About this Retreat
Your Guides
Halina is a Psychologist, Systemic Family Constellation Facilitator, and Focusing Method Practitioner and trainer with a deep interest in somatic sensitivity and psycho-somatic awareness. She is a senior yoga teacher (RYS Yoga Alliance) and offers yoga classes, workshops and retreats locally in Rickmansworth, UK and internationally (mostly Spain and Greece)

Details of this retreat
Somatic Yoga Retreat in Devon, 8 - 11th January 2026: 4 days/3 nights of Yoga, Connection and Renewal.
HOMECOMING
Pausing is a doorway. When we slow down and rest in the pause, we enter a moment that reveals parts of ourselves, ways of being, and subtle layers of life that often go unnoticed. It is a homecoming.
Held just after the threshold of the New Year, this retreat is an invitation to begin 2026 with presence and clarity—to set the tone for what’s to come.
Together, we’ll stretch time open to breathe, move, laugh, release, and simply be. You’ll be supported by practices of Yoga (Hatha, Yin and Restorative), Breathwork, Meditation, Somatic Explorations, Trauma Release Exercises (TRE) and nourished with vegan and vegetarian meals, pool, sauna, nature and heartfelt connections
A time to pause, listen, and return to yourself—aligning with the quiet rhythm of a new beginning

Directions
Newhouse Farm Cottages, Witheridge,
Tiverton, Devon, EX16 8QB
The retreat centre is about 3.5h drive from London (directions below) or 3h by train (Paddington to Tiverton) then 20 mins taxi. I will be coordinating our travels and possible car share journeys.
Newhouse Farm Cottages is a 30-minute drive from Junction 27 of the M5. Leave the motorway at Junction 27 and take the A361 North Devon Link Road towards Tiverton/Barnstaple. Leave the A361 at the first roundabout by turning left and following the signs to Witheridge and the B3137. Take the second exit on the first mini roundabout and at the next roundabout turn right (Kennedy Way), passing Morrisons supermarket on your left (straight across at that roundabout) and then turn right at the next roundabout. Look out for the sign for the B3137 to Witheridge, the second turning on the left (Long Drag Hill).
Drive through the villages of Withleigh and Nomansland and when you get to Witheridge drive through the village, passing on the right The Mitre Inn. Take the next right immediately after passing the church and drive down the hill. Cross the river at the bottom and bear right, signed Rose Ash. Follow the road up the valley beneath the trees and Newhouse Farm Cottages is the second entrance on the left.
