Our lives are so full of noise and distractions; we are so busy that there is not enough time to get to know ourselves – instead we rush around with our minds on autopilot for most, if not all, of our lives. Our silent retreats allow you the opportunity to step back from life, to make the time and space for yourself so that you develop a better understanding of who you really are. Leaving you refreshed and reset to face the everyday once more.
A simple, grounded and inspiring approach to self-discovery.

HOW HER RETREATS WORK
Developing a spiritual practice can often begin with the physical postures of 'Asana'. Although important, this is just the beginning of the journey. Developing self awareness 'Svadhyaya' which comes from stepping back from life and making time and space for oneself, is an essential element on the path to Yoga.
We provide homemade meals that are largely sourced from our own lovingly-tended organic gardens so the food is as fresh and natural as possible and has a virtually zero carbon footprint. We value simplicity and generosity and, in short, we prepare and serve the food with respect and care using the best ingredients that we can. All our food is vegetarian and we can offer alternatives to dairy and wheat products.
Gayles is set in some of the most beautiful countryside in England; it nestles in eleven acres between National Trust, Country Park and Forestry Commission land and you can simply drink in the magnificent views all around. From Friston Forest to Cuckmere Haven and the Seven Sisters, you are only ever a short walk from some of the most iconic views around.
When you come to Gayles you are welcome guests sharing our family home; we respect that you are investing in yourself and we hope that you will have a fulfilling and enjoyable time here.
With this in mind, we ask that you also respect the space, participate fully in the activities and are mindful of the others in your group. Our retreats look to allowing you time and space to reconnect with yourself and the world around you in a warm, supportive and extraordinarily beautiful environment.
