An escape to the country simply isn’t complete without a wild adventure, and what better to experience nature than with an eco-farm yoga retreat! Nestled in the rolling hills of Hampshire, this charming getaway is straight out of a storybook. Wake up to cock’s crow, practise energising yoga flow classes in the fresh air and roam scenic trails through the forest. Yogis can also plunge into wild swimming and soothing massages. And the food? Well, it’s the icing on the cake, vegan-friendly of course.

This is the perfect weekend for those of you in need of choices and getting back to nature. With real eco-credentials, it is currently featured in the Guardian as “Pure Luxury in the Forest”. This farm stay is like no other. You will connect body and mind as you will play in and outdoors. Then, come back to your cosy and warm fires at the end of a full day. Make most of that sweet well-earned tiredness that comes from being truly engaged in life and jump into the roll-top bath.

Every room is stunning, from the loving roll top baths, to the viewing window to the chicks below. The farm has it all, with chances to chase lambs in spring to the autumn harvest straight to your plate. The yoga is just the icing on the cake, adding the movement and soul nurturing to this perfect retreat. Set only a few minutes outside a truly blessed hamlet with two fabulous gastro pubs and a community shop for anything you might have forgotten. It gets better by also being just moments walk out the forest.
The retreat will be located in New Forest only 80 minutes by train from London Waterloo or Clapham Junction. There are hundreds of bike trails through the forest on the doorstep and horse riding to name but a few. There are plenty of walking opportunities in the area. Just five minutes walk, there is the village of Pilley with two outstanding pubs, and less than two miles away is the stunning Lymington with lots of great pubs and restaurants. The nearest railway station is Brockenhurst.
You will be staying in luxury at the amazing eco farm-stay with a choice of lovely dorms, bunks, single, twin, double, or king rooms; all with shared bathrooms. Or new is a shepherds hut with underfloor heating, or a private studio annexe with a double bed, kitchenette, bathroom, terrace, a mile away next to the Pylewell Country Estate.
Food
During this retreat, you will be served daily meals and snacks. All the home-grown, homemade, and wonderfully wholesome food you could ask for including vegan cakes/cookies for snack time, plus beautiful breakfasts, lunches, and dinners - including puddings (the only thing you are detoxing from is digital here).

Program
Mornings start with pranayama (breathing) exercises followed by an energetic vinyasa flow class to challenge the mind and body. Programs vary by the group and their interests. Throughout the day, acro yoga, guided meditations, walks, wild swimming, yoga nidra, and massage treatments - including aromatherapy and deep tissue - are all on offer. There is also time to take a walk or bike ride through the surrounding trails. In the evenings, relax and release with Yin yoga classes.
The yoga practice
Two yoga classes will be taught each day. These classes will be open to all levels. While building strength and flexibility over the three days, these Vinyasa Krama classes will prioritize the development of breath and incorporate elements of chanting, pranayama, and meditation.

You will make space to breathe, and expand your connection to yourselves. Using unique and bespoke themes for each weekend, the yoga sessions and guided meditations are all interwoven with a deep awareness and response to the needs of the group. So no weekend is ever the same.
Each group has the chance to direct the pace and direction of the sessions. For example, one weekend the theme maybe say “negate the negative” and the group is a strong bunch of Ashtangis, so the retreat will end up being a stronger physical one with lots of meditation still snuck in when they are too tired to argue!
Or the group might be more mixed and then it would respond to that energy with more journaling and group work. It really depends on people, you, and plenty of time to explore different styles and levels within the yogic system.
Nova Milesko intends to create an environment in which you can truly drop off the grid recharge in nature and really engage with your surroundings and fellow yogis for a weekend of deep restoration. You will be asked to give up your digital toys(phones/laptops and more), but remember, everything is always optional.
