Frequently Asked
Questions

A retreat gives you the space to slow down and reconnect with yourself rather than simply filling your holiday with activities.

Our retreats combine beautiful destinations with structured wellbeing experiences, expert guidance, nourishing routines and time for rest. You have the freedom to participate at your own pace while still having a supportive environment around you.

Start by considering what you would most like to receive from your time away. You may be looking for rest and renewal, deeper yoga practice, emotional wellbeing, meditation, nature, personal development or simply a peaceful change of environment.

You should also consider the retreat length, location, accommodation style, level of yoga and the types of treatments or activities included.

If you are unsure, our team can help you compare the available options and find a retreat that matches your intentions.

Retreat lengths vary depending on the destination and programme. Some experiences are designed as shorter breaks of a few nights, while others provide a longer immersive experience.

The individual retreat page will always show the available duration, dates and programme details.

Yes. Many of our retreats are suitable for people who are completely new to yoga or meditation.

Where a particular retreat requires previous experience or is aimed at a specific level, this will be clearly stated on the retreat page.

You are encouraged to listen to your body and practice within your own comfort level rather than comparing yourself with other guests.

Every retreat has its own rhythm, but a typical day may include morning yoga or meditation, a nourishing breakfast, workshops or treatments, time in nature, relaxation, additional practices and an evening wind-down.

We believe rest is part of the retreat too. There is generally time available for reading, walking, swimming, enjoying the surroundings or simply doing nothing.

Absolutely. Retreats are particularly well suited to solo travellers because the group environment creates natural opportunities to meet people while still giving you plenty of personal space.

Many guests arrive alone and leave having made meaningful connections with other retreat participants.

Yes. We do not believe that wellbeing means filling every minute of the day.

Depending on the programme, there will usually be periods for rest, swimming, walking, reading, exploring the destination or enjoying treatments independently.

Group sizes vary by destination and programme. We aim to create an environment that feels personal and welcoming rather than crowded.

The retreat page will provide any specific group-size information available for that programme.

Accommodation varies by retreat. Depending on the destination, you may stay in a boutique hotel, wellness resort, retreat centre, villa or another carefully selected property.

Each retreat page provides details about the property, rooms, facilities and available accommodation options.

Private or single-occupancy accommodation is available on many retreats, subject to availability and the applicable supplement.

Please check the individual retreat details or contact us before booking if private accommodation is important to you.

Facilities vary by property. Most destinations provide standard modern amenities, but some retreats are intentionally located in quieter or more nature-focused environments.

Check the individual destination page for the facilities available at your chosen retreat.

Meal inclusions vary between retreats. Where meals are included, the retreat page will clearly explain which meals are provided.

We favour nourishing food that complements the retreat experience and the destination.

We understand that guests may have different dietary requirements. Vegetarian and vegan options are commonly available, while other requirements depend on the specific retreat property and destination.

Please tell us about your dietary requirements when booking so that we can confirm what can be accommodated before your arrival.

This depends on the programme. Some retreats include treatments or wellness therapies as part of the package, while others offer them as optional extras.

The retreat page will clearly distinguish between included experiences and optional treatments.

Not necessarily. Retreats are not fitness holidays. Many programmes allow you to practise at your own level and include restorative and gentle options.

However, individual programmes can differ considerably. If you have any physical limitations or concerns, please contact us before booking so we can help you select an appropriate experience.

We recommend booking as early as possible, particularly for popular destinations, peak travel periods and retreats with limited availability.

Some retreats may have availability closer to the departure date, but early booking generally gives you the widest choice of dates and accommodation.

Available payment methods can vary depending on the retreat and booking arrangements. Payment instructions will be provided when your booking is confirmed.

This depends on the retreat and how far in advance you are booking. Some retreats require a deposit to secure your place with the balance payable later.

The exact payment schedule will be confirmed as part of your booking information.

Once your booking is confirmed, you will receive the relevant booking information and details for your retreat.

As your travel date approaches, we will provide the practical information you need to prepare, including arrival information, what to bring and other destination-specific details where applicable.

Yes. You can let us know your preference when making your enquiry or booking. We will do our best to accommodate requests, although specific rooms and preferences are subject to availability.

Comfortable clothing, suitable footwear, personal toiletries, swimwear where appropriate, sunscreen, reusable water bottle and any personal medication are good starting points.

We also recommend bringing clothing suitable for changing weather conditions and some comfortable clothes for yoga and relaxation.

A destination-specific packing list may be provided with your retreat information.

Unless specifically stated on the retreat page, flights and international travel are not included in the retreat price.

Please check the inclusions and exclusions for your specific retreat before making travel arrangements.

Airport transfers vary by retreat. Some programmes include transfers while others offer them as an optional service or require guests to arrange their own transport.

The exact arrangement will be stated in your retreat information.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality and the country you are visiting.

We can provide general destination information, but it is your responsibility to ensure that you have the correct passport, visa and entry requirements for your journey.

We recommend checking the latest requirements with the relevant official government or embassy before travelling.

We strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance for every retreat.

Your policy should ideally cover medical expenses, cancellation, interruption, baggage and other travel-related risks appropriate to your destination and circumstances.

Cancellation terms can vary between retreats and suppliers. Your booking confirmation will contain the cancellation terms that apply to your specific retreat.

Please read these terms carefully before booking. Where a deposit is described as non-refundable, it will not normally be returned if you cancel.

Most retreats are designed for adults. Age requirements can vary depending on the retreat, destination and accommodation provider.

If you are travelling with a younger guest, please contact us before booking so we can confirm whether the programme is suitable.

This depends on the nature of the programme and your individual circumstances.

Please speak with your healthcare professional before booking if you have a medical condition, injury or other concern that could affect your participation.

You should also tell us about relevant limitations when enquiring so we can help determine whether a particular retreat is appropriate for you.

Yes. Creating space to slow down is central to the retreat experience. However, each destination has its own atmosphere, location and activities.

If a peaceful environment is especially important to you, let us know when enquiring and we can help you choose a suitable retreat.

Please get in touch. Choosing a retreat is personal, and we are happy to answer questions about destinations, programmes, accommodation, travel arrangements or anything else you would like to understand before booking.
