Rest, Rebalance and Restore

Winter Yoga Retreat: Somerset

Friday 2nd January - Monday 5th January 2026

Join Gillian for a weekend of winter yoga and meditation in the beautiful environment of 42 Acres - an eco-retreat centre in the Somerset countryside

Recover from the excesses of the festive season and take some time out at the beginning of the New Year to rebalance and re-centre in the peace and quiet of the remarkable and much-talked-about retreat centre - 42 Acres - in the heart of rural Somerset.

Enjoy heart-warming community, incredible plant-based food prepared by retreat chefs in a beautiful spacious farmhouse kitchen and then unwind in the cosy spaces where you can relax by log-burning stoves.

Practice alignment-based yoga with Gillian morning and evening to cultivate strength and vitality and deep restorative healing. The yoga practice at 42 Acres is in a gorgeous Mongolian yurt. You might also enjoy the outdoor wood-fired sauna and winter walks on the land, or for the brave-at-heart, wild swimming in the lake.

“The land at 42 Acres has been allowed to rewild and this can be felt viscerally by all who visit.

With a wide range of beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces nestled in nature, this is a setting that invites reconnection with nature, self, and others.”

“A winter retreat is a chance to get away and return to your self, to find peace, and quiet and the practices of yoga that allow us to come home to a sense of centre and ground.

The first weekend of the New Year is the ideal time to contemplate what you want to leave behind from the previous year and what you want to bring into being in the months ahead.

Set your intentions around the fire at night and plant the seeds of your determinations in the winter gardens of 42 Acres.

Cultivate and explore on retreat, the self-care practices that will see you through the transformations you want to bring about in 2026”

Enjoy an inspiring and

vibrant winter menu

The design and rustic heart of beautiful and cosy accommodation at 42 Acres makes for a perfect retreat experience: the privacy of elegant but simple rooms compliments the vibrant communal spaces for eating and relaxing by the fire.
