what is wild fire?

Picture

Set in the glorious heat of the South of France, Wild Fire  is your chance to ignite your practice as we spend 5 days together deconstructing & rebuilding a fiery flow sequence in a smaller group environment.

This retreat is most suited to those with an intermediate yoga practice who are looking to explore the principles of individual postures as well as developing the strength & fluidity needing for creative & strong transitions.

We'll 

As always, all meals, drinks & snacks are provided. 

Come prepared to move, work & learn about your body & practice. 


Meals, drinks & snacks throughout the weekend are included, all prepared by our in house chef, Gavin. Group yoga classes are inclusive as part of your booking, but optional extras will be available to book during your stay, including reduced price one to one sessions with Courtenay or Sharon, or luxury bodywork treatments.


This retreat is your opportunity to dive deeper in your practice

enjoy a few days of luxurious relaxation in the tranquility of the countryside, with the chance to take stock of your body, mind & connect deeply with your practice.

the yoga

This year we will be running our adventure with two parallel teaching groups to help you gain the most from your time away with us. This ensures that whether you're new to yoga, have plenty of mat time under your belt, want to rest & recuperate or are looking to take your practice out of its comfort zone, we have something for you!

Daily classes will be led by a mix of Sharon & Courtenay - if the weather is being kind, we'll look to take some outdoor sessions all together, otherwise we'll practice in the beautiful & light Stargazer pod. We'll also spend time in smaller groups offering tailored classes & workshops according to whichever teaching group you are a part of.

stretch & unwind

Within this group we'll be looking to open & move the body in a gentle way, encouraging ease with longer holds & time to explore the subtleties of the postures we move through, We'll also have plenty of time to consider modifications within the asana for varying body types. 

Classes will be at a slower pace, making this the ideal group for those newer to yoga,  or anyone looking for a slower paced weekend to relax & unwind. ​

deepen your practice

The joy of a yoga retreat is having the opportunity to immerse yourself in your practice without returning to the distractions of home straight from the studio.

This group is perfect for the more experienced yogi who has already developed a regular practice which they are looking to take further. We will explore postures in depth & get creative with dynamic asanas & variations, challenging the body in new ways & making the most of the extra time to practice!

the team


Courtenay

Picture
​Courtenay is the owner & lead teacher at Warrior & Wild. Her love of movement & firm belief in the powerful link between body & mind is something she endeavours to bring into all of her work. 

Courtenay tries not to take life (or yoga!) too seriously & this is reflected in her classes - her style of teaching is very relaxed & inclusive for all levels of yoga practitioner.

sharon

Picture
Sharon has been a dedicated yogi for several years and after spending over 15 years teaching children in the classroom, Sharon decided to retrain as a Yoga teacher.

Her passion lies in bringing her creativity into the studio and the magic of props to her Hatha Classes. You won’t find many Utkatasana references in her classes but she may guide you safely into Camatkarasana!

gavin

Chef Gavin Nixon will be joining us to provide edible nourishment during the retreat.

Gavin has been cooking up a storm for over 25 years and has spent many years as head chef for a prestigious gastropub in Warwickshire.  

​He now runs his own family business (The Nixon Bake House) and enjoys work as a Freelance Chef.

the accommodation
​

The accommodation is a mix of single occupancy & shared spaces (don't worry...no shared beds!). If you're booking a bed in a shared space & are adventuring with friends or family, make sure to make a note of who you're travelling with in your booking form so we can ensure you're put together.

The site consists of a number of tipis & pods of varying sizes. 
Each geodesic pod is individual & comes with its own private cabin which houses a kitchen, private shower & award winning eco toilet 'throne'. The layout is unique to each pod, but all are made from a stainless steel framework, covered with a lightweight shell. Each one has a clear side to the bubble shaped dome to allow you to watch the stars by night.

​Whether you prefer the exclusivity of a pod all to yourself, or are looking for the full glamping experience in one of the beautiful tipis, Loveland has an amazing range of options to suit everyone.

Once your spot on the weekend is confirmed, you'll be sent a link to join our private retreat Facebook group. Here you can connect with other students, ask any questions & arrange lift shares for anyone looking to travel down together. 

​To book your space, please fill in the booking form at the bottom of this page. All beds will be allocated on a first come, first served basis - last year they went quickly so please note a reserve bed preference in case your first choice has already gone! You will receive an invoice for the £100 deposit along with your allocated bed. If you are happy with it, your space will be reserved for 24 hours.

Prices listed are per person, based on single occupancy per bed unless otherwise stated. 

stargazer pod


Stargazer is the only pod with a slightly different layout - the bedrooms are housed within the wooden cabin, alongside the  kitchen, Stargazer's epic geodesic dome is the biggest on site & will act as our yoga studio for the week (when it's not sunny enough to be outside!).

There is a designated shower room for each tipi and award-winning compost loos.

There is space for 3 people per tipi, but there's always the option to book as a pair, sharing the double bed & having the other beds removed to give you more space to chill out! ​
