A retreat for women
This afternoon is dedicated to you as a woman. This is an opportunity to rest, to nurture yourself and to receive nourishing practices to enhance your self care. We will have a particular focus on the equinox and what this means in terms of the approaching Autumn.
Gut Health and Ayurveda Cookery Day
Join Virginia for this one day workshop focusing on Ayurveda and food.
We will explore recipes that are traditionally Ayurvedic and learn how these promote and maintain our gut health. This day will use locally sourced (foraged, self grown and from local organic suppliers), ingredients to honour the Autumn season.
Autumn Cleanse & meditation practice ONLINE
An online at home cleanse plus home ritual and meditation practice. In Ayurveda it is recommended that we cleanse at the change of season in order to prevent build up of ama (toxins) in the body and mind, this helps to prevent disease. Navaratri is a nine nights practice where we focus upon the goddess in various forms. These two practices quite naturally run alongside one other and help us to focus on our self care whilst rebalancing and rejuvenating the body and mind.
One Day Autumn Retreat
During this one day retreat you will be encouraged to rest, restore and let go. Using restorative gentle yoga, restful breath work, yoga nidra, massage and sound and with a delicious seasonal lunch, this day is designed to nourish and nurture you as the seasons shift and change. We will complete our day by making a mandala for Diwali, the festival of light.

“I had planned this wonderful trip to India as my first step into retirement, and it was the perfect decision. The retreat is well organised by Virginia Compton with all your needs catered for. I had planned to extend my visit to Kerala by two weeks to explore a bit more of the area. Shibu Krishna was on hand during my stay at the retreat to help me plan my onward journey. He arranged transport and booked hotels for me at each place I visited. He made the process seamless and absolutely perfect. Without a doubt, I would recommend this retreat in India, and with the guaranteed sunshine, wonderful scenery and kind gentle people – Kerala will be the place I visit again.”

About Yoga & Ayurveda
Yoga and Ayurveda are sister sciences and it is recommended that they are always practised alongside one another.
From online courses, one day retreats in the UK, to two week retreats in Kerala, South India.
Step away from ordinary everyday life for a while, and let us support and nourish you in whatever way you need.
Having never been to India and travelling on my own, I could not ask for more helpful, kind, knowledgeable and supportive people. The retreat is a true world away and an oasis of tranquillity and peace. A wonderful place to reset and offers a rich variety of ways to realign your body, mind and health.
I could not recommend it enough.

“Virginia is amazingly committed and dedicated to every individual under her care.
I attended an ayurveda cleansing retreat organised by her in November 2022.
Unusually, she arranged to meet all the participants prior to the retreat and sent questionnaires for us to complete so she knew much about us before the event. Her personal engagement with each of us meant we trusted her. She provided specific treatment and massages for each of us. Her high level of expertise combined with her interest in each person is truly commendable.”
