About the weekend
Come and enjoy a weekend of Yoga at the Purelands retreat center set within the grounds of Samey Ling, the first Tibetan center to be set up in the west in 1967. The weekend will be an opportunity to detach from the routine of everyday life, enjoy great food, company and absorb yourself in the joy of Yoga practice.

There will be some free time Saturday afternoon to go for a relaxing walk by the river or around the grounds, chill in the Tibetan tea rooms, browse around the shop or simply sit quietly in one of the main shrine rooms which are stunning, dedicated to the teachings of Tibetan Buddhism.

Arrival time is for 6.00 on the Friday with a light evening practice/meditation followed by three sessions on Saturday comprising of morning, late afternoon and evening meditation practice. On Sunday there is morning and afternoon practice and retreat ends around 3.00. The retreat center is a very peaceful environment to support your practice and the practice room over looks the countryside and has under floor heating.

The weekend is suitable to those with previous experience and is an opportunity to go deeper and explore a wider range of practices including Asana, Pranayama, meditation and more. These weekends always have a great social vibe with many regulars returning each time.
