WHEN & WHERE
Our next yoga weekend will be on the 7th – 9th of November 2008 at the lovely Balmer
Lawn Hotelright in the heart of the magnificent New Forest in Hampshire.
Unlike most other yoga weekends we don't do chilly 'retreats' where participants have to share twin or triple rooms and trundle down dingy corridors to a shared bathroom. Our weekends are for those of us who want to remain fit, vibrant and calm in comfortable (even luxurious) surroundings.
So at Balmer Lawn everyone has their own en-suite bedroom, everyone can enjoy the indoor swimming pool, the whirlpool spa, the sauna and a first-class gym.
THE PROGRAMME
Our weekend starts on Friday afternoon (please arrive by 4pm). If you are not arriving by car we'll meet you at Brockenhurst Station (90 minutes from Waterloo) just a half a mile from the hotel. On arrival we'll resuscitate you with herbal teas (or champagne if you prefer) and some nibbles. Our first yoga session is at 5pm with dinner at 7.30pm.
Saturday morning starts at 9am with an energizing yoga session, followed by brunch at 11am. After brunch you can choose to have the afternoon off to wonder through the grounds of the hotel or relax in the leisure centre or visit the pretty and historic villages of Brockenhurst and Lyndhurst. Those who wish to have further yoga practice will be able to do so with Minna at 5pm. This session is more calming and gentle. After dinner, we'll relax in the lounge. On Sunday morning the yoga session is again at 9am, followed by brunch at 11am and departure around noon.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
As we've said before, we don’t do dreary 'weekend retreats' where everything but the basics is an 'extra'. Our three-day breaks are life-style Yoga Weekends where everything is included. It’s a concept that sets us apart from other yoga companies and is designed to ensure you go home refreshed and relaxed.
So we include a minimum of four yoga sessions, accommodation in lovely, airy, rooms, brunch on Saturday and Sunday, and dinner (including ½ bottle of wine) on Friday and Saturday. There are no 'extras' to pay for!
SOME FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I've not done yoga before. Are the weekends suitable for beginners as well as the more experienced?
Absolutely. Everyone practices at his or her own pace and ability, and I ensure everyone gets individual attention and support. Yoga is non-competitive activity!
Can I bring my partner
although she/he does not want to practice yoga?
Yes, of course. Your partner will join us for brunch
and dinner.
What do I have to bring
with me?
We practice in either loose joggers and a loose
top or T-shirt (no shoes). We supply everything
else you need. For dinner in the hotel’s
restaurant we go 'smart casual'.
Is the food all nut cutlets
and lettuce leaves?
Not at all. The chef creates fabulous (the restaurant
has an AA Rosette for Fine Dining) non-meat meals
for us (mainly fish) with vegetarian options. Carnivores
can get a fix if desperate. However, if you have
any allergies please let us know.
Is it expensive?
No, our weekends are very affordable and exceptional
value - see below.
