“May all your best creations be conceived during this time of fertility and abundance. Celebrate the glory of spring at its height”
~ Unknown

Awaken. Inspire. Renewal.

The ancient Celtic fire festival of Beltane is a celebration of fertility, abundance, and the profusion of new life bursting forth everywhere. At this time, Earth’s energies are at their peak, offering us a unique opportunity to connect with these potent forces and manifest our deepest desires.

Louise’s Blossoming with Beltane Retreat provides a transformative experience to deeply connect with your heart’s desires, find inspiration and motivation, and nurture renewal for mind, body, and soul.

Held at the beautiful Oak House Studio within the grounds of Hatfield House, this retreat offers the chance to explore an ancient landscape and connect with its abundant nature.

This retreat is open to everyone, and complete beginners are very welcome. Come just as you are and embrace the potential for new beginnings.

Here’s what Louise has planned for this retreat:

AWAKEN

Louise will guide you through an awakening, flowing mindful yoga practice that will shift energies, shake out tension, and release the physical body. She will weave in theory on how we can tap into the abundant energies of Beltane.

To conclude the morning, Louise will guide you through mindful reflection techniques to draw out where our heart’s desires lie and practical ways to make them reality.

INSPIRE

After a plant-based, nourishing lunch we’ll connect to the inspirational energy that Nature can provide by taking a walk through Hatfield Park’s ancient landscape. Our time in park will include mindful Nature art, physical connections with the land, and Nature-based mindfulness.

RENEWAL

We’ll return to the Oak House for an afternoon of renewing, healing rest through restorative and yin yoga. You’ll also be treated to a deeply relaxing yoga nidra practice with sound therapy.

‘Yoga gives us peace and clarity in order to see the beauty and wonder that is all around us’

Louise Neicho

Having spent the first 20 years of my professional life working in and with Nature I feel a deep connection to the natural world that has promoted numerous benefits in my life. Combining this with a love and appreciation of yoga and mindfulness that spans over two decades has enabled me to share practices that help us connect more deeply with Nature and ourselves. I have completed over 1000hrs of yoga and mindfulness teacher training and in 2023 I received a distinction for my master’s degree in Mindfulness where my thesis focused on the wellbeing benefits of connecting with Nature. I can honestly say that yoga and Nature has saved my life on more than one occasion, and I don’t think I would be the person I am today if it wasn’t for my practice. To bring all of this together is simply a dream come true and I hope you will join me and our like-minded community soon.

Words from my clients

'I started as a complete beginner and was worried I would not be able to follow the moves, but Louise is so kind and caring, plus really knows her stuff so is able to give very clear, supportive guidance. There is never any pressure as Louise always offers alternatives. With care and kindness she has encouraged me to really develop my practice. I always feel really energised after a session with Louise but I am also starting to notice a higher level of peace and tranquility in my day to day life. I feel strong and calm at the same time!

‘Louise is so kind and caring’
by Emma Scinaldi

'These are more than yoga sessions! Louise has a gift at transferring a real sense of inner calm and peace, in what has been very challenging times. Her lessons are creative and extremely useful in understanding how to cope in challenging situations. I informed a friend quite simply attending online has been a game changer for me. I feel ready to conquer my day or week ahead. A priceless gift.'

‘A priceless gift’
by Liza Timpson

'Louise’s classes are a life-line! She is a very warm, nurturing and knowledgeable teacher. She also integrates elements of mindfulness through various readings, poetry and insights to deepen the practice and allow deep rest to take place. I always feel lifted, yet grounded after each of Louise’s yoga sessions. '

‘Classes are a life-line’
by Cathy Washbrooke

'Louise has a very unique approach to teaching yoga, drawing learning from nature, neuroscience and nourishing spiritual teachings! I love the variety in her programmes, which combine mindfulness practices, movement and postures, readings and poetry, with wisdom and warmth. I am learning so much about how the mind, body and spirit can work together to cultivate compassion, strength and resilience for ourselves and those around us.'

‘A unique approach to yoga’
by Liz Hobman

"It was magical from start to finish. I lost complete track of time- we managed to do such a lot and yet it felt a spacious and unhurried day. The yoga and meditation sessions felt very nourishing and rejuvenating. I felt very lucky to be able to spend this special day with a lovely, like-minded group of people. I left feeling re-energised and at peace with myself."

‘Magical from start to finish’
by Michelle Lake

"I feel like I’ve given both my mind and my body a week’s holiday! It was such bliss to have a whole day just for me, to slow down and nourish myself away from the frenzied pace of life. I was expecting the sense of physical well-being but was really pleasantly surprised how beneficial I found it for my mental well-being too. I’m holding on to that feeling!"

‘Felt like a week’s holiday!’
by Jo Mildren

"What a truly relaxing and restorative day. I feel like a different person than the one who walked into the studio this morning. Louise blends yoga, tai chi, pranayama, sound therapy and connection with nature in such a beautiful way. My support dog, Parsley, who has been to a few retreat days with me now, is always so blissed out, too. Oh, and not to forget the delicious and healthy lunch by the wonderful Indira. These Sundays are highlights in my calendar which I always look forward to. Thank you, Louise."
