Welcome to Nourished - The Stretch & Stride Spring Retreat

Not at all. The yoga sessions are accessible, steady and suitable for all levels. You can take everything at your own pace.

No. They’re there if you want them, and we’ll talk you through it. You’re welcome to stick to the sauna or skip both altogether. Heat and cold put extra demand on the heart and circulation, so if you’re pregnant or have a heart condition, high or low blood pressure or any other medical condition, please check with your GP before booking and let us know.

The hike is around 10km across the South Downs, with some hills along the way. It’s led by Helena, a Mountain Leader with lots of experience guiding groups outdoors. We plan the route around the weather on the day and go at a steady pace with plenty of breaks and lunch on the hill. If you can walk comfortably for a few hours, you’ll be fine. 

Shared yurts sleep two, or you can choose your own yurt when you book. They’re tucked among the trees, each with its own firepit, comfy beds, bed linen, electric lights, a wood-burning stove and its own toilet and shower. At the heart of the village is the Yurtery, a shared space with a kitchen and seating area. 

Food is at the heart of this retreat. Every meal is seasonal, vegetarian and lovingly prepared to nourish your body after a day outdoors. As a special treat, The Hampshire Vegan are joining us to cook Saturday’s dinner and Sunday’s lunch, so you can sit back and enjoy a proper feast made with ingredients sourced as locally as possible. We can cater for all dietary requirements and will send a short health and dietary questionnaire after you book. This is an alcohol-free retreat.
