Summer Yoga Retreat At The Castle

 

– a magical day at a magical place

 

I am so thrilled to be able to announce that our Yoga Retreats at the Castle will be continuing throughout the year.

 

For the Summer, I have put together a schedule of new and exciting sessions, all designed to bring out the best in you for the summer season.
