Yoga Weekend Retreat in Ashdown Forest
Two days of Renewal, Practice & Connection
Deepen your yoga, nourish your body, and rest in nature at Emerson College, Ashdown Forest.
📅 7–8 March 2026
📍 Emerson College, Ashdown Forest, East Sussex
🌿 Private dorm accommodation + all meals included
Treat yourself to a spacious weekend dedicated to movement, quietude and reconnection.
Set in the magical Ashdown Forest — the home of Winnie-the-Pooh — this retreat offers time away from daily life to breathe, explore, rest and restore.
Inspired by the grounding clarity of Iyengar Yoga and the healing beauty of nature, the weekend combines:
- Four carefully sequenced yoga sessions
- Guided restorative practices
- Pranayama and meditative moments
- Farm-to-table meals cooked with care
- Forest bathing walks
- Space for reflection and personal questions
- Indeed, a nourishing escape from the city’s hustle and bustle.
What´s included?.
- Four Iyengar Yoga Classes: Across the weekend, you’ll experience a balanced program of yoga with dynamic sessions, suitable for all levels; restorative practices, postures supported by props to quieten the nervous system and restore energy; moments of silence, introspection and guided awareness to support inner steadiness; and pranayama -- gentle, accessible and grounding.
- Shared Vegetarian & Biodynamic Meals:
All meals are lovingly prepared with produce grown on the College grounds.
Expect wholesome, seasonal, plant-based dishes — nourishing, simple and deeply satisfying.
Tea, refreshments and fruit are available throughout the retreat.
Plus: a cosy café on site for the most delicious chai lattes should you wish to indulge.
- Accommodation: One night in a private dorm room (shared toilets, clean and comfortable — typical retreat centre simplicity)
Light, quiet spaces in a peaceful environment that supports rest and sleep
- Forest Walks & Quiet Time: The retreat includes guided or self-led walks in the Ashdown Forest — a landscape of open heath, ancient woods, ponds and gentle hills.
This is the very forest that inspired Winnie-the-Pooh, making it a magical setting for reflection and reconnection.
- Can I attend alone? Absolutely. This retreat includes good friends. Many participants come on their own and find the weekend welcoming and friendly.

‘I was worried about not being flexible enough, but now I'm more flexible in every class, I see my progress.‘

‘I only go to gyms that offer Rosana's classes. Once you find someone who knows how to guide you, it's stupid to keep trying other things.’
Jamie Sonet
‘The experience of a retreat with Rosana can only be described from the heart, and I cannot find the words. It leaves you feeling lighter.‘
