The Venue
This exquisite country estate, hidden from view, nestled into the unspoilt Devon landscape.
Our estate perfectly situated for exploring the Devonshire coastline and enjoying far-reaching ocean views from dramatic cliff tops. The charming village of Kingston, just a mile away, is a timeless slice of old Devon, with chocolate-box cottages and their rambling gardens.
Surrounding the house, is a charming lawned garden overlooking a pretty paddock – wander on further, and you'll find the orchard, seemingly plucked from a storybook. Beyond is our private enchanting lake, with various seating areas to take in the beautiful surroundings. Follow the 2.5 km trail around the lake, and while away a sunny afternoon amongst the dragonflies and cow parsley. Surrounding this, is acres of private land to explore, and a walk through the woods to the glistening coastline.
Inside the house is a heated swimming pool with doors that open to the outdoor terrace, a library stacked with books and games, cinema room (complete with popcorn machine, drinks fridge, cinema lighting, blackout blinds and tiered velvet seats) and a gorgeous lounge with large squishy sofas.
Enjoy a rich & varied timetable of classes & workshops in the most incredible yoga barn which has underfloor heating and sweeping views to the countryside, and at the many stunning outdoor spots whenever we can.
Direct trains 2hr 40min from London. Closest station Totnes (35 min drive). Taxi shares can be arranged from the station.
Plenty of parking on-site.

Your Host - Amy Chilver
—> Amy has been practising Yoga for over 16 years. After the profound impact that Yoga had on her life, Amy trained as a Yoga Instructor to share her passion for Yoga with others.
—> Amy has over 880hrs of Yoga Teacher Training and spent 4 months in India where she experienced intense training in Advanced Vinyasa, Mandala, Mediation and Breathwork. Amy has also trained in Rocket, Restorative, Yoga & Mental Health, Sound Healing, Pregnancy & Post Natal. Amy has a Psychology BSc degree and she brings elements of her work in this field into her classes.
—> Amy’s classes always bring an element of challenge, play and calm. Amy encourages her students to connect with their own bodies and to make choices which work for them on that particular day. 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.
—> Amy’s aim is to hold a space for students to feel welcome, uplifted 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
