David and Ellie Tilston
After a few requests we have decided to host a full board movement retreat in the UK including a wide range of yoga and bodyweight movement modalities.
For anyone that has participated in one of our previous retreats, workshops or online programmes (or even as a complete beginner); we will be looking to help you develop your practice, teach you new skills and teach you how to build your own weekly fitness routine to compliment your current and future lifestyle.
We will be staying at the incredible Boswell Farm, a family run premises with a number of large cottages and separate studio with heated floor that overlooks a stunning valley. This studio receives the first sun of the day and is perfect for 18-20 people
