TOP 5 U.K. RETREATS BY THE SEA
The more time we spend by the sea, the more we recognise that our lives can be just like the ocean. The constant coming and going, sometimes we are fiery, stormy, passionate and angry, sometimes we are calm, soft, slow and caring. The more we fight against the current, the more tired we become. The more we surrender with the flow, the more content we become. A weekend retreat can be start of self discovery and empowerment, exploring and living from the heart. Here’s our Top 5 retreats in the U.K.

Yeotown
Snapper, Devon, england
A warm welcome to Yeotown, the definitive home of complete wellbeing. Yeotown is based in rural North Devon where co-founders Mercedes Sieff and her husband Simon Sieff have nurtured and fine-tuned their shared vision of an authentic and original healthy lifestyle retreat, with its empowering and inspiring emphasis on true health and optimum wellbeing.
Their award winning 5 day programme is called the Yeotox. It is Yeotown’s modern take on a traditional detox but we are not a juice fast, boot-camp, or weight-loss holiday but rather a healthy lifestyle retreat. The programme is more focused on what you can gain rather than deprivation or restriction. A day may consist of some of the following: hiking, training, work out, mindfulness, meditation, cycling, cooking sessions, yoga, massage, reading, walking.
Yeotown’s very special location in the rustic and unspoiled wilds of North Devon brings its own unexpected rewards. Hiking across the moors in a fine mist that suddenly clears to reveal an astonishing view of Devon’s expansive Atlantic coast, will not only help improve your physical fitness but also connect you back to a sense of wellness. This connection to self might be difficult to attain until you take the time out to reboot and experience the healing powers of nature by simply being active and outdoors. There is no denying that what you get from their sanctuary in Devon is an opportunity to transform your life, whilst being nurtured in the comfort of ‘a home away from home’. https://www.yeotown.com/
