Diwali Light Yoga Retreat
West Lexham Barn, North Norfolk
4 – 7 October 2018
An authentic yoga celebration of Diwali, the Indian Festival of Lights
This luxury 19th century converted barn is located in the heart of north Norfolk countryside, only a short distance from the stunning, heritage beaches of Holkham and Wells-next-to-Sea.
West Lexham set is in 21 acres of rolling lawns, landscaped gardens, wild flowers, woodland glades, rivers, lakes and picturesque countryside walks.
West Lexham Barn was built in 1805 and has been beautifully converted with all its original character, space, light and rustic charm. The living spaces are filled with handmade furnishings and traditional log burners, creating a rustic, homely ambiance. The dining room has large windows, offering picturesque views of our beautiful garden. We have a conservatory and an outside dining table amongst the herbs and butterflies for al fresco dining on balmy summer evenings.
Our yoga classes take place in the spacious Harvest Room with its original ceiling and organic, antique charm.There are two full height windows on either side allowing natural light and views of the gardens to enhance and inspire your practice.
The luxury ensuite bedrooms are nestled in a courtyard around the barn, combining rustic charm with contemporary innovations. Reclaimed wood and original farm doors have been used along side the original timber beams to add splashes of colour and authenticity to the rooms. Each bedroom has original artworks and handmade curtains and cushions. All of the bedrooms and bathrooms have under floor heating and super comfortable mattresses with high quality cotton linen.
Your food will be lovingly prepared by The Nourish; offering delicious, innovative, vegetarian cuisine. A divine detox for total well-being.
On waking up in this stunning location, we will do an energising, yang Vinyasa Flow practice, blissfully infused with the grace of asana, flowing through breath towards a soft, meditative mind. Moving through beautiful sequencing and creative namaskars, we will explore elemental vinyasa, inspired by Diwali, the Indian Festival of Lights. These soulful practices create a sense of connection, openness and vibrancy, leaving you feeling lovingly energised, uplifted and alive. In the afternoons, we will surrender to a more restorative, yin practice, allowing your being to rest, renew and rejuvenate. You may also choose to indulge in a relaxing, luxurious massage with our wonderful therapist Sarah Jane Sexton.
In your free time, relax in the gardens, walk in the beautiful grounds, amongst the ancient woodlands along the rivers and lake. Leave your soul down by the sea on the stunning Norfolk beaches nearby. In the evenings, we will enjoy a delicious dinner, an outdoor fire circle and sadhana satsang.
On Saturday afternoon, our yoga class will be serenaded with soulful sounds of the harp and guitar, played live by Rafael Angulo and Lucidia Omamori. In the evening, this talented duo will perform their soulful songs and sweet harmonies for our musical retreat experience.
