4-day yoga retreat on Koh Phangan focusing on breath, sound, and movement.

Lula, the teacher, is incredibly authentic and has a remarkable ability to bring her own learning into the classroom. I really admire her honesty in her teaching practice. She’s such an inspiring individual who’s helping me stay motivated on my learning journey.

Unfortunately, I went out for a morning stroll along a mile of a country lane and ended up spending the whole afternoon picking up two refuse sacks of rubbish. I have been litter picking since 2007 and I just can’t pass by without taking care of it. Luckily, I had my trusty litter picker and refuse sacks stored in the trunk of my car. From the moment I arrived to the moment I left, I give everything a perfect 10. Thank you!

I absolutely loved the location! The space and surrounding countryside were so wonderful.
The first evening’s meditation gave me such a sound sleep that I didn’t even notice the thunder and lightning, despite having the door to my balcony wide open. However, the owls did wake me up early in the morning. It was sublime.
Lula, our teacher, was fantastic. She made sure we were all comfortable in our poses and took the time to answer any individual questions we had about things outside of the practice.
The food was delicious, plentiful, and super-healthy.
I’m definitely going to go again because I came back feeling lighter in spirit and with intentions that I hope to carry forward into the future.

Overall, we had a lovely retreat and an amazing weekend away. However, the accommodation could use a little tlc. The handle on our French doors was broken, and there were a few other things that needed fixing in our room.

But, despite that, the overall facilities were good. The setting was so serene, with beautiful nature right on our doorstep. And the best part? There was no noise!

We really enjoyed the variety of classes they offered, with options for both beginner and advanced yogis. Plus, the group bonded really well, and there was such a friendly vibe.

The massage was absolutely fantastic, and the jacuzzi and the large swing (which was actually suitable for adults) were incredible too. It was a real opportunity to just relax, have fun, and take care of ourselves.

We had some early teething problems with the room accommodation – it was small and didn’t have a bin. The shared bathrooms were also quite cramped and lacked space for toiletries. They were heavily used by everyone. Personally, I think the lack of recycling was a definite issue.

At first, it seemed like there was a miscommunication between the administration and the chef regarding my dietary restrictions. However, Holly, the chef, was absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond to accommodate my needs and prepare delicious food for me.

I must say, Lula is an incredible teacher. I learned so much from her and I truly felt transformed by the experience. The program was well designed and the location was absolutely beautiful.

I was surprised to find a wide range of room styles and sizes at the retreat. Some rooms were huge with circular beds and balconies, along with lovely facilities. However, the room I was assigned to was tiny. It only had enough space for a bed and a cabinet, which was a bit disappointing. The room didn’t even have a bin, so I had to take my rubbish down to the communal kitchen bin. It was quite inconvenient since I didn’t have a carrier bag or anything to use. The room also lacked a mirror, even though there was plenty of wall space for one. The display cabinet in the room was pretty but not practical for storage.

On the bright side, the retreat was located in a beautiful and peaceful area. It was easily accessible by taxi from the local train station. The food at the retreat was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. Everything was healthy, vegan, and there was plenty of it!

Our instructor, Lula, was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Her classes were a great balance – they were accessible for all attendees but also challenging for those looking for more. We were also lucky enough to have access to a fabulous hot tub. One evening, a group of us enjoyed it and, afterward, we were greeted by a clear sky full of stars. It made the experience even more memorable.

I don’t have any complaints except for the fact that I keep hitting my head on the ceiling in the bathroom! The yoga classes were great with a wide range of options for all skill levels. The atmosphere was very welcoming and everything was well-organized. Lula, our teacher, was amazing – she was knowledgeable and always ready to lend a hand. And let’s not forget the late-night jacuzzi session, it was a real treat! The bedroom was lovely, bright, and had a balcony which added to its charm.

I had a longer journey than I expected, so when I arrived in the dark, I thought the signposts to the gate entrance could have been clearer. Thankfully, a kind neighbour redirected me. The location was absolutely beautiful, perfect for a fantastic weekend. I loved all the yoga classes, and Lula, the yoga teacher, was amazing – she was skilled, caring, and nurturing. The group of people attending were also lovely and supportive, and the meals were absolutely amazing. The surroundings were stunning, and the hot tub was an added bonus. Oh, and I have to mention how comfortable the beds were. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. X

Nothing! We introduced a full range of Yoga modes including postures, Nidra, qigong, meditation, nutrition, and philosophy. Lula, our leader, is exceptionally skilled and attuned to the varying levels within our group. As for me, I’m a complete beginner. Oh, and let’s not forget the delicious food! This weekend retreat was truly wonderful.

The advert and all correspondence implied that the hot tub was included and hinted at the availability of wild swimming nearby, but it turned out that neither of those things were true. Only residents of a nearby hotel could enjoy the wild swimming location, and the hot tub was not part of the package. Despite those disappointments, the retreat offered stunning surroundings, delicious food, and diverse yoga sessions that provided an enjoyable challenge.

“I thought the venue was too small for a yoga retreat. We couldn’t find a room big enough to accommodate all of us for a yoga session. Thankfully, we were able to go outside. They advertised a hot tub, but when we arrived, we were told we had to pay an extra £80! The holiday suggested swimming in a local lake, but when we called Ashburnham Estates, we found out it’s only for residents. As for walks in the woodland, there were no maps or information available to show us the way. To top it off, we were rudely rushed out of the building by some angry cleaners! On the bright side, the setting is absolutely gorgeous and offers breathtaking views. Our instructor, Lula, is an incredible woman. I’ve learned so much from her; she’s extremely knowledgeable and has the most beautiful voice. I could listen to her for hours! And let’s not forget the food, it was absolutely delicious – healthy and packed with flavor.”

In a conversational tone and active voice:

I had an incredible first yoga retreat experience! The surroundings, food, and the people I met from different walks of life were all amazing. But the real highlight was Lula and Ruth – they were absolutely fantastic. The yoga itself was excellent, but what really stood out for me was the meditation and spiritual aspects. It took me on a powerful journey of self-discovery. The peaceful surroundings added to the whole experience, making it even more special.

I can’t recommend this retreat enough to anyone considering it. It truly made me reconsider a lot of things and inspired me to make some important life changes.

A big thank you to Lula for guiding me on this incredible journey.

We’re going home! Lula delivered all the yoga and meditation sessions flawlessly, always adapting them to fit our group’s desires and requirements. The advice and nutrition teaching blew us away! Lula, being such a wise and inspirational woman, has reignited my passion for yoga, improved my diet, and transformed my relationship with myself. This retreat was truly excellent.

We had such a lovely group of fellow attendees! The food blew us away, the yoga class taught us so much and gave us a great workout, and the massage was absolutely heavenly!

The room has no heat.

I was really disappointed with the yoga classes. The teacher kept going on about things that didn’t make sense at all, and the classes were so confusing. Plus, the space to practice in was ridiculously cramped. On the bright side, the food tasted delicious, even though the portions were tiny!

Initially, we had some trouble finding the location, but fortunately, someone provided us with helpful directions. They offer a fantastic variety of yoga activities, ranging from gentle movement exercises to more vigorous workout sessions. I really enjoyed the way they planned the sessions throughout the day, and the food they served was not only delicious but also healthy. And let me tell you, Valerie and Lula were so warm and friendly! They not only gave us great advice for healthy living but also made our experience even better.

The indoor space may have been slightly on the small side for our group practices, but it didn’t really affect what we were able to do. The timetable gave us a nice structure, yet still allowed plenty of time for relaxation, and it worked well alongside mealtimes. I really appreciated the great variety of classes, especially since I hadn’t had any previous experience with face-to-face yoga teaching. And let me tell you, the food was absolutely fantastic! The indoor and outdoor spaces, along with the breathtaking views, made for a perfect setting. Plus, the instructors were not only knowledgeable, but also fun and truly inspiring.

Perhaps you could recommend some local walking/hiking routes to explore during our free time. I absolutely adored the location and the accommodations, as well as the yoga, movement, and sound sessions. The weather was a major plus, allowing us to enjoy some sessions on the lawn. Amber, our teacher, is incredible and has such a beautiful soul. Hollie, the chef, prepared the most incredible food throughout my entire stay. Oh, and Abbey gave an amazing massage that perfectly complemented the whole experience. It was so nice to meet like-minded people and to try out different types of yoga. Overall, it was a great, fun-filled trip that left me feeling completely Zen.

I would only change one thing – adding some more yoga. Maybe doing 3 or 4 sessions a day would have been perfect for me, since I’m such a big fan of yoga! This yoga retreat was my first, and I can honestly say I loved every minute of it. The peaceful countryside setting, the wonderful group of people, and the incredibly delicious fresh food made everything absolutely amazing. Amber and Holly were both incredibly lovely and made me feel so welcomed. Thank you, lovelies! I’ll definitely be coming back!

Lula truly amazed me with the experience she led. I left feeling remarkably lighter than when I arrived. Everything, from the food to the accommodation, exceeded my expectations. I’ll always treasure my time there and eagerly anticipate my next visit.

We had an amazing peaceful weekend getaway at this retreat! The food blew us away, and the yoga catered to everyone, regardless of their ability level. We had a diverse group ranging from complete beginners to seasoned yoga teachers, but everyone got along well and made us feel welcome. Our teacher, lovely Lula, had an impressive knowledge of health, nutrition, and how the body works. She introduced us to a variety of yoga and meditation techniques, so each class was unique and kept us engaged. My accommodation was beyond perfect – I had the comfiest bed all to myself, making me feel like I was floating on a cloud! Waking up to the sound of sheep outside was like being in a dream. And I can’t forget to mention the excellent massage I got as well!

I highly recommend it! You can learn loads from the quality of professionals there. The lovely countryside surroundings, plus the ability to enjoy a massage session on the premises, are amazing. And the proximity of the seaside makes it perfect for stunning sunset views and swimming.

In my opinion, everything was perfect – I would definitely come again. This retreat was the best gift I could have given myself after such a challenging year. The house we stayed in was so beautiful, surrounded by nature. Amber’s teachings were absolutely amazing. One of the best parts of the weekend was definitely trying out so many new styles of yoga and meditation. I really loved the free movement workshop. Holly’s nourishing vegan cooking was a real treat for both my body and my soul. And Abby’s massage was incredible and really revitalized me. I’ve come back home feeling so much better and full of energy. Thank you so much for such a fantastic break!

I just attended my first yoga retreat, and it definitely won’t be my last! The classes introduced me to so many different forms of yoga and meditation, and even qigong. The food they served was absolutely incredible, and the venue itself was so secluded and serene. Val and Lula, the instructors, brought the most amazing energy to the weekend, and everyone else who attended was so warm and welcoming. Honestly, everything about it was amazing. It was exactly the kind of reset I needed!

Amber’s sessions had the perfect balance of calming and energizing. The food was wholesome and delicious, and the location was beautiful – it was simply perfect!

It was only 2 days, 2 nights, which would have been better if it were 3 or 4 nights, but considering this limitation, it was excellent. I also faced some difficulties with the payment through Paypal, which could potentially be an issue with the Bookyogaretreats company as a whole. The space, the teacher, the food, the ambiance, and the amazing guests were all great. Overall, it was an excellent experience.

I really loved almost everything about this place. The location is absolutely beautiful – it really makes you feel like you’re in the heart of nature. Amber’s created an environment that transports you to a whole different reality, and it helped me relax like I’ve never done before.

And let me tell you, the food here is amazing! I haven’t had such a fantastic meal outside of my own home in months. The yoga and meditation classes are also perfect for beginners like me – they’re so clear and easy to follow.

Honestly, the whole experience has been incredible. I can’t recommend it enough.

We didn’t dislike anything. We liked everything. They had a good balance of different yogas and meditation, and the food was excellent. They also provided us with nutritional advice. The company was very enjoyable.

Getting to the location was a breeze. You could easily reach it, and once you got there, you found yourself immersed in the stunning scenery of the beautiful Kent countryside. It was the perfect backdrop for a leisurely stroll during your free time, offering plenty of lovely scenery to enjoy. The atmosphere there was incredibly relaxed and friendly, making you feel right at home. As for the yoga sessions, they were just right – not too demanding or intense, but with a good emphasis on meditation. And let’s not forget about the food, which was absolutely top-notch, leaving you completely satisfied.

The house in Kent was stunning, and it had everything you’d need for a relaxing weekend. Amber went above and beyond to make sure everyone’s yoga practice was tailored to their needs. As a beginner, Amber always had alternatives for me, which was fantastic. The food was incredibly tasty and nutritious, and now I have loads of inspiration to experiment with new recipes.

I really loved Amber’s style and all the classes she taught. And you know what? I absolutely love the space in between classes. Oh, and I just adored Amber’s soft, gentle approach.

I couldn’t hear everything Amber said when we practiced outside. The venue disappointed me because the main road was so close. I expected Amber to raise her voice during the outdoor sessions, so a few of us finally mentioned it to her. The food was excellent, and the yoga sessions were well-thought out. They gave our whole body a stretch over the 3 days. Plus, we had a small group of attendees.

You should do more yoga.
The massage room feels like someone converted a storage space.
The intro circle seems kind of childish. Asking about favorite color? Really? How about asking “What’s your relationship with yoga? Where are you from? What do you do?” Also, let’s talk about the surroundings, the house, the location, the food, and the cooking workshop.

I loved having the time and space to connect with nature, relax, and unwind. The yoga classes offered a great variety, making it perfect if you’re interested in trying different types. Personally, I had a great time with yin and partner yoga. The food served was absolutely delicious and light, with plenty of fruits and vegetables. Thank you so much, Ele.

We found the whole event flawless only when we had to leave! My sister and I absolutely loved everything about it. The warm welcome, the delicious food, and the beautiful spaces, including the bedrooms and communal areas, were all fantastic. It felt so cozy with the lovely lighting, plants, wood burner, and AGA. Plus, the hot tub and the sheep nearby were such a great bonus. The yoga sessions, massage, nutrition workshop, and the free time to just relax were perfectly balanced. We also took a nice walk into the town center and even had time to explore the local museum, Maison Dieu. Amber and Kayleigh were so engaging and accommodating, and we left feeling completely refreshed.

I would only change having less free time and doing more yoga, but everything else was excellent!

My friend and I experienced such an amazing time! We met incredible people and absolutely loved the different yoga sessions – Amber is such a talented teacher and a super welcoming host. Plus, Kayleigh’s food was absolutely delicious! I highly recommend it!

I wish it was longer! This retreat exceeded all my expectations and more. The food, even though I’m not a vegetarian, was some of the best I’ve ever had. Amber, our host, was truly one of the kindest and calmest people I’ve ever met. The variety of yoga sessions was fantastic. The group of ladies was just perfect, and I felt so relaxed and connected to everyone. The retreat itself is situated in beautiful fields, allowing you to go for walks or simply sit back and read during your free time. The itinerary was perfectly organized, and if there’s a massage available, I highly recommend taking one – it was amazing! I wouldn’t think twice about booking another retreat.

I wouldn’t change a thing – I absolutely loved everything about it! Amber was such a beautiful person from the start, and her yoga style was fantastic. The food prepared by Kaylee (apologies if I spelled that wrong) was absolutely incredible. I’ve already tried out a few of her recipes and I’m loving them! The house was absolutely stunning and it felt like home right away.

This retreat has definitely set the bar for future ones, and I can’t wait to go back with Amber <3

Thank you for providing us with such a wonderful experience and creating a space for us to truly let go 🙂

Lots of love,
Kayla

I had the most amazing weekend! It was a perfect blend of different yoga sessions, meditation, group activities, and some much-needed time for myself. The house we stayed in was absolutely beautiful, and there were so many cozy spots to relax, including a hot tub with breathtaking views.

Amber, our instructor, was fantastic. She made everyone feel comfortable and at ease during the sessions, while also leaving us feeling refreshed and empowered. Her knowledge about yoga was impressive.

Kayleigh, the chef, made the most delicious food. Not only was it tasty, but she was also patient with all the questions I had about her cooking. It really inspired me to change my own cooking habits. It was just perfect. Thank you so much!
