Yoga Retreat Weekend

Thursday 6th – Sunday 9th November 2025

We’re thrilled to be bringing together an incredible team to host our first ever Yoga and Wellness retreat this November.

Promised to be a weekend of self-care and self-indulgence with a close connection to nature, join us to get grounded for winter and take time for yourself away from your busy schedule.

Picture roaring fires, cosy nooks to relax in, daily practices to nourish yourself such as meditation and yoga (all experience levels are welcome), plus homemade, delicious meals, stylish & comfortable bedrooms, and much more.

This weekend can be tailored to you, and you can choose to take part in as much as you like. Whatever you choose, this retreat will be the ultimate self-care weekend and a perfect way to set yourself up for the winter.

Netherbyres is surrounded by acres of beautiful woodland, so you’ll feel connected to nature as you wander the grounds or partake in a bit of mindful meditation.

Our bedrooms are perfect for sharing with a loved one, so why not come along with your partner, bestie, sibling or mum to share a relaxing weekend together.

Sunday

All activities, sessions and meals are completely optional, if you feel you’d like to pick and choose which ones you attend, that’s absolutely fine.

Gemma: Teacher and Therapist

“I’m Gemma, founder of Gower Wild Wellbeing. I am a yoga teacher, ayurvedic therapist and ecotherapist specialising in therapeutic nature connection. I’ve been teaching yoga for over 10 years, originally training in Sivananda style yoga, then going on to study Ashtanga, Yin and specialising in Prenatal yoga and Yoga Nidra. The style I now lead is quite unique, combining elemental visualisations, pranayama, and a strong vinyasa flow balanced with gentle yin postures. All yoga will be tailored to your needs and we’ll be offering lots of different options in order to keep it enjoyable and inclusive. These yoga classes are great for everyone, from complete beginners to more experienced practitioners.

To combine yoga with ecotherapy I will be leading both indoor yoga sessions in the cosy warmth of Netherbyres house, as well as gentle nature focused mindfulness workshops outside in the beautiful grounds and woodlands of Netherbyres.”

Millie: Chef

“My name is Millie and I am a self taught cook with over 15 years experience in the kitchen. To me, food is so important not only for our bodies but also for our communities. It brings people together in day to day life and also in celebration. That’s what I love about cooking for people.
My experience ranges from huge commercial kitchens creating handmade bakes and preserves, to cooking for the elderly & people with complex needs and diets. I trained in nutrition during my Health and Social Care career and I understand the complexity of an individual’s needs and diet. Food is medicine after all.

For the past 7 years I’ve run a not for profit food waste initiative that intercepts perfectly edible food from heading to landfill. We create wholesome meals in our community café from this food and serve it on a pay what you can basis.

My passion lies in food and bringing people together so I am so excited to meet you and cook you delicious meals that I hope you’ll find just as nourishing as all the other loveliness at this retreat.”
