Yoga Retreat – Spring Energiser

Shake off winter and welcome the longer days ahead

Friday 12 March - Monday 15 March 2027

At Kestle Barton, Helford River — limited to 12 spaces

A calm, restorative three-night escape designed to help you recharge, reset and reconnect as spring unfolds. Hosted by one of Cornwall’s leading Yoga instructors Keren Cooksey, this retreat combines uplifting yoga, coastal walks and nourishing seasonal food to restore fresh energy and deep relaxation.

Set at Kestle Barton above the Helford River, you can expect light-filled mornings, grounding practices and plenty of time to rest, restore and sleep deeply. Perfect for all levels of experience, it’s ideal for anyone feeling in need of a reset or looking to welcome the season ahead with fresh energy, leaving you feeling energised, balanced and refreshed.

Throughout your stay, thoughtful vegetarian meals prepared by Alice Rollinson of Wild Goose Gourmets bring colour, freshness and exceptional flavour to every table, adding another layer of nourishment to the retreat experience.

What you’ll be doing

Hosted by experienced yoga teacher Keren Cooksey, known for her warm, inclusive teaching style and ability to create a calm, supportive space, this three-night retreat offers a restorative blend of movement, nourishment and time in nature.

Across three unhurried days with Forever Cornwall, you’ll enjoy:

  • Morning energising yoga to awaken the body and mind

  • Restorative afternoon and evening sessions, including yin yoga, breathwork, mantra and yoga nidra

  • Delicious home made vegetarian meals cooked by our retreat chef

  • Optional walks along the iconic Frenchman’s Creek

  • Optional sea swim at a local’s favourite spot
  • Plenty of free time to rest, read, wander or simply breathe

Stay, eat & re-energise

You’ll stay in one of Kestle Barton’s beautifully restored barns, cottages or farmhouse — warm, spacious and surrounded by the fresh stillness of early spring. Rooms are twins or doubles, with options to join as a couple, with friends, or book an en-suite room or exclusive-use space (supplements apply).

Set on the edge of Frenchman’s Creek, Kestle Barton is surrounded by wildflower meadows, woodland paths and big skies — a peaceful corner of Cornwall that feels full of new energy as the season begins to unfold.
