The overall retreat was fab - great food, great yoga, lovely people, and a huge amount of love and care put in by Rebecca, Olivia and Liz.

Excellent yoga sessions, where all standards were incorporated. As a beginner I never felt intimidated or 'less' while others did poses that looked impossible!

The food was also absolutely excellent. An adventure for the pallet!

I cannot recommend this retreat highly enough. Rebecca was so warm, welcoming and organised which allowed me to fully relax into the experience. The food she and her assistant Sarah provided was delicious and her passion for creative cooking and conscious eating infectious. Liz Lark’s yoga sessions were inclusive for all levels, deeply relaxing and drew upon her many years of experience in varied yoga disciplines. Her massage was excellent too. The venue at Brock Cottage was stunning with a wonderful communal area for eating, relaxing and cookery demonstrations. All of this set in a stunning ancient woodland with numerous walking trails nearby made for a thoroughly rejuvenating escape from normal life. Now back at work I am still feeling the calming medicinal effects of the relaxation and health giving eating and drinking. As Rebecca has provided all the recipes and links to further information I am excited to continue on this journey into greater understanding of food, cooking and wellness.

The home from home atmosphere. The host accommodating and friendly. Small group. Safe space for a single person. Perfect pace. Yoga restorative and calming.

Yoga was suitable for beginners and more experienced people. Lovely small retreat of only 10 guests which made a great atmosphere. Food demonstrations and quality were very impressive and learnt a lot about vegan eating.

I really enjoyed this retreat and had a relaxing time which left me feeling refreshed and invigorated. The surroundings were peaceful and the yoga sessions were very good. The food was excellent & it was great learning more about Vegan cooking & made me so much more conscious of what I'm putting into my body. I liked that there was time to rest, walk & read in between activities.

I loved learning more about plant based eating and experiencing different foods .the house was perfect for a retreat. The yoga was well explained and easy to follow although the yoga room was cosy .I loved the outdoor yoga session on the grass .There are some great walks and plenty of time to relax and get to know the other guests .A great experience and well run by the extremely hard working team

A super time in the beautiful countryside with amazing Rebecca and Laura.

As a solo traveller I was made to feel very welcome and cared for.

Beautiful food, immense information and guidance to healthy eating with great cookery demos.

Yoga practices with Rani were superb and very accommodating for all levels.

Accommodation was superb, very comfortable and cosy.

A great weekend and would thoroughly recommend.

Liz Lark, the yoga instructor, was amazing!

The food was exquisite, nutricious, plant-based, and prepared with incredible love by Rebecca and Laura! The dishes taught me to appreciate a number of vegetables I normally avoid ...

The accommodation was beautiful, artistic, quirky (we had a bathtub in our room!) and comfortable, with lots of natural light.

Rebecca and Laura made gorgeous meals and taught us lots about nutrition.

Our little dog, Roxy, was welcomed and made to feel part of things ...

The Nature Reserve on our doorstep made for restful walks!

I was also able to book a massage with Liz, which was wonderful: Liz taught me some exercises I can continue with to help with my shoulder mobility.

Recommended!

The juice fast retuned my awareness of my body’s state. Rebecca’s thoughtful guidance on diet and nutrition changed my approach to eating when I returned home.

Jed’s yoga teaching which focused on breathing, mediation, and chanting, as well as the usual yoga poises, was exactly what I was looking for. Her depth of knowledge made this my best yoga experience.

It was a small group with mixed backgrounds and goals for the retreat. Rebecca, Jed and Laura created a great community experience in a very short time, and frequent walks in the woods (thought a nature reserve) made the experience complete. Lots of opportunity for conversations and time to quietly think about the spiritual aspects of the experience.

Rebecca and Jed ran a fantastic retreat of yoga, fasting, education, relaxation and well being.

They both made something which could be hard, enjoyable. Fully recommend it.

Rebecca the host was so kind and gentle. With Laura they shared their love of creative cooking and the food was wonderful and plentiful. Jed was an amazing yoga instructor. We experienced many forms of yoga. All hosts generously shared their knowledge and material so that you can follow up

Rebecca's nutritional knowledge was excellent with lots additional tips and advice on useful websites and recipes. Rebecca and Laura provided great juices and a wonderful breakfast on the final morning. The whole experience was extremely relaxing and I felt I had retreated into another world, especially whilst meditating in the woods. This whole experience was enhanced by the wonderful team and I had the best massage ever with Jed, well two actually!

Rebecca was a marvelous host of this retreat, her knowledge and wisdom was incredibly inspiring, the retreat felt nurturing and caring but not strict and prohibitive. I highly recommend attending if you are looking for a life reset and reframe, all she shared with us has stayed with me beyond the retreat. Highly, Highly recommend.

Every single thing surpassed my expectation.

Rebecca is a font of knowledge and I learnt a great deal from her and the lovely Laura about nutritional plant based eating. It has transformed how I feel about cooking.

Jed was incredible as a yoga instructor and her massages are just sublime.

Everyone was lovely

The location was beautiful and surrounded by nature. The first night of relaxation in the forest was just unbelievably blissful. We were spoilt by the amazing vegan food that was executed to perfection and very tasty. Each meal was deliciously satisfying without feeling bloated. cooking demonstrations was very insightful and easy to prepare at home. The organizers were just fantastic hosts and are the most strong and inspiring women. I hope to join again and I would certainly recommend this retreat to friends and family..

The food was amazing and the relaxed atmosphere was just what I needed. Would definitely go again

Thank you so much Rebecca, Laura and Uma. I love you all so much. This was my first ever juice fasting and yoga retreat and it was perfect in every possible way. Beautifully co-ordinated, incredibly supportive, naturally inspiring and a stunning location. I loved everything and I'll be back.

The whole experience cannot be faulted - apart from the weather - but even that didn’t spoil anything- highly recommend

The vegan food was a revelation...every meal was delicious and easy to recreate. The yoga was well led in a perfect environment allowing deep and restorative meditation to take place. Overall a lovely weekend I would highly recommend and very likely repeat in the future.

Amazing cookery tips and food

Lovely location

I went on this break just for the yoga and ended up on a week of fasting. Unexpectedly loosing 10 Kg including 2-3 days after the week. Now to keep that off and keep on with the yoga.

This was my first experience of a Yoga and fasting retreat in Turkey.We were made to feel so welcome as soon as we arrived and our instructor was so informative,helpful and supportive, nothing was too much trouble.

The yoga experience was exceptional, leaving us feeling so relaxed in mind & body.

I left this retreat feeling fantastic and I would recommend anyone to give it a try as you will not be disappointed with the results . Looking forward to returning next year.

The food was lovely and the Yoga was excellent. Rebecca who ran the retreat had a perfect non preachy attitude towards healthy eating
