Love to Flow Yoga Retreat

42 Acres, Somerset
19 – 21 April 2024

Our springtime yoga retreat took place at 42 Acres in Somerset. Seven hundred acres of ancient forest encircle this beautiful, historic Victorian farmhouse, set in outstanding, quintessential natural beauty. Through centuries, 42 acres has evolved into this exquisite retreat space.

The beautiful bedrooms combine Victorian charm with contemporary innovations. The bedrooms and bathrooms have all been finished with loving care, attention to detail and the highest quality.

On waking up in this stunning location, we shared a blissful sunrise sadhana in the Yoga Yurt. The spacious yurt has wooden floors, a traditional wood burning stove and is surrounded by green fields and ancient forest. Moving through beautiful sequencing and creative namaskars, we explored Ayurveda inspired Elemental Vinyasa and Dharma Yoga. In the afternoons, we surrendered to restorative, yin yoga practice, meditation and yoga nidra, allowing every-body-being to rest, renew and restore.

We shared a delicious diversity of colourful, flavourful, healthy food. All ingredients are locally sourced, organic and wild, often foraged from the land. 42 Acres believe in the regenerative benefits of food, prepared with care and shared with compassion.

In our free time, yogis walked in the beautiful countryside and woodland, enjoyed wild swimming in the lake, warmed in the wood-fire sauna in the forest, relaxed with friends in the stunning spaces in our Victorian home or indulged in a luxurious massage. Some visited the sacred Celtic pilgrimage site of Glastonbury Tor or the historic medieval town of Frome. We shared a fire circle in friendship and sangha under the moon and stars on our last evening together.

Yoga friendship and kula were formed and we had a truly magical time together!
