I’m currently recovering from surgery, so I was nervous about going away. RainYoga’s gentle yoga retreat in the UK Surry countryside, however turned out to be the best thing my partner and I could have done. From the moment we arrived, surrounded by rolling hills and soft morning mist, I felt my body and mind begin to settle.
The sessions were calm, unhurried, and kind to my body. There was no pressure to push or keep up, and our teacher, Rain, offered thoughtful adjustments so I could move at my own pace and feel safe doing it. Between classes, we took slow walks through the countryside, enjoyed nourishing meals, and sat together in the quiet, something we rarely make time for at home.
I came home feeling stronger, calmer, and more hopeful about my recovery, and my partner and I felt closer than ever. RainYoga created a space where healing felt possible. I’d recommend this retreat to any couple, especially anyone who needs rest and gentle movement, and we’re already hoping to return.
