We’re back!
Join Isis du Jour & Kate Anderson for this very special Summer getaway.
After a wonderful and sold-out retreat last year, we are delighted to be returning to the same beautiful site where The Yoga Yurt is located for another deeply nourishing weekend away.
Join us at the stunning hilltop location of Holmsted Himalayas in Cuckfield, overlooking ancient woodland in the heart of West Sussex. This peaceful, spacious site is home to The Yoga Yurt and offers breathtaking views, wide open skies and a true sense of calm.
Accommodation includes 10 fully furnished bell tents, as well as plenty of space to pitch your own tent or bring a campervan. The campsite is beautifully maintained, with hot showers, flushing loos, and a welcoming communal space at its heart for socialising and relaxing.
This weekend is an invitation to slow down, reconnect with nature, and truly unwind. You’ll be nourished with healthy, delicious food and revitalised through a balanced programme of yoga practices, including:
Energising Yoga Flow
Yin & Restorative Yoga
Meditation & Yoga Nidra
Pranayama (breathwork) exploration
A highlight of the site is the wild swimming lake, where you can enjoy a refreshing dip or take part in paddle boarding and SUP Yoga sessions.
Evenings are relaxed and atmospheric, with optional activities such as gathering around the fire, a drumming circle, sound bath, or simply enjoying some quiet time under the stars.
This retreat is dedicated to recharging and resetting, with plenty of free time built into the schedule for resting, reading, journaling, chatting, or simply soaking up the beauty of this special place — far away from the demands of everyday life.
✨ A chance to return to nature, to yourself, and to the familiar magic of The Yoga Yurt ✨
Our Site: Holmsted Himalayas
Make it stand out
Our tents are spread out across our hilltop site, with a ring of ancient woodland offering protection from the elements. We have hot showers, flushing loos and a beautiful communal space at the heart of the site for socialising and relaxing. There is newly installed mains power to the site, which allows you to keep all your electrical goods charged up, and powers the on-site fridge.
There’s plenty of communal space to find a place to read, lounge around, rest & relax.
As weather can be unpredictable, we also have plenty of sheltered spaces.

Meet your Retreat Hosts / Teachers
Isis du Jour
Isis is the founder of The Yoga Yurt, yoga teacher, teacher trainer and sound practitioner with a deep love of nature, music, and community. Her teaching is rooted in creating space for people to slow down, reconnect, and experience the magic of yoga both on and off the mat. Alongside her trainings in Vinyasa, Yin/Restorative, SUP, and Prenatal Yoga, Isis integrates her passion for sound — guiding nourishing sound baths, yoga nidra sessions, and offering vibroacoustic massage as a trained sound healer.
Warm, inclusive, and ever-curious, Isis believes yoga is a lifelong journey of growth and discovery. She feels privileged to share this journey with others and to welcome people into The Yoga Yurt — a place where movement, nature, music, and mindful connection come together.
