The Venue
This outstanding farmhouse, set by the most stunning stretch of coastline in North Norfolk, is the perfect space for us to land for a weekend of Joy.
Unwind in the beautiful, luxury accommodation with plenty of space to socialise and/or to retreat on your own. Enjoy a rich & varied timetable of classes & workshops on the stunning outdoor heated yoga terrace.
Outdoor living is central to the ethos of the farmhouse and we have our own fully heated outdoor lounge, dining area & kitchen as well as a stunning sauna, wood-fired hot tub & cold plunge pool, as well as being walking distance to the beach for all those sea dips.
The farmhouse is situated in both an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a Conservation Area, and is between two designated Dark Sky sites - where the stars in the night sky are simply stunning. Also two of the few places in the UK where you can view the Northern Lights.
This is truly an unspoilt area of the UK, and a place very close to my heart.
Direct trains from London. Closest station Norwich (35 min drive). Taxi shares can be arranged from the station.
Plenty of parking on-site.

Whilst alignment focussed in her teaching, she emphasises the importance of ensuring it feels good for that student and that there is no right or wrong in practice. Most importantly, Amy’s classes are light-hearted and fun, where she encourages joy through movement.
—> Amy’s aim is to hold a space for students to feel welcome, at ease, and with a sense of achievement. Amy’s favourite thing about teaching Yoga is the wonderful people she meets. Members of the community who join her classes are incredible and inspire her daily, and she can’t wait to spend some quality time with them at Spring Joy.

You do not need to know another person going on the retreat to book into a shared room. If you choose a shared room, you will be paired with another person who has booked on their own as well. It is one of the most beautiful ways to meet people, I have made life-long friends from room shares on yoga retreats!
If you would like to be paired with someone specific, please let me know <3
