I believe that art has a natural affinity with yoga and mindfulness, and this art and yoga retreat is designed to bring all of these together for a day of complete relaxation, reflection and fun.

At the end of the retreat you can expect to come away feeling energised, relaxed and inspired, having tried lots of new things, and with some tips and ideas for how you could continue with these practices afterwards.

The day is aimed at people with no previous experience of drawing, mindfulness or yoga, although if you have some experience of one or more of these areas you will still get a lot from the day, and the sessions will be tailed to your ability and experience. There will be plenty of time and space for reflection at the end of each session and the end of the day.

The art and yoga retreat will be held in Ripon College, which is located in a very peaceful country setting, with lovely views across the fields (from the room we will be using for the yoga and drawing sessions) and space to relax outside if the weather allows.

And the mindfulness session will be in the stunningly beautiful architecturally award winning Bishop Edward King Chapel.

Cost: £170 (or book with a friend and you will both receive £15 off your booking).

The price includes all your refreshments (including a 3 course lunch, and fruit and cake mid-morning and afternoon), your art materials and a goodie bag at the end of the day.
