Is the walk part of the day, and how demanding is it?

Yes, a guided countryside walk is one of the four highlights, described as slow, mindful and at a relaxed pace. A 2024 guest mentioned a scenic stroll around Bourton-on-the-Water. Route details for 2027 haven't been announced.

Who leads the yoga and hosts the day?

Guests from the 2024 day name Katie as host and yoga instructor, leading two yoga practices: an energising morning class and a calming restorative one. Reviewers describe her as welcoming and caring. Confirm the 2027 teaching line-up when booking opens.

Would this work as a gift or for someone coming alone?

Past reviews suggest both. One guest booked it as a birthday gift for his girlfriend, and another attended as her first retreat with Katie. It is a pamper-style day of gentle movement, food and rest, so it suits those wanting relaxation rather than an intensive or technical yoga workshop.

About This Event

Description

The Cotswolds Retreat Day is a one-day wellness retreat of yoga, creativity and rest, held at Zenaa Retreats near Chipping Norton in the Cotswolds, England. It is made for anyone who wants a gentle, well-held pause from everyday life: a pamper day that combines movement, time outdoors, good food and quiet.

The day is hosted by Zenaa Retreats and is planned for March 2027, when the season is turning. Guests describe the host and yoga teacher, Katie, as welcoming, caring and thoughtful.

What to Expect

The day opens with a welcome drink and moves into an energising morning yoga practice, designed to wake the body and settle the mind. Tea and cake follow, then a slow guided countryside walk through the Cotswolds at a relaxed pace, with time to connect with nature and the season.

Lunch is made with fresh, seasonal ingredients. The afternoon turns toward softness: a mindful creative activity, then a restorative yoga class that encourages deep rest and intention-setting for the season ahead. The aim is to leave calm yet energised, with a little more clarity as you return to ordinary life.

The schedule from the 2026 retreat gives a sense of the rhythm, and the 2027 timings may differ:

- 10:00 Welcome drink
- 10:15 Dynamic yoga class
- 11:15 Tea and cake
- 11:30 Countryside walk
- 13:00 Lunch
- 14:00 Creative activity
- 15:00 Gentle yoga class
- 16:00 Guests depart

The Setting

The retreat takes place in the countryside near Chipping Norton. Past guests have spoken of a lovely venue, with yoga sessions overlooking a lake, and of a scenic afternoon walk around Bourton-on-the-Water with wide countryside views. Walking routes may vary from year to year.

Before You Go

The day is run in English. Included are the welcome drink, a dynamic yoga class, tea and cake, the guided countryside walk, a seasonal lunch, the creative activity and a gentle or restorative yoga class. Spaces are limited, and the day is designed as a fully nurtured experience, so there is nothing to organise once you arrive.

A schedule and packing list are sent to guests ahead of the day.
