Yoga and Rejuvenation
Retreat in
Florence House (Seaford, East Sussex)
6-9 april 2012
(Easter long weekend)
A weekend of yoga, meditation, sea walks and great healthy food at beautiful Florence House.
Venue & Accommodation: Florence House lies in a quiet position on the outskirts of the popular seaside town of Seaford, nestling at the bottom of vast open dunes, leading to a dramatic cliff line overlooking the English Channel with views towards France. Seaford lies midway between Eastbourne and Brighton on the south coast, each about 10 miles distant. The historic town of Lewes is about 12 miles to the north.
Built in the 1920’s by a local merchant as a wedding present for his daughter Florence House has been extensively refurbished & now provides a large course room, lounge, dining room and oak panelled study. The six acre estate is within a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and has views of Seaford Head, the golf course, and across Seaford to the white cliffs and the sea.
All rooms are individually and comfortably furnished with excellent shared bathroom facilities.

After breakfast on Saturday and Sunday, we will practise from 10.00 am to 12.30 pm (asana, pranayama and meditation). After lunch you will be free to explore the gardens or the countryside, or just to chill out at Florence House. Our afternoon class will be from 5.00 to 7.00 pm, and will introduce more pranayama and meditation techniques. Saturday and Sunday dinner will be at 7.30 pm. Monday morning’s class will be from 10.00 am to 1.00 pm, and will again incorporate asana, pranayama and meditation. Our weekend will finish with Monday lunch, but you are welcome to stay for a while during the afternoon if you wish to chill out for a bit longer!
