Join me for 3 nights of heart-led practice in the enchanting peak district. This retreat is an invitation to dance between rest and play, being and becoming, surrender and inspiration, and to return home to the wholeness of wonderful you. Immerse yourself in the abundance of early summer with morning meditation, twice-daily movement practices, nourishing food, plenty of rest, waterfall swims, sunsets barefoot on the grass, bespoke treatments and so, so much more.
The movement practices will be a mix between vinyasa, pilates, energy in motion in the morning & more restorative movement practices in the evening. As with all of my retreats, the weekend will be carried by a theme that you are invited to contemplate and connect with in your own way. This retreat will be ‘the dance of shakti’.
Shakti means ‘power’ in sanskrit; it is the divine feminine energy - the creative force & play which animates and sustains the entire universe. According to yoga (Tantrik) philosophy, everything that exists is shakti and therefore all is sacred - life is a divine play (Leela) to be experienced & worshipped. When we practice, we are tapping into our own aliveness, radiance, vitality & power - through breath, movement, awareness, meditation, contemplation & presence, we move from our limited thinking minds and into the living, luminous field of the body where we remember our innate connection to the tapestry of life.
We are offering this retreat with the option of a non-refundable deposit of £450 per person, with remaining balance being paid in instalments. See Terms & Conditions.

OPENING TO GRACE GUEST 2026
THE VENUE & LOCATION
Our home for the long weekend is the truly exquisite ARC peaks, which perfectly strikes the balance between design-led luxury & raw, wild, untouched beauty. The former printworks has been meticulously renovated to offer a boutique-hotel worthy stay with all rooms including luxury mattresses, egyptian cotton bedding & organic toiletries. The venue includes a truly stunning swimming pool, yoga studio, cinema room, wood-fired hot tub, sauna and the most beautiful 30 person dining table.
The peak district is an area of wild, raw beauty with lush green forests, roaring rivers, waterfalls to swim in and breathtaking views that stretch forever. My intention with choosing this very unique venue was that you feel both deeply cared for, held and also inspired by the spiralling, non-linear beauty of nature.

YOUR HOSTS
TAYLER
My entire life is inspired by and led from the wisdom of yoga. My practice is living, breathing and embodied; it continuously allows me to navigate both the beauty and complexity of this life with greater joy, ease, trust and humility. It is from a place of deep reverence and devotion that I am a facilitator - I practice daily. My practices are guided from the heart and the knowing that each body in the space is already completely Whole, yet completely unique. My style of teaching is intuitive, nourishing, playful and fluid. My offerings are often inspired by nature's cyclical rhythm and are fundamentally about guiding people back to the felt sense of their own aliveness and the deep stillness of their natural, unconditioned state. I see movement and stillness as doorways to freedom and my teaching is supported and inspired by 1000s of hours of training across Yoga (vinyasa, ashtanga vinyasa, hatha, restorative), Pilates (mat & reformer with Polestar Pilates), Somatics, Myofascial release and the luminous tradition of non-dual shaiva tantra from which my own practice is deeply led by. I have been teaching yoga full time for 7 years and have been leading retreats since 2021. Over this time, I have learnt how to refine the delicate balance between structure and freedom on retreat - the dance between feeling held and supported whilst also feeling like there is enough space to make the experience what you want/ need it to be. Everything on retreat is an invitation.
BETH
Through fascination of the connection between mind and body I delved in to the world of body and facial massage 10 years ago. As someone who felt a painful level of disconnect throughout adolescence, I was intrinsically led to helping and understanding others through these modalities. They were the gateway to my own continued healing adventure, cultivated in the universal language of touch. I am very grateful to my endlessly inspiring purpose that allows me service to others. Throughout my development I have worked at Spas, Retreats, Wellness events and Festivals. While opening my own studio in the Forest of Dean in 2022, where I currently practice from. I work Intuitively and holistically providing restorative and tension relieving treatments. I am playful in practice, incorporating dynamic and static stretching influenced by eastern techniques. While honouring stillness, intention and breath to stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system. I invite you to surrender to the transformative power of healing touch as I meet you wherever you are at. Retreat treatment offerings - Facial work Inspired by the interplay of modern facial massage tenqichues and traditional rituals such as Gua sha and cupping to deliver stimulating, energetic and sculpting Facial work. Bodywork attuned to your body's cues and rhythms. Allowing me to intuitively work and understand your unique needs in crafting a personalised full body treatment to restore harmony in mind and body.
