I have been co-hosting retreats for 4 years. Over this time we’ve honed our approach to create residential containers that are transformative as well as fun, playful as well as deeply restful and above all, nurturing. Our aim is that you feel completely looked after, with the autonomy to focus on what you need most from your retreat. Our schedules are always spacious, offering plenty of opportunities to come together with others for uplifting social time as well as time alone to nap, swim, read or walk.
We both teach intuitively and unhurriedly, working with an understanding of the nervous system and lots of compassion for wherever your body is at today. We focus on an embodied practice, encouraging deep listening to and expression through your body.
Retreats work their magic via the power of movement as well as stillness and rest, connection to each other as well as nature, wonderful food and comfortable, beautiful places to linger in. We’ve worked hard to create the very best experience for our guests, and we’re delighted to have many repeat clients who know the power of taking a bit of time for yourself.
