Uplifting summer yoga retreat in Norfolk, UK

About West Lexham

West Lexham Manor in Norfolk is the ideal location for a summer weekend retreat. Set in peaceful countryside perfect for long walks and a short drive away from the sweeping sandy beaches of Holkham and Brancaster for those wanting some sea air.

The estate offers an idyllic natural environment with accommodation in luxury modern en-suite rooms and cosy cabins set on the side of a lake. The heritage barn has been stunningly converted and provides an airy, bright space perfect for yoga and gathering.

Retreat programme

The retreat will begin on Friday evening with a welcome class followed by a delicious dinner. Jess will then lead you through two classes on the Saturday in the beautiful barn shala. She will offer an uplifting, dynamic morning class to align body and breath, followed by breakfast.

During the day there will be plenty of time for walks, massage treatments, a trip out to the beach or curling up with a good book. There will be a delicious healthy lunch and the group will meet again in the late afternoon for a more restorative practice to delve deeper into the postures. In the evening the group will gather again for dinner in the barn and chats around the fire pit.

Jess will also weave daily healing sound baths into the schedule with her magical crystal bowls! You're in for a treat.

Arrival time on Friday 23 June will be from 4pm. Departure on Sunday 25 June will be at midday after a lake dip for those who fancy it, energising morning yoga and a nourishing brunch.
