Yoga and movement that ground and restore your system.

The area is very rural with walks in all directions as well as access to bathing spots in the river. The house itself is set in its own extensive grounds having been gardened from the Victorian era. Your host Leo and his wife Sonya have both been in the hospitality industry for many years, with Sonya's cooking having received much critical acclaim when they ran their own restaurants.
