Yoga & Spice

I truly had the most amazing time on the Women's Wellness retreat at Yoga & Spice. Lorraine, Mark and Mike are absolutely brilliant and so knowledgeable. Lorraine is full of wisdom and creates a safe space to learn and grow. The classes and meditations are enriching, the food is nourishing and the location and accommodation is idyllic. I'm very grateful for the experience and look forward to my next visit.

A breathtaking experience! I had been wanting to do a yoga retreat for a while and had searched a bunch of different places around the UK looking for the one that would be the right fit for me. After searching to see if there was a retreat relatively close to home I was delighted to discover Yoga and Spice. I was blown away by what they had to offer and the pictures of the studio, garden and accommodation - couldn't beleive this was only an hour away! Upon further investigation of the retreats and timetables I decided to book the Women's Wellness retreat, and I'm so glad I did! This was one of the best experiences of my life, Lorraine is incredible and her wealth of knowledge in yoga, kundalini, cooking and ayurveda is so inspiring. All of the food cooked by Lorraine was delicious and by the end of the weekend I felt so clean and energised from the inside out it was amazing! Mark (Lorraine's partner) gave us a wonderful tour of the garden and guided us on a mindful evening tourch-lit walk, it was so lovely chatting with him about his journey to Buddhism along the way. We also had another fab instructor Mike who gave an incredible sound bath experience and hatha yoga class. One of the best things about the trip was meeting the gorgeous ladies who had also booked this retreat, we formed a special bond and were able to be so open with eachother throughout the weekend which was so nice! And last but not least the cabin accommodation was an absolute dream, so peaceful and I could hear owls in the night, just wow! As a yoga instructor I loved being able to be the student and just hand myself over to Lorraine for the weekend. The whole experience was a huge inspiration and I look forward to going to more retreats here in the future. If you've been considering booking here, go for it!! You will not be disappointed Thank you again Lorraine, Mark, Mike, Pat and the team at Yoga and Spice, I'll be back! xxx

I had a lovely weekend at Yoga and Spices total wellness retreat. There is a good balance between yoga and meditation, and Lorraine did a couple of workshops with us to explain the Ayurveda principles. The grounds are peaceful, and the night walk in the forest was a new experience for me! We didnt get great weather to enjoy the outdoors a bit more - but it was February! The meals were delicious and the home-baked goodies a delight. I have felt much more centred and calm since I have returned home from the retreat and that says it all.

What an amazing find! A purpose built natural retreat set in beautiful, peaceful surroundings which added to the experience. Lorraine, Mike, Mark and the team were friendly and welcoming and shared their knowledge. The benefits I felt from relaxing and recharging and taking the time for self-care are immense. Lorraines and Mikes style of teaching yoga was inclusive and understanding. Ive no hesitation in recommending this retreat, you will love it!
