Cotswolds · 3 days · From GBP 395 (indicative)
The weekend runs from Friday to Sunday, with two nights in a Cotswolds estate in Brize Norton. The day follows a set timetable: yoga 8am to 9am, breakfast at 9.30am, facial yoga at 10am, a nutrition talk or workshop from 11am to noon, Zumba from noon to 1pm, then lunch at 1.30pm. The afternoon is unscheduled until yoga at 6pm and supper at 7pm.
Facial yoga is a session on its own, working on the muscles of the face with the aim of reducing wrinkles and breakouts. The nutrition sessions cover gut health, hormonal health and Ayurvedic nutrition, plus a goal-setting and intentions workshop. Victoria's stated approach to fat loss and stress management is a practical one: techniques that take very little time and fit around a working life.
Zumba is open to all levels and is described as one of the more enjoyable ways to sweat. Yoga is taught as a strong, mindful flow, influenced by Yin Yoga and Ashtanga, and Victoria teaches beginners through to advanced. She has worked with elite sportspeople, including British Olympians.
What separates this from a standard yoga weekend is the food and the teaching around it. The menu is built on anti-inflammatory principles and is predominantly plant-based, with the aim of giving the gut a rest. Sample dishes include a clear skin juice, chia omega smoothie and quinoa protein porridge at breakfast, sprouted dahl or raw lasagne at lunch, and Moroccan soup or Thai green veggie curry at supper.
Optional extras can be booked alongside the programme: massage, walks in your free time, one-to-one nutrition planning, Reiki healing and one-to-one personal training. The venue is about 90 minutes' drive from London and a 20-minute taxi ride from Oxford Parkway station.
