"You can only truly understand the magic once you have immersed yourself in West Lexham"
West Lexham is a holistic retreat centre with self care, connection & the healing power of nature at its core.
This eco friendly natural paradise stretches across 21 lush acres of gardens and woodlands, lake and river. The amazing natural energy of the land and beautiful scenery is the perfect setting for our retreat.
The lake is ideal for wildlife spotting or a lazy row in the boat provided. It’s also a popular choice for wild swimming.
The Sanctuary Garden is a tranquil space to relax and reflect , with plenty of seating, beautiful streams and stone dragons.
As I wandered down to the lake on my first visit to West Lexham the quote above came rushing to mind. Nature seems to vibrate it's energy everywhere, its both uplifting and instills a sense of deep connection - a truly special experience.

THE YOGA
Over the 3 days we will explore the application of movement, breath work and mindfulness within a yoga practice. These therapeutic practices draw from a blend of eastern wisdom and modern science to help us connect to the experience of “felt sense”. My aim is you leave the retreat with an applied understanding of how yoga can support health and wellbeing both on the mat
and in our daily lives.
Energising morning practices will combine mindful yoga, breath work, MFR and guided relaxation to help release stress & tension, create space in joints for more movement, build resilience and support the natural renewal processes. Slower more introspective practices blending breath work with MFR, yin & restorative yoga will help regulate the nervous system, reduce stress, improve digestion and more.
" This was my first yoga retreat and I'm sure it will not be my last. Thank you Gail for everything from the clear descriptions of what the retreat entails to the inclusive yoga practices and the gentle, easy going approach you have to the whole experience.
I particularly enjoyed the opportunity to mix social and solitude in a way that suited me.
I leave rested and ready in mind and body”
