Glastonbury Retreat
24-27 September 2026
Enjoy a 3-night retreat in the Somerset countryside at the foot of the legendary Glastonbury Tor. We take the time to reflect and renew as we head into the change of autumn through hatha yoga, meditation & yoga nidra (deep relaxation).
There will also be time to further relax and unwind by making use of the heated swimming pool & steam room on site. And of course we’ll take a walk up Glastonbury Tor.
Venue and Accommodation
For this retreat we will be staying at Middlewick just outside Glastonbury. This is a popular venue that we have used many times on retreats in the past. We use three separate cottages and there is a choice of either single or twin/double rooms, with some en-suite. Each cottage has its own sitting room and small kitchen for preparing drinks and snacks should you wish and there is a big communal space in the main house where we congregate for all our meals. Yoga classes take place in the purpose built hexagonal space.
Guests have access to the onsite swimming pool (free) and spa (additional cost).
Practices
Retreats provide an ideal opportunity to explore and develop your yoga and meditation practice. Throughout the weekend practices are built up systematically to ensure that whether you are new to yoga or an experienced practitioner you have the opportunity to truly explore the possibilities that lie within these time tested techniques. We hope you will leave with a wealth of practices and experiences to take back into your daily life.
Tulsi (Nickie) and Nick (Sw SatyaDaya) are passionate about the practices they share and aim to make these accessible and meaningful to all who attend.
On this retreat we will take the opportunity to work with practices that help us refresh and renew as we head into the autumn. Practices will include asana (physical postures), pranayama (breath awareness and expansion), Yoga Nidra (deep relaxation) and meditation.
