Aura Retreats presents:
Yurt Escape: Relax & Unwind
A one-day countryside retreat for women craving calm, connection, and deep rest.
This retreat is created especially for women who give a lot—to work, family, and others—and are ready to give something back to themselves. If you’ve been feeling tired, overstimulated, burnt out, or disconnected, this day is your permission to pause.
In just one nourishing day, you’ll leave feeling rested, grounded, calm, and deeply held.
On Saturday 10th May, Aura Retreats invites you to a beautifully secluded yurt on a peaceful farm in Bisley, Surrey—surrounded by open fields, fresh air, and birdsong. Just around an hour from London (and easily reached via Woking), this is a countryside escape that feels far away, without actually being far at all.

✨ What makes this retreat special
This is a small, intimate gathering, allowing space for genuine connection, personalised guidance, and a sense of being truly supported.
Places are limited to protect the experience.
✨ One of the highlights of the retreat is our beautiful wood-fired sauna box and cold plunge, set within the quiet of the countryside. This is not a rushed or extreme experience, but a carefully guided ritual designed to help your body soften, release, and reset.
🌿 Your Journey
10:30 | Soft Arrival
Ease into the space with herbal tea and a gentle grounding practice. Let the world outside begin to fade.
11:15 | The Gift of Presence – Mindfulness & Self-Compassion
Guided by psychotherapist Paula, you’ll be gently led into presence through calming mindfulness and self-compassion practices. This is an invitation to slow your thoughts and turn your attention home.
12:15 | Nourished & Free
Enjoy a wholesome, nourishing lunch followed by sacred, unstructured time. Wander the land, journal, rest, or simply be. Nothing is required.
13:15 | The Elemental Reset – Sauna & Cold Plunge Ritual
The heart of the day. A guided contrast experience using heat and cold to:
• boost circulation
• release stored tension
• calm the nervous system
• leave you feeling clear, energised, and deeply relaxed
15:00 | Integration
A quiet pause with warm tea. No guidance. Just gentle being.
15:30 | Embodied Release – Somatic Yoga & Sound Journey
Kasia guides a deeply nourishing Somatic Yin/Yang Yoga session, blending gentle movement with stillness. This flows seamlessly into a live sound bath using crystal singing bowls, allowing sound and vibration to soothe your nervous system and integrate body and mind.
17:00 | Fireplace Closing Circle
We close the day gathered around the fireplace—warm, cosy, and unhurried. A final circle for reflection or sharing (if you wish), helping you leave feeling grounded, connected, and renewed.
*gentle schedule – times may shift slightly on the day
🧘‍♀️ No experience needed
All practices are accessible and optional. You simply need a body and a willingness to soften. You’re supported every step of the way, with choice and comfort at the centre.

How our participants felt after the last event
"This was my first yoga retreat organised by Paula and Kasia — and it absolutely exceeded my expectations.
It was a wonderful, deeply relaxing time — we truly felt cared for.
Everything was beautifully organised and I had an amazing time. Thank you!”
“Thank you to all the wonderful women I had the pleasure of spending this time with.
It was a beautiful weekend yoga retreat, where we not only practised yoga but also did mindfulness exercises — something truly nourishing for both body and soul.
I am deeply grateful that I could experience this, that I could be there. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who wants to work on themselves, both physically and internally.”
“I attended a wonderful event organised by Aura Retreats, and I truly hope to experience it again one day.
The women created such a warm and welcoming atmosphere, where, in a supportive female circle, we could enjoy yoga, art therapy, and a sound bath.
It was a feast for both body and spirit. I returned home incredibly happy, and my good mood spread to everyone around me. Pure magic.”
