A nourishing autumn retreat near Rugby to help you release tension, restore your energy and feel more like yourself again.
Do you ever get to this point in the year and realise you have been holding a lot?
The summer has passed. Routines are back in place. The evenings are getting darker. Your body feels tense, your mind feels full, and proper rest keeps slipping to the bottom of the list.
Release + Replenish is a full-day autumn yoga retreat at Cowslip Meadows, created for those moments when you know you need more than a quick stretch or an early night.
Set at Cowslip Meadows, just 25 minutes from Rugby and tucked into the heart of south Leicestershire, this autumn retreat is a day to slow the pace, soften what you’ve been carrying, and replenish your body, mind and nervous system.
You will be gently guided through yoga, breathwork, meditation, myofascial release, Deep Stretch Yin, Restorative Yoga and Yoga Nidra, with nourishing food, time outdoors, optional sauna time and space to simply be.
No pressure. No pretence. No need to be flexible.
Just a welcoming day to step away from everyday life and come back to yourself.

Your Retreat Experience
This retreat has been created for the point in the year when everything can start to feel a little full.
The routines are back, the evenings are getting darker, and your body may be asking for more space, movement and proper rest.
Across the day, the practices will gently guide you out of the rush of everyday life and back into your body.
We will begin with a smoothie and protein + collagen ball before settling into the first practice of the day: a welcome circle, intention-setting, breathwork, meditation, slow movement and myofascial release to ease tension and help you arrive.
The morning yoga practice will be a Feel-Good Flow, with enough movement to warm the body and lift your energy, without pushing or depleting you.
After lunch, there will be time to walk to the lake, journal, chat, enjoy the grounds, use the outdoor sauna or simply sit quietly with nothing to do.
The afternoon will be all about deep release and rest, with Deep Stretch Yin, Restorative Yoga and Yoga Nidra to help your body soften and your mind settle.
You’ll head home feeling calmer, looser, steadier and better able to meet the season ahead.

“I slept so well last night. I feel like my nervous system has had a cuddle and permission to stand down. Everyone was friendly and the energy in the room was beautiful which I feel is guided by your energy. I really enjoyed the yoga and the venue is stunning and food is amazing!”
– Laura
“The venue was absolutely beautiful and had such a calming atmosphere from the moment we arrived. Every single person was so friendly, welcoming and genuinely lovely. The yoga practices were honestly incredible – all three sessions were amazing in different ways and I came away feeling relaxed, grounded and so happy. I’ve been so stressed recentluy and this was just the tonic I really needed. Thank you for creating such a wonderful experience. I’d absolutely love to come again.”
– Hilary
Location
Cowslip Meadows is a peaceful countryside retreat venue in south Leicestershire, around 25 minutes from Rugby.
With beautiful grounds, a calm indoor space, access to outdoor areas and an outdoor sauna, it offers the feeling of getting away without having to travel far.
The day has been planned to feel nourishing whatever the October weather brings, with a mix of indoor practice, rest, food, fresh air and time to enjoy the surroundings.
As you drive up the hill into Laughton from Mowsley/A5199 (which is the most likely route), you’ll see the Laughton village sign on your left. Begin indicating right, and you’ll spot a wooden, acorn-shaped gate set back from the road.
Join me for the day and give yourself space to slow down, release what you’ve been carrying, and feel replenished.
