Fantastic Week at the Calvert Trust
I enjoyed the retreat immensely. There were four highlights:-
Gill’s session on the philosophy at the centre of Yoga.
Gill and Tara’s hands on approach to teaching. That helped me commit to the practice, to explore new ways of being in my body
The magical landscape in which Calvert is situated
The strength of connection between everyone in the group
Calvert trust
Yes, the room did have everything including the equipment requested
My bed was comfortable and I was grateful that it was electric.
The vegan food was fine, tasty. The chef seemed very accommodating
The staff were great. I was so impressed with how they encouraged guests to ask if they needed anything. Every time I asked. they responded immediately.
The YHET retreat was excellent: it nourished my mind, body and soul.
Calvert Devon is in a beautiful setting, with swallows swooping and birds of prey circling overhead. The staff are friendly, flexible and go the extra mile to meet individual access requirements. While the food may not be gourmet, the vegan options were hearty and delicious
The yoga was the best. Although I attended the retreat primarily for social reasons, thanks to the skill, empathy and confidence of the teachers, I am now hooked. Even after three short days, I felt something shift within my heart. It seems to me yoga practice is all about the breath. How one’s body does or does not function is very much a secondary concern as far as the yoga practice is concern.
My one hesitation in recommending the retreat is spaces are limited – and I want one (plus one for my assistant).
