The Commonwork Centre and Bore Place House are set in an area of outstanding natural beauty, close to Sevenoaks in Kent. Bore Place House is an old Tudor manor house with Jacobean and Victorian extensions. There is a large comfortable sitting room with an open fire for those chillier autumn and winter weekends. It is surrounded by an ancient walled garden with a beautiful lily pond, and the working organic dairy farm, pottery and brickworks that make up Commonwork Farm. This special and unspoilt environment makes for a very relaxed weekend with a great sense of freedom. There is wonderful walking amongst the thousands of acres of surrounding countryside. The Sunday morning walk follows the Bore Place Field Trail. Suitable clothing and walking boots are advisable. Yoga classes take place in the listed 16th Century converted barn, an atmospheric space, being part of a group of historic barns within a courtyard, which have been renovated and converted to provide a comfortable and peaceful environment.

Accommodation for the weekend is at Bore Place House and also in the converted Old Stables and the Small Barn. All rooms are comfortable and well furnished, and are mostly twin-share although some single rooms are available. Bathroom facilities are shared.
For those wishing to get out of town earlier on Friday, there are country houses to visit, good walks and an excellent local pub, ‘The Wheatsheaf’, serving great lunches.

Travel by train from Charing Cross or London Bridge (average journey time of 35 minutes to Sevenoaks, with a taxi ride* to Commonwork Farm). Call National Rail Enquiries on 08457-484950. Driving from London can take up to two hours on Fridays, so please allow plenty of time. Full travel directions will be included in your information letter that will be sent to you two weeks before the weekend.

Oxon Hoath, a secluded country estate near Tonbridge in West Kent is surrounded by 73 acres of its own parkland hosting exotic trees, romantic gardens, woodlands, ancient courtyards and lake. Oxon Hoath was originally built more than 600 years ago as a royal park for the kingdom’s oxen and deer and has been the ancestral family home to eleven Knights of the Realm. Oxon Hoath is an ideally spacious destination for our yoga weekend offering peace, privacy and has two excellent practice facilities. On this weekend Simon will be accompanied by a special guest teacher. Classes will run concurrently, utilizing both studios.

You are free to attend any of the classes, to explore the house, and to use either of the two studios for self-practice. Many bedrooms in this splendid historic Grade Two listed building are en-suite and retain the original mansion proportions, many enjoying spectacular views over the grounds and the Weald of Kent beyond. Catering over the weekend will be vegetarian. There is a fully licensed bar offering an impressive selection of organic wine.

Trains to Tonbridge are frequent and can be taken from Charing Cross, Waterloo East & London Bridge. If leaving from Victoria change at either London Bridge or Redhill. Average journey time is 40 minutes.

VENUE - Villa Ferraia is located 26 kilometres south of Siena and sits on a secluded hilltop. The massive task of restoring the buildings (since destructon in the Second World War) has been going on since the early 90s when the property was purchased by Vittoria and Patrizia Cambria - guests were first hosted at the property in July 2007. The result is truly stunning. A large infinity swimming pool, 3 hot tubs and a sauna overlook the beautiful valley below and strolling around the lovely landscaped grounds is a pleasure in itself. For the more adventurous there are hiking trails through the many square miles of private forest.

Stargazers will enjoy the observatory, complete with a high-tech telescope, far from the light pollution of modern civilization. The local astronomical society is at our guests' disposal to explain the wonders of the night skies above.

A separate medieval stone building houses the library, a state-of-the-art cinema and lounges in which to relax and enjoy a movie or a book. There are several secluded sitting areas, which can be used for moments of solitude or social gatherings, in particular the outdoor lounge space called 'Domus Romano'.

PRICES INCLUDE - Daily maid service, twin share accommodation in en-suite rooms (single rooms at additional supplement subject to availability), full breakfast, lunch, dinner and all yoga classes. The price does not include any transfers, flights, insurance, laundry service, soft or alcoholic drinks.

SCHEDULE - Yoga classes take place in the mornings and late afternoons, with one afternoon and one morning off, to allow for private/group excursions to the many delights on offer in Tuscany. On request we can arrange local horse riding from the owner's private and renowned riding stables, walking tours, a cooking class, mountain bike riding, hot air balloon trips, aerial flights over Tuscany, a day at the shepherd's cottage making pecorino cheese, wine and olive oil tasting.
