Heart Temple Retreats
Turn inward, with care and attention
Heart Temple Retreats frames yoga as more than a physical practice: its teaching draws on Himalayan Yog-Vedantic and Tantric lineages, with attention to the body, mind, nervous system and heart. The emphasis is inward and gently paced, with care for oneself treated as part of the work rather than an afterthought. Rosie guides the retreats, which may appeal to visitors curious about yoga with a contemplative dimension, as well as those wanting time away from a busy routine. The setting is at Mayville in Norton St Philip, a village outside Bath, rather than in the city centre. Retreat formats and daily details can differ, so ask the host about the schedule, accommodation and what is included before booking. Prices start at €1,290. Come for a yoga retreat shaped by a distinct lineage, and leave room for the quieter work of turning attention inward.
