The Venue

Poundon house is stunning and spacious; set within six acres of landscaped gardens on the edge of the Oxfordshire-Buckinghamshire border. This Queen Anne style House offers a luxury escape in the peace and tranquility of the countryside, with the bonus of being within easy reach of London, Oxford, Milton Keynes, Birmingham, the Cotswolds and Bristol.

Once you arrive at Poundon House, you will feel immediately at home. Whether it is settling down in front of a roaring open fire, taking a long bath in one of the unique bathrooms or going for a quiet walk in the apple orchard, for over a century Poundon has been the perfect place to escape the bustle of city life.

The Yoga

Over the course of the weekend there will be four meditation sessions and four yoga sessions.

The morning yoga practices will be be a dynamic, creative, playful and explorative ‘deep slow flow’ asana practice and will include meditation and pranayama.The afternoon sessions will be a mellower, soothing and nurturing practice, delving into areas such as yin yoga, restoratives, pranayama, chakras, yoga nidra and meditation. This will be a deeply nourishing and blissful practice.

The focus of this weekend will be to clarify and build our positive intention and resolve for the year to come. Also a physical focus on cleansing, purifying and creating the space for change and transformation to happen in our lives.

Things to do

In your free time between yoga sessions and mealtimes you have the opportunity to enjoy the grounds and surrounding countryside as there are lots of walking opportunities. There are lovely characterful bathrooms just inviting you to take a long soak, massages are available and there is a lovely, comfy lounge where you can curl up by the open fire with a book and a cup of tea.

Accommodation

There are ten unique and beautifully restored bedrooms, two singles and the rest double/twins or triples. The house has retained all of its original features so all bedrooms are without en-suites. They all have their own style and are spacious with a luxurious feel but also comfortable and very relaxing.

Food

You will be treated this weekend to a healthy feast of lovingly prepared delicious, home cooked vegetarian food, which will nourish your body and your soul. The food is largely vegan and gluten free but there will be eggs and dairy options available.

What my students say

"Thanks so much for such a great yoga weekend. It was just what I needed. I have felt very clear headed and a lot calmer since. I loved all the meditation and the asana practice too. I feel so much better physically and mentally from the weekend’s practices. Plus amazing food and group of people. I loved it".
