A Weekend Yoga Retreat with Jackie Dyson: Honouring the Turning Point in the Seasons Friday 13th- Saturday 15th Nov 2026

Autumn Retreat at Claridge House — Slowing Down into the Season

As autumn deepens and winter begins to whisper, this retreat invites you to consciously slow down and align with the rhythm of the season. November is a threshold time: the days are shorter, the nights longer, and nature is drawing its energy inward. Rather than resisting this shift, we’ll explore how to embrace it—learning to soften, settle, and conserve our vital energy.

Across the weekend, our yoga, meditation, and quiet reflection will support the body and nervous system to rest more deeply. Practices will be grounding, nourishing, and spacious, encouraging release rather than effort, listening rather than striving. There will be time to move gently, to be still, and to simply be—allowing the darkness of the season to feel like a place of restoration rather than withdrawal.

This retreat is an invitation to:
• Honour the turning of the year
• Settle into slower rhythms
• Reserve and protect your energy
• Cultivate warmth, steadiness, and inner quiet

We hope that you’ll leave feeling resourced, centred, and more at ease with the natural ebb and flow of this time of year—ready to meet winter from a place of calm presence.
