Woodingdean & Castle Hill

£35 | 4-5 hours

Enjoy a hiking and yoga experience in one of Brighton's most impressive nature reserves. The valleys feel entirely isolated, and there are brilliant views of the sea and rolling hills from up high.

Forest Bathing Castle Hill Brighton

Relax and Let Go

We will start the day with Qi-Gong to clear the mind before heading for a scenic stroll through rolling hills, fantastic views, and an adorable little forest. We will stop for a beginner-friendly yoga session and experience nature with all our senses.

Yoga in Nature

The yoga class is beginner-friendly and suitable for all levels. We will concentrate on oiling the joints and stretching out the whole body from head to toe to feel more open and spacious in body and mind
