What People Said Last Time:

Gail

“I’m reluctant to do another retreat because it couldn’t possibly be as amazing an experience as this one. Feels like I’ve reached the pinnacle of retreats. It was a very healing, rejuvenating, magical experience, from the place, the group, the wisdom and excellent teaching from both Henika and Varsana. There was nothing more I could have wished for and it completely exceeded my expectations in every sense.”

Sunny

“Just stunning! The whole retreat from start to finish was just exceptional. Varsana has a gift for holding space, and no attention to detail is missed, she makes you feel so welcome and is the perfect host with no request too much. You can tell the retreats are made with so much love, and joy and it really reflects on your experience. Can’t wait for the next one! Xx”

Tasha

“An experience that is close to my heart. From start to finish the retreat filled my cup. From the connections made with the group to the attention to detail that was put in by Varsana to create a heart warming space & experience. For anyone wanting to take some time for themselves in a safe space with beautiful people. Then I fully recommend these beautifully created retreats by Varsana.”

Isabelle

“This was my first experience on a retreat, and it delivered exactly what comes to mind when you think of a ‘winter warmer’. The setting was sensational. Practising yoga in a cosy room, with the mist tumbling over the valley outside the window, was very special and made you forget about the rain and cold outside. The sessions were so thoughtfully planned and everything from food, to the amazing teachers made me leave feeling nourished and revitalised”
