In today's fast-paced world, the concept of "slow living" has emerged not as a luxury but as a necessity. Combining that with celebrations, multigenerational holidays and gatherings takes another level of alchemy, its is not one detail, it is a million details, creating luxurious spaces, a sense of calm, a slower pace and the wide open spaces, time to connect, share, laugh and just be.

Discover how a Cider House getaway embodies slow living, rekindles stolen focus and rejuvenates your wellbeing in today's hectic world.

FEW SPOTS LEFT for Gem Yoga's upcoming 40HR 4-day Yin Yoga Teacher Training course at The Cider House, Buckland Abbey, Devon. ☯️

Open to yoga teachers and students 🙏

Monday 28th April - Thursday 1st May 2025
9am - 6pm each day

Yin Yoga is becoming increasingly popular. We are currently living in an over-dominant Yang (dynamic/strong) world, and our current Western asana practices reflect this. Practitioners are beginning to realise the need for its complementary Yin practice with all the benefits it has to offer.

The Gem Yoga Yin Yoga training course will cover the breakdown of Yin asanas, how to plan affective, safe and appropriate Yin classes (for yourself or others), functional anatomy, understanding of fascia, myofascial release, the Energetic body including the chakra system, introduction to the Chinese medicine meridian system and how we hold trauma in the body.

Take your yoga practice, teaching ability, and inner exploration to the next level. Time for you to dive deep into your inner being with long Yin practices, meditation, and yogic philosophy studies.

The four day Yin Yoga Teacher Training will be held at The Cider House at Buckland Abbey, tucked away in the 700-acre National Trust Estate on the fringes of Dartmoor, Devon. Take time to explore beautiful country walks on your breaks, and maybe a dip in the river! Accommodation is available at the luxury Cider house at a discounted rate. A Swedish wood fired hot tub to enjoy under the stars is included in the price.

You will learn in a relaxed, fun, inspiring environment and be fully supported from the beginning to the end of your journey and beyond.

Teachers will receive a 40-hour Yoga Alliance CPD certificate.

12 spaces only.

Don't just take our word for it this is a review from one our our lovely yogis who joined us on our last November Retreat:

"Heaven on Earth
I wanted to learn skills to turn off 'head chatter'.

From the moment I arrived on this retreat, I felt enveloped in the warmth and care of Bryony and Bertie. The beautiful Cider House and serene surroundings created the perfect environment for relaxation and self-reflection.

The food that Bryony and Bertie cooked was nothing short of exceptional —every meal was a nourishing delight that reflected not just culinary skill but also the love and care that they poured into everything they did. I’ll be dreaming about those dishes for a long time!

The yoga and meditation sessions were transformative. Bryony's guidance and patience made the practices accessible yet profound, leaving me feeling both rejuvenated and inspired.

Bertie introduced me to the experience of cold water swimming. Up on Dartmoor with snow on the hills, with blue skies and the sun shining was a fabulous experience, and one that I will think of for a long time.

Bryony and Bertie have created such a welcoming and nurturing space. It was truly a retreat to remember, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have experienced it. I’m already looking forward to the next opportunity to visit."

Don't miss out on this opportunity to reground & nourish yourself. We look forward to welcoming you! ✨💜✨xx
