Nervous System Reset Yoga Retreat in Somerset's Wild Countryside

The retreat is hosted at 42 Acres, a regenerative retreat centre near Frome in Somerset. The venue itself is a big part of the experience — every space has been consciously restored using sustainable, locally-sourced natural materials, powered 100% by renewable energy. Inside, it's all rustic charm with real fires, natural light, soft textures and views down to the lake. It feels a world away from everyday life, yet it's only about an hour from Bristol and under three hours from London by car.

The yoga program is led by Rori, who has over 1,700 hours of advanced training in yoga therapy and embodied movement, with specialist study in spine health, mental wellbeing, the nervous system, women's health, trauma and somatic practices. Her teaching blends scientific insight with ancient wisdom from yoga therapy, Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda. She first trained in dynamic styles like Bikram and Ashtanga, but now focuses on the healing potential of stillness, subtlety and breath. She's particularly supportive of those with spine issues, nervous system dysregulation, mental health challenges, and beginners or older bodies.

The schedule includes grounding breathwork, dynamic and embodied yoga flows, a myofascial release workshop (essentially giving yourself a full-body massage), restorative and yin yoga, sound healing, and nightly yoga nidra meditations. There's also a guided hike, wild swimming and a wood-fired sauna. Being an open-level retreat, there are options to soften, deepen or rest as needed — you're fully supported whether you're new to yoga or an experienced mover.

What makes this retreat different is its specific focus on the nervous system. It's not just about doing yoga poses or relaxing for a weekend — it's about learning practical tools you can take into everyday life. You'll learn how to build resilience and bring your body back into balance to get deep rest. The small group size means you get plenty of care and individual attention, and the setting provides the perfect backdrop for deep reconnection.
