Easter Yoga & Meditation Weekend Retreat in Oxfordshire

The retreat is held at Braziers Park, a community and residential college set in an area of outstanding natural beauty. Founded in 1950 as an educational trust, the Grade II* listed mansion house is run by a small community, with an organic kitchen garden and livestock on site. You'll be staying in a genuinely lived-in historic building, not a purpose-built retreat centre – rooms are simple, communal bathrooms are shared, and the atmosphere is more house party than spa hotel.

Ladan leads a mixed yoga fusion style – expect Hatha, Sivananda and Ashtanga across the weekend. She adapts each class to the group in the moment, offering modifications for beginners and more challenging options for those who want them. Every person gets individual attention and adjustments. Mornings are energising; evenings are restorative, with guided meditation, mindfulness, breathwork and Yoga Nidra. There's also a specific workshop on core strength and back care.

The weekend is built around Easter, so expect a proper Sunday roast and treats. But the structure is loose – sessions are all optional. You can spend your free time walking the 55 acres of woodland, exploring the organic garden, reading in the library, or sitting by the real log fire. There's a guided country walk and an evening bonfire, and plenty of chances to socialise with like-minded people.

This is a hybrid getaway – part yoga retreat, part countryside escape, part community experience. It suits people who want structure but also freedom, and who value a real sense of place over a polished wellness product. The house is less than 1.5 hours from London, making it an easy weekend escape from the city.
