Do I need to be fit to attend the yoga retreat?

No, the yoga day is tailored to people of all ages and levels of fitness/mobility. The primary focus of this yoga retreat at the Polurrian is to help relax the mind and body by escaping the hustle and bustle of everyday life, and to focus on yourself for a while. Wellness encompasses mental health and physical wellbeing, and this is a personal journey that our expert guides can help you to work towards.

I've never attended any wellness classes or retreats before, do I need any experience to get the most out of this retreat?

There is nothing that requires any previous knowledge, or any experience of wellness practices. Our guide will help you find your own inner peace at your level, nothing strenuous or taxing just tranquil, gentle exercises that will centre you and give you renewed vitality and balance.

What do I need to bring?

• Please bring your own mat • Bring some warm layers for the outdoor yoga/meditation sessions and suitable shoes for walking to the beach. • You can bring a change of clothes for after the morning yoga session if you wish or feel free to lounge in your leggings all day if this is more comfortable!
