Uplifting New Year yoga retreat in Norfolk, UK 2026
29th December 2026 - 1st January 2027 / West Lexham, Norfolk, UK
About West Lexham
Since 2012 we have been celebrating New Year in the idyllic setting of West Lexham Manor in Norfolk. A thriving eco country estate, set around a lake with beautiful gardens, woodland and only 30 minutes drive from the sea.
Join me and Emma this new year for an uplifting celebration and begin 2027 with a clear mind, an open heart and a rejuvenated spirit! Come on your own or with your friends, either way you’re guaranteed to have a great time.
Things to do
The retreat will be an opportunity for you to be in company with old friends or making new. If you prefer it will offer the chance to have some quiet time, space and reflection – it’s your choice, alongside a morning and evening programme of yoga, pranayama, meditation and celebration.
West Lexham is perfectly situated for long country walks or you can take a short drive to the sweeping sandy beaches of Holkham and Brancaster for some sea air.
The property is set around a lake, perfect for a walk or a New Year’s morning dip. Massage treatments will be on offer throughout the retreat. Or you can simply curl up in front of the fire with a good book.
“I wanted to say that Jess Horn was a fantastic teacher. She is incredibly knowledgeable about yoga and I felt I learned a lot from her in terms of yoga theory as well as the physical exercise. She was also a lovely, fun and compassionate member of the group. So my overall rating for the retreat is EXCELLENT!” — Gill
