The True Essence of You Retreat

We couldn't be happier with this unique hostel. It truly reflects the soul of our retreat, FOCUSING ON TRUE SELF There are no luxurious rooms or sparkly facilities...Well, hear us out...Yoga is not about glamorous leggings and shiny hotels. In fact, these can be disruptions to your practice. We believe in the true essence of yoga, and its humble and modest roots. Our hostel is situated in stunning Studland, a 5 min walk from the beach, on the beautiful green grounds, surrounded by unspoiled nature. There isn't a more tranquil and serene place to switch off and reset. Rooms are simple yet clean, bright and comfortable, and with days packed with activities, they will provide perfect resting pods! 

YOGA AND MEDITATION ~ Louise has designed unique yoga practices and guided meditations reflecting our stunning seaside location. We will be using SILENTYOGA UK headphones so you can deeply immerse yourself in the experience and go truly within. It is the perfect way to calm this never stopping inner chatter. So if you struggle with switching off, trust us, you will enter a whole new world of relaxation.

BREATHWORK AND SWIM ~ We are so excited to share with you many different breathing techniques, from stress and anxiety relief to energising ones, helping you to get into this cold March sea. Step into cold water and let the nervous system calm down. We will guide you and encourage you on your journey into the water but if taking part in the sea dips you will need to feel competent in the water.

VEGAN KITCHEN ~ The only retreat during which you can watch the chef in action! Magda will be making all the meals freshly in front of you, answering all your questions and sharing plenty of tips. There will be cooking workshops too! The kitchen will be set up as a little pantry so you can nose around, smell, try, taste and get inspired! This will be our 4th retreat and every time the food is different, so the more often you join us, the greater your vegan food know how becomes.

Spend a magical weekend with us and we guarantee you will come back inspired, refreshed and relaxed. This retreat is like no other, we will nurture you, listen to you and look after you. All you need to bring with you is OPEN HEART, we will take care of the rest.

Full itinerary will be provided on arrival, we want to keep an element of anticipation. As this is set up as a hostel, you will be staying in rooms of 4, don't worry if you want to attend alone, by the time you leave we will all be friends. The cost of the weekend which includes all meals (2 breakfasts, 2 lunches, 2 dinners), accommodation and all activities is £295 per person. A £100 deposit secures your space and the balance is due by 31st January 2024. Deposit payments are non refundable and once 31st January has passed we will not be able to refund the cost of the weekend unless someone takes your place.

This will be our fourth retreat of this nature, the first & second were a sell out success. We have learnt what works and each time will add a special something to enhance your experience and if you become a regular, there is still something new for you. Here is what some of the participants said

"Louise is a superb and sensitive yoga teacher.  I attended her weekend yoga retreat recently and really enjoyed it.  Her teaching is easy to follow and really benefited me in body and mind.   She is a very experienced and knowledgeable teacher and I would really recommend her classes and weekends away"

"Just back from our yoga retreat in Dorset. Wonderful food lovingly made by Magda. Everthing was so fresh, full of flavour and very satisfying. Such a treat to be cooked for. First time eating totally vegan and it was an amazing experience. Magda has shared her recipes so I'll be able to recreate them at home (hopefully!) I'm booking for next year"

"Fab vegan food provided by Magda at a yoga retreat. She very patiently demonstrated how to make the dishes we were eating and answered all our questions."
