The retreat offers asana, pranayama, meditation and mantra, and an afternoon mandala drawing and meditation.
There will be time and opportunity to walk around the meditation garden, venture up the fairy hill or take a stroll along the river bank, maybe catching a glimpse of the otters in the unspoiled natural surroundings.

Autumn Yoga Retreat in Dorset with Andrew Wrenn
2026-10-08 15:00 - 2026-10-11 12:30 | Dorset, United Kingdom
8th – 11th October 2026
Join Andrew for a nourishing autumn retreat in the beautiful Marshwood Vale, nestled amongst the rolling hills of West Dorset, just two miles from the sea. A wonderful opportunity to slow down, reconnect and restore, with delicious food, peaceful surroundings and a heated indoor pool to luxuriate in.
The Practice
This retreat draws from traditional Hatha Yoga practices that have been studied, embodied and shared over many years.
Each day will begin with early morning meditation, followed by a unique blend of pranayama and kriya practices.
Late morning sessions will include asana (yoga posture) practice, combining alignment-based postures with fluid, intuitive movement to energise, restore and rebalance body and mind.
Afternoon sessions begin with time to gather together, reflect and ask questions around anything arising physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually. This is followed by afternoon asana practice and somatic movement.
Andrew has been teaching yoga for over 20 years and has led retreats around the world for the past 15 years, creating spaces that are welcoming, grounded and deeply restorative.
The Retreat Centre
Bonhays is a sanctuary of peace, simplicity and stillness — a beautiful, secluded meditation and retreat centre nestled in the hills of West Dorset, between Bridport and Lyme Regis.
Set around a central courtyard, the soft curves of the straw-built buildings blend harmoniously with the surrounding landscape. The centre offers spacious communal areas alongside many quiet corners for rest and reflection.
Surrounded by twenty acres of private land, there are countless places to simply sit and be. Facilities include a heated indoor swimming pool, a meditation and group space, beautiful walks directly from the land and easy access to the coast, just a five-minute drive away.
Whether you choose to watch the sunset from the decking, swim peacefully in the pool, enjoy nourishing meals in the conservatory or settle into stillness in the meditation room, we trust you will leave feeling replenished, rested and revitalised.

Single occupancy room — £745
Shepherd’s hut (single occupancy) £765
