I have just spent an amazing week in Chamonix with the lovely Lisa and her crew. We were blessed with wonderful weather, a different mountain to explore each day, food any posh restaurant would be proud of, a beautiful chalet and most importantly, some fantastic yoga. Each day started and ended with a yoga session. These sessions were changed up daily by our in house instructors, the fabulous and always effervescent Emily and the wonderful Roo. Days were spent on the mountain - we visited five different mountains in total, each one better than the last. This was truly a retreat to remember. I would recommend Our Retreat to anyone looking for to take a break from the stresses of life, chill out, eat great food, perfect their practice and enjoy some great skiing.
Wow, such an incredible weekend with some inspiring women. The accommodation was beautiful, the setting was amazing and the right amount of pilates, yoga, relaxation and sleep! Food was in a league of its own. Lisa clearly works hard to make this a special time for all her guests, she is so welcoming and great fun. I would definitely recommend it and will be looking at doing another retreat next year and hope to extend it to a week next time. Thanks so much and look forward to seeing you soon.
I'm a yoga teacher by trade, and so I have lots of experience of going on retreats, and I can honestly say in all my years, this was one of the absolute best! The location & place itself (Sardina), was so magical and offered everything; green, ocean, cliffs, mountains, beautiful town, lush villa & pool ~ heaven. The weather was amazing. The trainers (Emily & Roo) were so encouraging & fun, and made working out fun & playful! The food was epic, the chefs put so much Italian love + soul into the cooking, and you could really tell. I loved all the activities; daily trips to the beach, hiking, water sports, BOATS, and also the option to chill by the pool at the villa if downtime more your vibe. The other guests became like family; such a great group of very different, but somehow all super like-minded, people ~ I made 11 friends and had such fun, laughs and great chats! And lastly, Lisa, the host, has such a beautiful positive energy; her presence on the retreat makes sure everything running smoothly and her attention to detail is what makes Our Retreat stand out. It's stylish, fun, cool, lush, playful, efficient (I came back looking & feeling amazing!) and so so worth while. I will be back for years to come! Thank you team.
A weekend shared with a friend and lots of other extraordinary women. We left this beautiful country home retreat feeling relaxed, energised and well nourished. The plant based food was a definite highlight as was the yoga, barre and pilates classes. And the Saturday evening of meditation was truly memorable! I'd recommend this retreat to anyone who's looking for some total 'timeout' from the world, and wants time to regroup as an individual. Many thanks to the gorgeous Lisa, Lottie and Emily for their part in organising and making this a special weekend.
The 4 day yoga and pilates retreat was absolutely amazing. Lisa, Lottie and Emily are so lovely and welcoming I felt "at home" from day 1. The classes are great and the food was delicious, nourishing, satisfying and super healthy, so after the weekend I felt in the best shape (inside and out). There was also indulgence in the form of lots of free time for napping, reading, walking and the most delicious chocolate dessert! I feel really lucky to have shared this incredible experience with other amazing women and really connect with like minded people. Will definitely be a part of Our Retreat retreats from now on, and can't wait for my next one! :)
A lovely retreat set in a beautiful Manor House in Somerset. Food was incredible and the classes were great, with fab tutors. A wonderful weekend.
A wonderful, relaxing weekend in the English countryside, Lisa, Lotte and Emily made us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. Everything about this retreat was top quality, from the amazing vegan / organic food to the yoga and pilates. The rooms were beautiful and clean with views of the countryside all around. I really enjoyed myself and will most definitely be returning! Joanna x
Our Retreat was just perfect. My first yoga retreat and it had everything I was looking for. The location was beautiful the food was amazing and the people and entire experience was unforgettable!
My 3rd Retreat with these guys. each one has been in a different country and a different vibe. This one was a UK yoga, pilates and meditation. it was in a beautiful setting, nice company, excellent weather. wonderful food. Louise was an amazing training and Lisa had everything covered so all we had to do was relax. 6 stars!
I attended the yoga retreat with Cat Meffan and I honestly had one of the most amazing weekends of my life. For someone who attended the retreat alone, also being my first ever retreat, I couldn’t of asked for anything more. All the guest, including Lisa and Cat made me feel so welcome. The food was out of this world and the practice was magical!
'Retreat life'- How had I never done this before? Literally one of the best experiences.You will have memories for life. From the moment you send that enquiry email off you are in safe hands. Every detail - the location; accommodation; transportation; activities were all on point. I was lucky enough to be on retreat with the amazing Lisa ( the hostess with the most) Richie Norton - aka The strength temple ( literally a temple of knowledge) and Azra yoga - Ashleigh ( one of my now soul sisters) There was honestly something for everyone and the entire group were made to feel inclusive without any pressure. I don't want to spoil the magic, but throughout the retreat we got to experience hiking, yoga, HIIT sessions; practical mobility workshops; mediation; breath work; swimming; running; water sports; some epic music& grooves not to mention a game of lawn boules! If none of that sounds like your thing there is plenty of time to just be, chill and soak up the atmosphere. I could talk all day about the food element of the trip - simply put I fell in love with food again. Body and soul nourishing which is what you get when food is made lovingly with passion. Would I go on retreat again with 'Our Retreat' - most definitely Hand on heart I would recommend Our Retreat for your/our next adventure. x
‘Our Retreat’ in Sardinia 2018 is one of the best experiences of my life to date. Lisa and her team could not have done more to make us feel welcomed and comfortable. The week we were there we had the great pleasure of having Richie Norton ‘the strength temple’ teaching us about mindfulness and meditation along with showing us that simply using your own body weight is enough to make anyone sweat. To put it simply I would recommend everyone should go on a retreat with Lisa, the chefs who made the most amazing food I think I may have ever tried and everyone else who makes the experience happen. Thanks ‘Our Retreat’ for making it awesome.
I loved every moment of the retreat. The perfect balance of free time and optional activity, it was organised to perfection. The smaller groups offered fabulous support from the trainers who’s adjustments really enhanced my experience and results. The food was exceptional, some of the best I have ever had. It took a while to adjust to normal life and I can’t wait to come back!! Exceeded all expectations.
Could not recommend this retreat highly enough. I just got back from my second stay with Our Retreat (42 Acres in 2017 and now Sardinia) and I feel so much healthier, calmer and happier. Both locations are stunning and the combination of pilates, yoga and barre really complimented eachother. The food was INCREDIBLE and I so appreciated being allowed time to just chill, read, hike and explore. The perfect healthy holiday!
Excellent! Helpful and friendly, very well organised, excellent content for the weekend. Will be booking another retreat!
An all round great experience! The wonderful thing about this weekend is that it works for everyone whether you are a committed exercise junkie or just wanting to kick start a better health programme. Lisa is a tremendous host and extremely generous in every way. The retreat venue, rooms, food and company all surpassed our expectations. Shona and Lisa had obviously worked together in the past and it showed as they danced seamlessly round each other. We learned about exercise, food and pushing oneself in a very positive and relaxed way, not too intense and easy to see how we could incorporate small changes into our daily routines. As the icing on the cake, it was a great and varied group of people who had come together for the weekend who were fun to be with
I just had the best time on the retreat! It was amazing to spend some time with a lot of great women. The venue was better than I expected and don't get me started on the food we were served.. Out of the world! The sessions and workshops were very helpful and you really learn a lot, in just a short amount of time! For me retreats are always good to reflect and you really get time to process it all! You would think three days is quite short but you get more of it than you think! When would Lisa set up another one? I would book it without thinking about it!
The retreat was perfect...the location, accommodation, food and people. I only wish it was for longer. Thank you for setting up such a wonderful weekend with such a fantastic agenda. I hope to be back!
My experience with Our Retreat was absolutely perfect! The organisation was flawless and Lisa has been an amazing host, taking care of all of us from the beginning to the end. The farmhouse is stunning, such a lovely place to stay and connect with nature and your inner self. Pilates and yoga classes were challenging yet approachable for all levels. The food was delicious!! And finally, the group atmosphere was really really nice, inclusive, relaxed and fun. I really recommend it!
I had an amazing experience with Our Retreat in the beautiful English country side. Our days were filled with yoga, beautiful scenery, tasty healthy food and great company. As a lone traveller I was instantly made to feel welcome and comfortable. Couldn't recommend the experience more!
