SOULFIT YOGA & FITNESS RETREAT
Friday 27th - Sunday 29th June with Julie Kamel & Gyles Abbott
Hawthbush Farm, Gun Hill, East Sussex
This unique weekend merges Fitness & Yoga with our favourite South Downs location, Hawthbush Farm.
At Soulfit, we’re known for our incredible teachers, the brilliant variety of sessions we offer and our uniquely welcoming community, where our people feel part of something very special. Our retreats are a complete extension of this.
As you step away from your busy lives, you’ll be guaranteed a weekend of rest, recharge & rejuvenation brought to you by our
Soulfit team, who’ll do nothing but go the extra mile to look after your every need.
Offering a colourful menu of delicious, nutritious & sustainably sourced vegetarian food & a host of thoughtfully considered treats,
we guarantee this will be the most memorable & magical break you could wish for.
Bringing together the talents of our legendary Soulfit teachers Julie & Gyles, a typical day will begin with an optional morning run through this ancient organic farmland - home to skincare range Amly and craft beer company Gun Brewery - followed by a gorgeous morning yoga practice.
We’ll then get your heart pumping & endorphins flowing with our fitness sessions, designed to build strength & relieve stress.
Of course, please know that all activities and sessions are optional, this is entirely your weekend.
After a delicious, nutritious lunch, the afternoon will be yours to enjoy in the comforts of these beautiful surroundings; being pampered with an optional deeply, relaxing massage; sauna, hot-tub & cold water plunge the private spa area or simply taking time out to read & absorb the peace as you enjoy a walk around the farm.
Evenings will be calming and relaxing, with the perfect combination of an immersive yoga experience and a sumptuous, nutritious feast, allowing you to completely wind-down, snuggle up, star-gaze and switch off from any external challenges you’ve left firmly behind the Hawthbush gates.
"What an amazing weekend. A great combination of yoga, fitness & relaxation with a view to die for!
I've eaten like a queen & am feeling recharged. Soulfit are the top of their game!
Thank you for giving me an experience I much needed". Felicity
