For many years YHET has provided Accessible Yoga retreats for those who have mobility issues. We are now able to provide this opportunity again. Our teachers have many years of experience and we can’t wait to explore yoga with you.
Join us at the Calvert Trust Centre, Exmoor for five days of gentle and accessible yoga, meditation and pranayama with experienced and knowledgeable teachers. Experience delicious food and like-minded company in lovely surroundings.
This 5-day retreat is suitable for people who find it difficult to participate in a general yoga class and those with illnesses eg M.S., M.E., heart disease, stroke, arthritis, cancer, parkinson’s, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, stress, anxiety etc.
Each day after breakfast there will be a 90 minute accessible and gentle yoga session, followed by a meditation session. After lunch you have the option to have some free time, join an activity run by the Calvert Trust Centre or join us for an afternoon yoga related session. The activities participated in will be group activities, decided by the YHET teachers, and supported by the Calvert team as being appropriate activities for the attending group. In the evenings there will be time for socialising with others in the group or participating in an evening event run by the Calvert Trust. All sessions are voluntary and there will be plenty of time for rest and relaxation. You will need to bring your own yoga mat and any blocks, belts and blankets that you use. The full programme will be sent to participants prior to the retreat.
