5 Day Yoga & Wild Swimming Retreat in Cornwall, UK

The retreat is held at a country estate about 2 miles from the coast, surrounded by 22 acres of lawns, ornamental lakes, camelia woods, orchards, and a walled vegetable garden. There's a large yoga studio indoors, but classes can also happen on the lawns when the weather's good.

A key part of the week is the guided wild swim session, led by a local Cornish company whose instructors are Open Water Swimming and Beach Lifeguard qualified. The session starts with a briefing and some swim-fit exercises, then you head into the sea for a swim, followed by hot chocolate and snacks on the beach with a debrief. You'll build confidence and learn how to sea swim safely, whatever your experience.

On the second day, there's a long coastal walk along the paths with stunning views—you can stop for ice cream or even have another dip in the sea. The yoga is led by Harriet, who started her practice in Leeds and now teaches with a focus on finding calm and balance. Her classes are suitable for all levels, from complete beginners to experienced practitioners.

The food is a real highlight: the chef creates inventive, seasonal plant-based dishes that showcase local produce. All dietary requirements are catered for, and there's always plenty of choice at brunch, lunch, and dinner.
