Embracing Autumn: Yoga, Sound & Forest Bathing Retreat

Embracing Autumn: Yoga, Sound & Forest Bathing Retreat

Date: Saturday, 8th November 2025
Time: 10:00 am – 4:00 pm
Location: Stoughton Grange Farm Park, 2 Gartree Road, Oadby, Leicester, LE2 2FB

Join Karolina (Surya Yoga & Sound) for a day of rest and reconnection in the beautiful grounds of Stoughton Grange Farm Park.

Set just on the edge of Leicester, this retreat is an urban oasis in nature — a place where you don’t need to travel far to feel far away. We’ll gather in a stretch tent beside woodland and a tranquil lake, sharing yoga, sound, forest bathing, and the warmth of fire as autumn deepens.

Why Embracing Autumn?

By early November, autumn is deepening — the trees have turned, the air is crisp, and nature is slowly preparing for the quiet of winter. It’s the perfect moment to pause, rest, and reconnect.

This retreat is designed to:

• Honour the season — embracing the beauty of autumn before winter arrives
• Deeply rest through yoga and sound
• Reconnect with nature through forest bathing and fire meditation
• Nourish body and soul with grounding practices and hearty food

What You’ll Experience

• Morning Yoga – a flowing practice to gently open body and mind
• Immersive Sound Bath – one hour of deep rest with the healing vibrations of gongs, Himalayan and crystal singing bowls, and other therapeutic instruments
• Reflection & Journaling – space to integrate your sound journey
• Brunch at the Pub - Cow & Plough – a hearty pub meal (vegetarian and vegan options available, drink included)
• Guided Forest Bathing Walk – beginning with pranayama (breathwork), then mindful walking, sensory awareness, and quiet reflection by the lake
• Fire Meditation & Closing Circle – gathering around the warmth of the fire to seal in the practice (indoors if wet)
