New Year Reset : Yoga & Mindfulness Friday 9th January to Sunday 4th January. From £300.

Start your year with calm intentions, clarity and connection at our New Year Reset: Yoga & Mindfulness retreat here at Cardwen Farm. This peaceful two-night escape is the perfect way to leave behind the rush of the festive season and welcome the year ahead with intention, rest and renewal in the embrace of the Cornish coast.

From the moment you arrive from 4pm Friday afternoon, you’ll be greeted with a warm welcome, a comforting Cornish cream tea, and a chance to settle in to your room within our fabulous Holiday Cottages before we begin the evening with a gentle Yin Yoga class to ease body and mind. A locally sourced and nutritious supper will follow at 7:30, giving you space to unwind and connect with fellow retreat guests. Don’t worry if you can’t make check in at 4pm, we know not everyone can make travel plans to arrive straight away – you can ease yourself into the weekend gently in your own time.

Saturday balances optional guided yoga and mindfulness sessions combining both relaxing Yin Yoga with the gentle flow of Yang Yoga designed to help you reset and rebalance, with plenty of free time in-between to relax, explore the Cornish coast and country – or simply rest warm and snug easy in front of a Woodburner. We can provide a lovely locally sourced lunch or recommend many lovely local options. Cornwall has fabulous gastronomy. In the evening you are invited to join an optional group meal at a local restaurant next to the sea, or enjoy a quiet night to yourself – the choice is yours.

On Sunday, we’ll greet the morning with an optional invigorating sea dip (weather permitting!) followed by a final Yoga session. Our final meal together is a light brunch before gathering around the fire pit for a closing circle, privately affirming your gentle intentions for the year ahead before we say our goodbyes. All retreat attendees receive a gift voucher for Cardwen Farm Holiday Cottages.

What is included: Accommodation, 4 yoga sessions, 2 continental style breakfasts, Fridays evening meal, Saturdays Lunch and Sundays Brunch. Optional extras to include: transportation to local beach if required, Saturday evening meal or activity (Wine & Choc tasting).

Come as you are, leave feeling refreshed, grounded, and ready for a new year filled with peace and purpose.
