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!
— Sophia

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.

Accommodation

The Barn provides a light-filled surrounding for our midweek retreat. The space includes a purpose-built studio with separate spaces for relaxing and dining.

Relax by the fire on the sofas or linger at the dinner table - the Barn is a comforting, welcoming space that will immediately feel like home.

Accommodation is accessed directly from the central courtyard. Each room is elegantly designed with a rustic heart. Most rooms are twin, with two triples, and all come with an ensuite bathroom, sumptuous linen, towels, hairydryer and organic soap and shampoo.

There is space for 3 people to upgrade to single occupancy, with the potential for additional single occupancy in cabin accommodation. If you’re interested in this please add it to the notes when you book.

Getting to West Lexham

West Lexham is a 1 hr 25 min train journey from London’s Kings Cross (nearest stations are Kings Lynn or Downham Market) or a 2.5-hour drive from London. We will organise a shared taxi transfer for those traveling by train. I’ll send train times for the transfer in due course. The arrival time to West Lexham for train travelers is subject to taxi availability, but we hope to organise an arrival to West Lexham by 2pm.
