"This was my first ever retreat, and I'm also fairly new to yoga so had no idea what to expect. Let's just say I'm hooked and will definitely be returning!!! The venue was beautiful and everyone was so warm and welcoming to me. Lila our instructor was incredible, so warm and patient and there was no pressure. Also Justines Lomi massage was the best massage I've ever had!!! So if you are hesitant about booking a retreat, please don't wait I'm sure you will love every minute as much as I did". - Debbie 2017

Location - Eden Rise
Just two miles from Totnes, Eden Rise provides a beautiful environment for our yoga immersion. There are wide views to Dartmoor and access to seven acres extending to the Harbourne River. There are garden and yurt terraces around the barns with a hedgerow walk to a beacon lookout. Beyond is shared with others working the land which takes you through wooded fringes, down to the river and past great trees, with sculptures and shrines along the way; leading to the Santa Rosa labyrinth and the sheep grazing.
It's a place of community, sustainability and healing. A humble and deeply nurturing retreat center which instantly makes you feel at home within its cosy habitat.
The yoga room is the heart of each retreat, with underfloor heating it certainly provides a warm and inviting space for practice and relaxation.
