Easter Yoga and Meditation Retreat in Oxfordshire

The retreat runs for four days over Easter at Braziers Park, a Grade II* listed mansion set in 55 acres of Oxfordshire countryside. The format is simple: active yoga in the morning, quieter practice in the evening, and a lot of good vegetarian food in between. Morning classes draw on Hatha and Ashtanga-inspired flows with core-focused movement. Evening sessions are yin yoga, yoga nidra, breathwork and meditation — the wind-down half of the day.

Groups are kept small and intimate, which means the teacher can offer personalised guidance, hands-on adjustments and variations for different bodies and experience levels. All levels are welcome; you don't need to be able to hold a handstand to get something out of it.

Meals are all vegetarian and made with fresh, locally sourced and estate-grown ingredients — three a day, plus tea, coffee, cakes and refreshments. Dietary needs are catered for if you tell the leader in advance.

Beyond the mat, there's a guided countryside walk through the estate and surrounding Oxfordshire lanes, and an evening bonfire gathering. The rest of the time is yours: read by the fire in the mansion, explore the grounds, or just rest. Accommodation is in the historic mansion, with single and shared room options.

The retreat is led by Ladan Soltani, who is based in Spain and also runs yoga retreats in Lanzarote. The facilitator team for each stay is confirmed before arrival. It's a straightforward, well-priced Easter reset that's easy to reach from London by car or train.
