Susan says: “We’re very excited to be hosting this and to have come up with such a super collaboration

Yoga fans can choose between furnished bell tents with fairy lights or luxury wigwams with hot tubs.

The tranquillity of the nearby orchard with its canal side setting and breath-taking views of the Chiltern Hills makes it an ideal venue for this unique yoga experience, and you might even find yourself practising the ancient art in the beautiful Big Hat Teepee or under the summer sky.

On Friday night Charlotte from Scrummy Cooking will supervise creating a delicious meal together while Dawn from 21 Wishes will be in charge of the weekend’s nutritious food.

Rocci says: “During this retreat, we invite you to step back into more tranquil times. The backdrop will be leafy lanes, apples ripening on ancient trees and narrow boats meandering by.”
