3-Day Yoga and Sound Healing Wellness Escape in the Cotswolds

Fire & Bliss has been running yoga retreats in the Cotswolds and Devon for years, and this 3-day weekend sits right at the heart of what they do. It's hosted in a deluxe but relaxed venue — a renovated barn that mixes rustic character with modern comfort. You can choose between a shared twin or a private double room, almost all with en-suite bathrooms.

The weekend kicks off on Friday afternoon. After you settle in and grab a herbal tea, there's a nourishing dinner, followed by an opening ceremony where everyone sits in a circle, sets intentions, and gets to know each other. The evening ends with gentle yoga and a sound healing session — a proper way to switch off from the week.

Saturday is the fullest day, with (optional) yoga classes, a meditation walk, and a creative workshop. You can also book a massage with Gosia from Oxford Treatments, who has years of experience in top spas and hotels. Saturday closes with another sound bath, this time with multiple gongs and Tibetan singing bowls, which guests often say gives them the best night's sleep they've had in months. Sunday winds down with more yoga, a lovely breakfast and lunch, and a closing ceremony before checkout at 3.30pm.

What makes Fire & Bliss different is the combination of two senior teachers, a proper sound healing setup, and the stunning Cotswolds location. Ale specialises in Vinyasa, with training from Yoga Alliance and a background in corporate life that she left behind after falling for yoga. Ola is a yoga, aerial, and sound healing teacher who trained under Ana Forrest and others. Together they create a warm, non-judgmental space where you can arrive exactly as you are and leave feeling stronger and lighter.
