Details

This weekend retreat offers a chance to step away from the pace and demands of everyday life and take a proper break. Set in a beautiful and welcoming English country house with exclusive use of the space and surrounding grounds, it provides a calm, comfortable environment to rest, reset and reconnect. The retreat weaves together accessible yoga, mindful movement, breath awareness and quiet moments for reflection, alongside guided sessions exploring self-awareness, personal growth and ways of navigating life with greater clarity and balance. With six yoga sessions and two reflective personal development sessions across the weekend, the programme offers a thoughtful mix of movement, rest and self-inquiry. Suitable for all levels and abilities, the approach is inclusive, relaxed and free from pressure or expectation, allowing everyone to work at their own pace. Alongside the guided sessions, there is plenty of free time to enjoy the setting; whether that’s walking straight out onto the surrounding countryside, spending time by the outdoor heated pool, booking a massage, playing tennis or croquet, or simply finding a quiet corner to read, journal or rest. Participants are welcome to take quiet time for themselves or enjoy connecting with others during the weekend. With over 20 years of teaching experience and 10 years of running yoga retreats, Annabel creates supportive and down-to-earth spaces where people can slow down, breathe more deeply and reconnect with what really matters. The weekend is designed to feel spacious and unhurried, helping participants return home feeling more grounded, rested and clear-minded.

Testimonials

info

Looking for a restorative weekend that actually leaves you feeling different when you go home? I recommend Annabel Broom's weekend yoga retreats in Sussex, and I can honestly say it’s one of the few things I keep going back to year after year. This will be the 9th retreat I’ve been on and I can’t wait!! Why do I keep returning? Because it’s the perfect reset. A few days away where you genuinely switch off and leave feeling more relaxed and energised. The house is beautiful, with plenty of space to either chat with others or find your own quiet corner. People often arrive on their own or in small groups, and by the end of the weekend it always feels like everyone knows each other. We also have sole use of the house, which makes a huge difference. There’s a heated swimming pool, plus tennis, squash, and croquet if you feel like being active. The food is genuinely a highlight. I’m already looking forward to the delicious meals and cakes. If you fancy a bit of extra indulgence, massages/treatments are also available. I’ve had a lot of massages over the years and these are outstanding. I’m usually terrible at switching off, but I’ve come dangerously close to falling asleep during the treatments! And finally, Annabel’s yoga sessions are a real standout. She’s a fantastic teacher and such a warm, thoughtful host, which really sets the tone for the whole weekend.
