The Space To…
2021 Cornwall Retreat - For The Perfect Yoga Filled Staycation
the
‘space to….’
uk retreat
cornwall - 9th/13th september 2021
4 nights stay in the one of Englands most stunning stately homes will be all ours for this extended late Summer get away
This retreat space and grounds can only be described as breathtaking. This is one of the most beautiful locations that I have ever had the privilege to plan a treat within. It really is a true representation of what beauty lies right on our doorstep.
This retreat feels like the prefect antidote to what has been a challenging past year, and I cannot wait to share this very much needed break and experience with you.
The purpose…
‘THE SPACE TO….’
You fill in the blank. This retreat is all about expansion and space. This is the space to listen to what you need and what works for you. It is about revealing and tapping into your authentic self. After over a year of restrictions and compromise we are ready to set ourselves free once again, and this retreat and devine expansive location is the perfect place to explore exactly this.
I chose this location because it matched the purpose. Each individual will have space and time to explore the inwards and the outwards. To feel like we can be free we must feel safe in our surroundings, to be able to let go, and to discover ourselves more deeply and to connect with others and feel safe to and open to just be without pressure or agenda. I truly believe that this is the space that can hold us, and I will do my best as always to hold the space for you to explore.
There will be lots of room for alone time, and also plenty of time together. The estate is absolutely enormous and there will be lots of opportunities to get lost and explore, not only the surroundings, but also yourself. Each day the practices will be different, with 2 practices per day Fri - Sun & 1 practice on Thursday and Monday, and of course workshops, activities and rituals woven in throughout. The yoga practices will as always be open and designed to give you the confidence to expand your practice in all of its many different paths, and hopefully to discover something new and bright that has been waiting to be lit up deep within.
The location…
This stunning stately home is abundant in history, from the home of a prime minister, to the safe space for King Charles I. The house was once paid for with the incredible giant Indian diamond that was later placed in Napoleons sword and is now displayed in the Louvre, Paris.
The home sadly deteriorated in the 20th century and was used as a military ground during WWII. It was later lovingly restored by the current family over 20 years of pure love, making it what it is today. The owners themselves are interior designers so no space has been left dull. The house is quintessentially British, with each bedroom hosting a different theme. It is beautifully designed honouring the classical history of the house down to every little detail.
The estate includes so many stunning spaces for us to enjoy together but also alone as you feel.

Contact me for payment plan options. Previously 3 - 6 month payment plans have worked well for past yogis, but if this is still too tight i’m open to helping you out in any way I can however I will need to have received the full payment prior to the retreat start date. Each venue is different with timelines on full payments and for this retreat location specifically full payment is required no later than 8 weeks before we arrive.
If you are not opting for a payment plan full payment is to be made 8 weeks before the retreat start date (15th July)
Getting There…
I will advise full address closer to the time (1 week before).
The property has lots of space for cars if you choose this method of transport or you can arrive by train in just over 4hrs from London.
I suggest arranging with other yogis to share taxis or if you’re driving and have a car that can accommodate others some friendly car pooling. (a great way to split costs!)
*Payment Plan Available. Deposit is non-refundable unless otherwise stated valid reasons above.
T’s & C’s Apply.
Previous Retreat Testimonials….
“I just returned from the most inspirational and rejuvenating yoga retreat with Amayour Surf in the dessert hills of Taghazout (Tamazirt) in Morocco and there, our yoga teacher and friend Francesca (a true goddess!) hosted a workshop where we learned to let go of the past and manifest the future. I returned to Paris having made peace with 2018 and refocused, with a sense of clarity, for the adventures that lie ahead. ”
