Join Andrew for a nourishing autumn retreat in the beautiful Marshwood Vale, nestled amongst the rolling hills of West Dorset, just two miles from the sea. A wonderful opportunity to slow down, reconnect and restore, with delicious food, peaceful surroundings and a heated indoor pool to luxuriate in.

The Practice

This retreat draws from traditional Hatha Yoga practices that have been studied, embodied and shared over many years.

Each day will begin with early morning meditation, followed by a unique blend of pranayama and kriya practices.

Late morning sessions will include asana (yoga posture) practice, combining alignment-based postures with fluid, intuitive movement to energise, restore and rebalance body and mind.

Afternoon sessions begin with time to gather together, reflect and ask questions around anything arising physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually. This is followed by afternoon asana practice and somatic movement.

Andrew has been teaching yoga for over 20 years and has led retreats around the world for the past 15 years, creating spaces that are welcoming, grounded and deeply restorative.

The Retreat Centre

Bonhays is a sanctuary of peace, simplicity and stillness — a beautiful, secluded meditation and retreat centre nestled in the hills of West Dorset, between Bridport and Lyme Regis.

Set around a central courtyard, the soft curves of the straw-built buildings blend harmoniously with the surrounding landscape. The centre offers spacious communal areas alongside many quiet corners for rest and reflection.

Surrounded by twenty acres of private land, there are countless places to simply sit and be. Facilities include a heated indoor swimming pool, a meditation and group space, beautiful walks directly from the land and easy access to the coast, just a five-minute drive away.

Whether you choose to watch the sunset from the decking, swim peacefully in the pool, enjoy nourishing meals in the conservatory or settle into stillness in the meditation room, we trust you will leave feeling replenished, rested and revitalised.

Join Andrew for an immersion in all the principle of Yoga tradition in the very birthplace of Yoga!

Enjoy magical sunrises and sunsets by the Indian Ocean in North Goa, a quiet and luxurious setting amongst a delightful garden. The beautiful, clean and spacious Mandrem beach is only a few steps away.

Gift yourself to 3 yoga sessions a day including Meditation, Pranayama and Asana. Plenty of time to explore the nearby markets, visit local towns and simply enjoy lying down by the beautiful sandy beach of Mandrem. The retreat also has a swimming pool. Delicious vegetarian food offered in the delightful beach restaurant.

The retreat includes: accommodation, breakfast and evening meal, 3 yoga classes a day.

Cost for 10 nights per person in shared accommodation: £1650. There is a single room option depending on availability at additional cost. Please inquire for availability.

How to get there: If possible, we suggest you arrive a couple of days (or longer) before the retreat to acclimatize yourself to the country and the climate. A good option that has worked well for us in the past, is to fly to Mumbai where you can spend a night, and fly to Goa the following day. There are several direct flights from Heathrow to Mumbai and it’s very easy then to book a domestic flight to Goa. We can give you ideas of hotels and places to stay both in Mumbai and Goa. Electronic Tourist Visas are easy to get online.

There are only very few spaces for this retreat. Please email us for more information and how to pay a deposit on [email protected]
