March Retreat at Croft Farm

7th-9th March 2025

When I stepped into the oasis that the team at The Croft Farm Escape have created, I got that immediate feeling of it being the perfect space.

I can’t wait to host a weekend full of all of my favourite things…
Starting the day with an energising Yoga practise; delighting in abundant, delicious meals shared around a big table prepared by Andy; strolling the surrounding land; making the most of the wood fired sauna and cold plunge; and getting cosy in the most creative, inviting home.

The ultimate combination for a restful, recharging weekend getaway.

Interior of a wooden barrel sauna with benches and a wood stove.
Yoga studio with wooden ceiling and floor, six green yoga mats with black bolsters, and natural light from a skylight.
Colorful wooden signs on a tree in a forest, including messages like "Free Hugs," "Everybody Loves Everybody," and "Let's Get Funky!" with a wooden fence visible in the background.
Sunrise over a misty field with a stone spiral path and surrounding greenery.
Two people in a metal tub filled with ice, outdoors with a scenic countryside landscape in the background featuring fields, trees, and a woven wood structure.
Modern kitchen with green cabinetry, wooden dining table and chairs, white subway tile backsplash, hanging pendant lights, and potted plants on a shelf above windows.

Meet Your Hosts

My partner Andy and I met years ago living in Australia working in the world of hospitality. We immediately clicked through our shared love of the same passions: food, deep conversation, and connection. We’ve been on a journey the last 6 years of sharing these passions with the world and we can’t wait to host our first retreat together.

  • If you’ve made it here, you’re likely to have practised with me before. My vinyasa practices are playful, energising, and fun. I also love sharing a space for deep, releasing Yin Yoga. You can expect both these sides of my practise on this retreat.

  • Head Chef at ROVI - one of Ottolenghi’s flagship restaurants in Fitzrovia. Working with seasonal produce, Andy’s food is all about big flavours. I might be biased, but his cooking is the best.
