Tilton House Weekend Yoga Retreat

A Healing, Nurturing Space to Rejuvenate

Tilton House is the ideal location to rest, rejuvenate and connect with nature. This is the fourth year of Holistic Yoga retreats at Shaun and Polly’s lovely retreat centre. Their beautiful period home and rambling garden feel so calm and welcoming, you’ll find yourself relaxing as soon as you arrive.
On a weekend retreat, the time and space allow a deeper nurturing than is possible in a weekly yoga class. With no need to worry about work, caring for others, battling traffic or even cooking for yourself, something rather special happens. The time just flies by. Each day, you’ll realise that you’re releasing layers of bodily tension and have a progressively clearer, calmer mind.
These weekend retreats offer a variety of yoga, meditation and sound bathing practices which work together to refresh your mind, body and spirit. As the yoga is modified to suit your individual needs, you can enjoy the weekend with a friend or relative who is entirely new to yoga.
On the 4-day retreat, we’ll be looking at how to improve our walking gait, using gentle yoga and movement practices. Often, an imbalance in our gait is the root cause of knee, hip, back and shoulder pain. Julia has specialist training in this area and there is an option to have an individual consultation with her for your specific needs (for an extra charge).

Three nights – Late May Bank Holiday
Friday 24th May – Monday 27th May

Two Nights – Late Summer Weekend
Friday 30th August – Sunday 1st September

About Tilton House

Tilton House is a beautiful period home, once owned by John Maynard Keynes, a world-renowned economist and member of the Bloomsbury Set. This group of artists and thinkers included Virginia Woolf and E.M. Foster. They resided in London, but often “retreated” to this area of Sussex to write, make art and enjoy the more relaxed pace of life. The home has an inspiring, yet laid-back feeling with a sense of space and privacy. You’ll discover the wonderful library and various other lovely spaces in which to rest and relax in between sessions. We’ll practice yoga in the yurt or, if it’s warm and sunny, outside on the lawn. Particularly in May, the soothing sound of birdsong is always in the background. Here is an in-depth review of Holistic Yoga at Tilton House, by a retreat participant.

About the Retreat

In between classes there is time to “just be” – an important part of any yoga retreat. There are numerous cosy spots in house or garden, in which to read, rest or enjoy a cup of tea. Other special treats include an outdoor sauna, a visiting massage therapist and sound healing treatments (the massage and individual sound treatments are not included in the retreat cost). If you are feeling more energetic, there are lovely walks in the area.

The chef at Tilton House is well known for creating delicious raw desserts, and healthy plant based meals. The cooking is vegetarian (mostly vegan), low GI and high protein. Previous students have found the food filling and delicious, even though many are not vegetarian. Herbal and normal teas, water and fresh fruit are freely available.
