“I took my mum on Katy’s retreat for her birthday and we had a wonderful weekend. Florence House is lovely, with great cliff top walks to blow away the cobwebs. The food is sensational. And most of all Katy’s yoga is a joy to participate in. Pitched for all levels and all bodies, Katy is very in tune with the needs and desires of the group she’s teaching. I particularly enjoy the breadth that her classes embody- pranayama, mantra, kirtan and a dip into yoga history or philosophy, all on top of an expansive range of asanas.

My mum loved it; we had a great time together and also enjoyed the company of the group, including yogis who keep coming back again and again. I shall be one of these for sure. If you want to treat yourself, or someone else, to a delicious weekend, this is the retreat for you.”

Testimonials

Thank you Katy for organising a wonderful retreat in such a beautiful location and for generously sharing your experience, wisdom and knowledge. The week was a rare opportunity for me to take some time out for myself and at the end of it I felt rejuvenated, stronger and more purposeful :)

So much love and goodness packed into one week! Delicious yoga, breathwork and meditation, beautiful surroundings by the sea, incredibly tasty and healthy food, wonderful company and new friends. Katy is an inspiring teacher and her classes are challenging, peaceful and joyous all at the same time. Additional support and care by Emma (assisting) made me feel so welcome. 100% recommend!

This was my second retreat at Florence House. This time I brought my husband along with me, as we gifted the retreat to each other for our birthdays this year. We had a lovely relaxing weekend, wonderful food and company and Katy’s yoga is full of strength, stability, letting go and all for the mind and soul so something for everyone. We will both be back again - Thank You Katy

Uplifting, life affirming, spiritual joy

Tracy Baldwin

From the moment I stepped into Florence House I began to decompress. I put my phone away and connected with the other wonderful attendees instead! Katy is a consummate professional with very personable energy, her teaching is exceptional. I learned much over the 2 days, met some amazing humans and reset my intentions for the rest of the year! I wouldn’t hesitate to return again and have booked a day retreat in London to keep me topped up!

Abbie Davenport

Thanks for a wonderful weekend! A deep dive into asana and the more philosophical side of yoga – food for the body and soul in a beautiful setting.

Caroline Parrott

Thank you for your warmth and friendliness and for the great yoga sessions over the weekend. It was a joy.

Katy puts an incredible amount of work into her retreats. I have been on 3 of Katy’s retreats now and every one has been in a magical mix of incredible location, amazing food and inclusive, nourishing yoga. I do spend far too much time asleep but that’s testimony to how safe you feel in her presence! You will walk away floating!
