New Year Yoga Retreat in Cornwall: Rest, Reflect & Rewild

Description

New Year’s Eve Yoga Retreat in Cornwall

December 29, 2026 to January 1, 2027

Do you fancy a different New Year’s Eve this year?

Join us for a four-day, three-night New Year’s Eve yoga retreat in a beautiful, tucked-away corner of the Atlantic temperate rainforest on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall.

We’ll practice daily yoga and meditation in the barn and enjoy a magical candlelit sound bath while tucked up in blankets. You can read books by the fire, swim in the river, hop in the sauna, cosy up in your cabin beside the log burner, toast marshmallows, and welcome the New Year with drinks around the campfire.

All the delicious food will be prepared by Beth the Free Range Chef.

We’ll also have two optional writing workshops: one to reflect on the year we’ve had and another to dream and envision big goals for the coming year. We find that this time between Christmas and New Year is wonderful for reflection.

This retreat has been designed to help you rest, reflect, and dream before floating into the New Year with more space in your body and mind and calm in your soul.

What You’ll Do

Settle in with tea and snacks before the retreat begins with an opening circle.

Day one is about grounding and resting. We’ll practice meditation and yin yoga before dinner, preparing us for a good, long sleep.

Wednesday begins with morning yoga and meditation, followed by a hearty brunch. There will be two optional writing workshops with cacao, one focused on reflection and another on dreaming. Later, we’ll enjoy a sound bath and practice yin yoga before dinner.

Thursday includes morning yoga and meditation, brunch, walks in the woods, and wild swimming. There will be time to rest before dinner, the campfire, and our New Year’s Eve celebrations.

On Friday morning, we’ll have yoga and an optional New Year’s Day swim before a hearty brunch, closing circle, and departures.

The yoga classes are themed around the natural elements, bringing nature into your practice.

All activities are optional but encouraged. You can also nap, read, swim, or explore. Activities are weather dependent, so we leave space for the schedule to change and flow.

Where You’ll Stay

Stay in a magical, tucked-away place surrounded by farmland, forest, and a beautiful river.

Cabilla has a sauna, library, rainforest, and even Gloria the pig. There is a range of double and single-occupancy off-grid cabins available. All guests use the showers and facilities in the main barn.
