Friday 24th – Sunday 26th April 2026 | Ferring, Sussex
Two years ago, on a cold and windy December day, Ylva (Yoga with Ylva) and Caz (CJYoga) discovered a hidden gem on the Sussex coast. Not one, but two beautiful beachside houses joined by a landscaped garden, just steps from the sea. With bright rooms, sea views, meditation spaces, a pool, and a light-filled kitchen, they knew it was too special not to share.
And so, the Sussex Spring Weekend Retreat was born. 🌸
What to Expect
A nourishing weekend of:
Morning yoga
Sea swims & seaside walks
Sound baths & meditation circles
Journaling & gentle self-enquiry
Poolside chats (and dips, if the weather’s kind!)
Space for peaceful reading & reflection
Connection, laughter, and joy
All meals are lovingly prepared by Field Foods, a local company passionate about soil- and soul-enriching food. They work with Sussex producers and use seasonal ingredients at their very best. Delicious, nourishing, and sustainable.
Prices per person:
SOLD OUT: Private room with ensuite bathroom: £635pp
Private room with shared bathroom: £615pp
Twin room with ensuite bathroom: £535pp
Twin room with shared bathroom: £515pp
Some rooms do have the option of an additional bed, so if you were hoping to share this retreat with two (or more) friends, please do let us know so we can discuss your options.
Please email cjyoga@yahoo.co.uk for more details or to book your space.

Join us at the Francisco Lounge on Tuesday 15th July. The book of choice is What a Way to Go by Bella Mackie.
Our book clubs aren’t a serious affair. They’re just a nice opportunity to get together in a relaxed space and have a chat in small groups. We’ll give you a list of questions – shared before the event so you know what to expect – and your group can choose how you use them.
There have been so many long-lasting friendships made by our book clubs – it’s such a special event!
We may be introducing a small book swap into this event, so watch this space!
Tickets include a non-refundable community fee.
