"A magical time in a magical place"
Nick and Sarah took really great care of everyone in our small group. Everyone in the group was so lovely and we were blessed with beautiful weather. I really enjoyed the range of activities on offer, from yoga to qi gong to the pamper evening to guided walks along the coastal path. Kingsand and Cawsand are idyllic Cornish villages, you really couldn’t ask for a more picturesque location. The food was delicious as well! I hope to be back again in the future.

Excellent, knowledgeable, and welcoming instructor.
Great environment to meet new friends and be part of a friendly community of people from all over.
Fantastic itinerary and attention to detail, including changes to suit the weather forecast.
Jam packed schedule, variety in activities, with no pressure to joy in if you preferred a little more downtime.
My first yoga retreat, I just hope others live up to the same standard now!
A huge thank you to Sarah and Nick for a brilliant weekend!

"Amazing yoga for outdoorsy people"
Food and accommodation were amazing. Despite being very windy one night, the Geodome felt very secure. Our hosts, Sarah and Nick, had clearly put a lot of thought into devising the programme for the four days and it really was extremely fun and varied. There was a lot of yoga (7 classes) plus guided walks, a boat trip, paddle boarding/sea kayaking and a sound bath. We had an amazing time and would definitely recommend this to others - this part of Cornwall is known as the ‘Forgotten Corner’ but this is an experience I will never forget. Thanks again Sarah and Nick.

"A super friendly and valuable Cornish experience!"
First of all, I really loved Sarah's, Sarah's family and other people' s kindness and friendliness. Sarah is a passionate, skilled and knowleadgable instructor. She taught us beautiful lessons, respecting all the participants' pace and time. And she gave us so much useful and precious advice linked to Ayurvedic philosopy and culture. All the activities were interesting and enjoyable. The location moving and inspiring! Nature so incontaminate and unspoilt. The food was healthy, delicious, various, prepared with care and love, and ...abundant!!
It was my first experience in geodomes and I must say that they're comfy and really nice to see. The view from them is magnificient. I felt moved when I left and I wish to go there again.
Thank you Sarah and family for your genuine care. Thank you everybody for making me feel at home :-) A big hug from Sardinia. God Bless Alessandra

"Amazing 4 day Yoga and Sea based activity experience. "
Exceeded my expectations on every level, my first yoga retreat mixed with outdoor and water sport activities. very well organised and felt totally spoilt during the whole stay. Would thoroughly recommend this experience for everyone. Yoga, food, site and activities were all fantastic with lots of added extras to make for a magical stay.

"Idyllic yoga break"
This yoga retreat is set in a stunning beautiful , peaceful and undiscovered area of Cornwall, the Rame Peninsular. I travelled by public transport. The domes were spacious , the bed comfortable and food delicious. The yoga classes were excellent and suitable for all ability levels. I also had an amazing 2 hour massage with Sarah. Unlike previous yoga retreats I’ve been on where there has often been a long gap between the morning and evening classes, there were other activities to take part in, if you wished. Walking, foraging a 3 hour boat trip on the last Tamar barge, kayaking/SUP etc. I hope to return

"A fantastic yoga experience in a marvellous landscape! "
Sara is a fantastic yoga instructor! A wonderful and assured person with a lot of well grounded experience and knowledge. The location was amazing and I learned something from every lesson. I didn’t know much about the Ayurveda before so I really absorbes every new knowledge.
I enjoyed the food the Sara cooked and served us and the Rame Peninsula is breathtaking beautiful. We had a lot of time to discover the area and go to the beaches and places around.

"Just what I needed and more...."
Where do I start? being my first 'yoga' retreat I really did not know what to expect. Sarah's retreat was not only welcoming but a perfectly balanced practise of yoga & meditation, alone time and Ayuvedic workshops (with practical take-aways - I have now incorporated cardamom water daily;) ). Sarah's massage and Reiki were both wonderful and impacted me deeply. Beautiful location and great energy. Can't wait for the next one!!! Thank you Sarah x

"Stunning location but disappointing experience"
Positives - the location was stunning, group of people were lovely, the yoga classes were nice (very slow and gentle), content of workshops was good and useful (Ayurveda & self massage), boat cruise.

"An amazing retreat"
I had the best week. Sarah's yoga classes were grounding, relaxing, connecting and peaceful. The retreat centre itself is in a beautiful spot with lovely views. It was a short walk down to the beach, where I enjoyed many a sea swim or a relaxed afternoon. The food was delicious, and Sarah catered incredibly well for my gluten-free/vegan diet. I came back feeling more nourished, nurtured, and connected to people and nature. There was an excellent balance of classes, sound healing, boat trip, and time together, but also time to relax or explore on your own. I really appreciated this week, and am grateful to Sarah for sharing her knowledge, peace and kindness with us all. Thank you.

"Peace and Calm - back to basics. "
The whole experience was what I expected from a Yoga retreat. The food was delicious and helped me understand the Ayurveda concepts we were learning during the Ayurveda workshops. All sessions were all well timed, each one was well prepared and presented. A well organized, very relaxing week, with amazing sunshine.
