The Setting: Weston Park Estate
Upon arrival, the carriage courtyard will guide you through an enchanting entrance hall, where you'll be welcomed by Jess and Helen. From the outset, the distinct character of the house will begin to reveal its architectural elegance.
Highlights of the estate include:
-
A library with an extensive collection of over 2,000 books, and galleries of original Van Dyke and Gainsborough artworks and French Gobelin tapestries.
-
Natural pathways shaped by Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown, leading to the stillness of Temple Pool, the Roman Bridge, and the Walled Gardens, where The Greenhouse, The Maze and the Kitchen Gardens are quietly tucked away.
-
Individually designed en-suite bedrooms with antique details and beautifully preserved Victorian garden views
Weston Park is exclusively yours for the weekend; a rare opportunity to experience history, nature, and stillness in complete privacy. As you settle in, our in-house host will ensure your practical needs are met, so your attention can remain with the deeper work of the retreat, to rest and recalibrate.
Daily Yoga & Practices
Your retreat programme blends ancient wisdom with modern embodiment practices. You’ll be guided through the following morning and evening Yoga sessions designed to help your land fully in your body:
-
Sattva Hatha Yoga, Embodied Flow & Somatic Movement.
-
Yin, Yoga Nidra, Meditation, Breathwork, Chanting & Kriyas.
-
Evening fire ceremony & optional Ceremonial Cacao.
-
Closing with grounding practices and Satsang, creating a shared space to reflect, listen, and simply be, deepening our 'Sangha', (the community that holds us).
All practices are optional. While we gently encourage you to join and receive the full experience, nothing is compulsory. This is your time, your space, and your retreat, how you move through it is entirely your own.
Seasonal Food & Nourishment
Rooted in wellness, every meal is curated with estate-to-plate freshness and tailored to the winter season.
-
Morning smoothies, fruit & homemade granola bars to begin your day.
-
Full English breakfast with coffee & tea served after your yoga practice.
-
Seasonal evening meals, rooted in wellness.
-
Optional light lunches available to pre-order.
Each dish is designed to support deep rest and vitality during winter. As we’ll be eating twice in the morning, first a light offering, then a hearty late breakfast, we anticipate that lunch won’t be necessary before the evening meal. However, if you feel you’d like something more, lunch can be pre-ordered in advance.
Free Time & Exploration
Between sessions, guests are invited to slow down, explore and simply be. This is a space where doing less becomes a pathway to receiving more. We encourage you to disconnect from technology in order to truly connect, with yourself, with others, and with the natural world around you. Options include:
-
Wandering the grounds through 1,000 acres of parkland, walking without destination, reconnect with the pace of nature.
-
Sit in stillness beneath the ancient trees in Temple Wood.
-
Journal or reflect in one of the salons or private nooks.
-
Read slowly, select a title from the curated retreat library or bring a book long overdue for attention.
-
Nap without guilt, surrendering to the body’s seasonal need for rest.
-
Enjoy open conversation with fellow guests.
-
Practice self-guided movement, intuitive stretching, breathwork or floor-based stillness in a peaceful corner of the house.
-
Observe, sketch, or photograph the textures of the estate.
-
Simply be, no need to fill time, only to inhabit it fully.
Accommodation: Elevated Rest
Every guest enjoys private bedrooms, individually furnished with historic elegance and modern comfort. No shared rooms, no compromises.
-
En-suite or private bathrooms with rainfall showers and deep stone basins.
-
Antique furnishings and natural textures.
-
Crisp linen, weighted duvets & winter views stretching over 1,000 acres.

An atmosphere of refinement, stillness and deep rest.
Meet your hosts:
This retreat is lovingly guided by Jess and Helen, two facilitators who bring deep expertise and embodied wisdom to their teaching. Their shared approach is both intelligent and intuitive, rooted in ancient practice and grounded in lived experience.
Jess
Jess brings over a decade of global teaching experience to her work. Initially trained in India, and later in New Zealand, Australia, and the UK, she integrates traditional teachings with contemporary somatic science. Her qualifications include training in Embodied Flow™ as well as studying Somatic Breathwork and Movement for Trauma with The Embody Lab.
Currently in her final year of studying Psychology at the University of Manchester, she is committed to understanding the intricate connections between the human mind and body. Her classes are informed by non-dual Tantric philosophy, yogic mythology, and the sacred feminine, often weaving in the archetypal power of goddesses and ancient storytelling as tools for personal transformation.
Jess invites students into a deepened relationship with their own inner teacher. Her teachers include Scott Lyons, Adele Kinghan, Tymi Howard, Tara Judelle and Sally Kempton.
Helen
With over 30 years of experience in the performing arts, Helen brings a rare level of embodied insight to her yoga practice. Her journey began with Ashtanga, Iyengar, and Vinyasa, but it was Sattva Yoga, encountered during recovery from a life-changing injury, that became her anchor and ultimately, her path to teaching.
Helen studied under the guidance of Anand Mehrotra and the master teachers at Sattva Yoga Academy, Rishikesh, India, and with Jeff Lester in London, immersing herself in Himalayan wisdom traditions, kriya, and breath-led movement. Her teaching is intuitive and powerful, blending depth with approachability, and presence with grace.
Helen creates spaces that are transformational without pressure, rooted in ritual, and deeply honouring of each individual’s personal rhythm. Her work is guided by a belief in yoga not as performance, but as return, to stillness, to self, to source.
