Norfolk

LOCATION

Deep in the quiet heart of rural Norfolk and in easy distance from East London/Essex, close to the idyllic Norfolk broads, yet in quick reach of Norwich City and some fantastic beaches of Southeast England; the quaint village of Fishley, immersed in countryside pastures and the famous hall itself, with traditional English gardens, local willow and apple trees, makes the perfect setting for reflection, rest and self-care.

ACCOMODATION

Fishley Hall is a stunning country house that makes you feel at home, as soon as you step inside. Nestled in 350 acres of prime land and newly renovated, the 17^th Century Georgian period property accommodates up 16 people, with 8 luxurious bedrooms, 6 bathrooms and plenty of leisure spaces to be alone, relax or socialise. It has wonderful, light open spaces and even its own historical wishing well, plus a vaulted cellar with a large games room concealed behind a secret entry door.

FOOD

You can expect food and beverages that support your gut toward optimum functionality -this is all we need, and your body will thank you for it! Consider it healthy, nutrient rich food, made by skilled professionals; all beautifully served and with maximum taste, yet with minimum impact on the environment, using ethically sourced and seasonal ingredients from local suppliers. Strong believers in delivering nourishing food that satisfies, without getting lost in any fancy diets or nutrition fads -we aim to simply bring out the very best in your body’s performance and to delight!

YOGA & THERAPIES

On this weekend, we practice yoga in a beautiful spacious conservatory, overlooking traditional English countryside and beyond, with tranquil views to the neighbouring village.

Early morning yoga is with a short meditation and breath exercise to help us to ground, prior to beginning more of an energetic style of practice, to stimulate and wake the body. Evening Yoga is particularly more restful and luxurious, working into our bodies on a much deeper level, including plenty of individual attention with hands-on adjustments and massage –a super treat from us to you!

Afternoons are often spent with a few special workshops; each carefully curated toward supporting our body and mind to function at its best:

• Nutritional snack/beverage how to & tasting workshops
• Self-skin brushing/massage
• Sauna and cold plunge bath (to be confirmed)
• Soundbath immersion with special guest teacher
• Yoga Nidra (Yoga Sleep Meditation) with aromatherapy
• Guided walks into the neighbouring nature and Norfollk broads
• Jali Neti workshop (traditional Yogic nasal cleansing)
• Ceremonial Fire Pit Meditation

Note that we have over 15 scheduled activities during the weekend! Just remember that this is YOUR WEEKEND; you can join in as much, or as little as you wish, letting your body call upon what it needs –no one will bat an eyelid if you prefer to snooze, or read your book a little longer at any moment.

Those that can extend their day beyond checkout, we plan to meet at the nearest beach for some sea air before heading back toward London.
