Forest Retreats

Forest Retreats, organised by Tom and Hayley Court, is a premier wellness and yoga centre in Chepstow, United Kingdom. Nestled at Hill Farm Tintern with views over the Wye Valley, this centre offers an ideal setting for sports players seeking to recharge and rejuvenate.

Since 2015, Forest Retreats has been recognised as one of the best spa and wellbeing destinations by The Guardian, thanks to its emphasis on eco-friendly practices and nature connection. Here, guests can unwind in a tranquil forest environment, whether they are looking to join a yoga retreat, a wellbeing retreat, or a corporate wellness event.

Tom and Hayley offer guided sessions in forest bathing, also known as Shinrin Yoku, a Japanese practice that helps reduce stress and promotes relaxation through immersion in the forest. Participants can experience this unique therapy in the ancient woodlands of Hill Farm, Tintern.

The retreat calendar at Forest Retreats includes a variety of options, such as ‘Shinrin Yoku and Brunch,’ which combines guided forest bathing with a homemade soup and bread brunch made from locally sourced ingredients. There are also longer retreats like the ‘Yoga and Wellbeing Retreat,’ spanning over two nights with daily yoga, meditation, and time in the outdoor Eco-Spa.

For a deeper transformative experience, the ‘Re:Connexion’ retreat offers an immersive weekend to reconnect with nature and oneself, featuring Shinrin Yoku, holistic therapies, and local cuisine.

Additionally, Forest Retreats provides one-day options like the ‘Yoga and Brunch Morning’ and ‘Day Yoga and Wellbeing Retreat,’ perfect for those needing a short but impactful break to focus on their wellbeing.

With its stunning location, commitment to eco-friendly practices, and experienced hosts, Forest Retreats is an ideal destination for sports players to refresh and restore their energy.
