Renew + Restore: Spring Yoga Day Retreat

A nourishing spring retreat near Rugby to help you move, breathe deeply and restore your energy.

Do you ever reach spring feeling as though your energy hasn’t quite caught up with the change in season?

The days may be getting lighter and the natural world beginning to wake up, but that doesn’t always mean we immediately feel refreshed and ready to go.

Renew + Restore is a full-day spring yoga retreat at Cowslip Meadows, created to help you gently emerge from the slower winter months, reconnect with your body and make space for some new energy.

Set just 25 minutes from Rugby and tucked into the south Leicestershire countryside, the retreat brings together feel-good yoga, breathwork, meditation, myofascial release, Deep Stretch Yin, Restorative Yoga and Yoga Nidra.

There will also be nourishing food, a Seasonal Nature Experience with Leanne from Wild Routes UK, optional sauna time and plenty of space to pause and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

No pressure. No pretence. No need to be flexible.

Just a welcoming day to move, breathe, rest and come back to yourself.

Your Retreat Experience

Spring can bring a natural sense of possibility, but we don’t need to rush into it.

This retreat is about meeting the season gently: waking up the body, creating a little more space and energy, and taking time to notice what you might need as you move towards the lighter months.

We will begin with a welcome drink and time to settle in before moving into the first practice of the day. This will include breathwork, meditation, gentle movement and myofascial release to help you arrive and ease some of the tension you may be carrying.

The morning yoga practice will be a Feel-Good Flow, with enough movement to warm the body and lift your energy, while still leaving you feeling nourished rather than depleted.

Leanne from Wild Routes UK will then guide us through a Seasonal Nature Experience, giving us the opportunity to slow down, notice the signs of spring and connect more closely with the landscape around Cowslip Meadows.

After lunch, there will be free time to walk down to the lake, journal, chat, enjoy the grounds, use the outdoor sauna or simply find a peaceful spot with nothing you need to do.

The afternoon will be quieter and more restful, bringing together Deep Stretch Yin, Restorative Yoga and Yoga Nidra.

You’ll head home feeling calmer, more spacious and gently re-energised, ready to step into the new season in your own way.

Location

Cowslip Meadows is a peaceful countryside retreat venue in south Leicestershire, around 25 minutes from Rugby.

Surrounded by open meadows, a quiet lake and wide skies, it offers the feeling of getting away without having to travel far.

Our yoga home for the day is a bright, airy studio with views across the fields. The grounds also include an outdoor yoga shala and a wood-fired sauna.

The day has been planned to feel nourishing whatever the May weather brings, with a balance of indoor practice, time outdoors, good food and plenty of opportunities to rest.

As you drive up the hill into Laughton from Mowsley and the A5199, you’ll see the Laughton village sign on your left. Begin indicating right and look for the wooden, acorn-shaped gate set back from the road.

Join me for the day and give yourself the space to move, breathe and feel restored as we welcome the lighter months ahead.
