Coastal Yoga Retreats

Purchase gift voucher

Do you long to feel stronger in your body, calmer in your mind, and more at ease within yourself?

Step away from the pace of everyday life and join me in the beautiful South Devon countryside for a Simply Soulful Coastal Retreat — a space to pause, breathe, and gently return to yourself.

Held at the peaceful and nurturing Merrifield House, nestled in the heart of the South Hams, these retreats invite you to reconnect with what truly matters. Surrounded by nature’s beauty — rolling green fields, fresh coastal air, and wide open skies — you’ll be supported to slow down, soften, and rediscover your natural balance.

Through a blend of yoga, meditation, mindful movement and nature-inspired experiences, you’ll be guided to “smile on the inside” — cultivating a sense of ease, clarity, and quiet joy from within. These retreats offer more than the physical benefits of yoga, such as improved strength, flexibility, and resilience. They are a deeply personal and immersive experience designed to nurture your whole being — body, mind, and soul. A chance to step back, reflect, and reset in a safe, supportive and restorative environment.

Leave feeling lighter, clearer, and gently reconnected — returning home refocused, rebalanced, and re-energised.

Testimonials

"I had the most wonderful weekend at Donna’s Simply Soulful Yoga Retreat in beautiful Devon. Donna is a wonderful host, and the food was deliciously nutritious, homemade and mostly grown by her. The accommodation was lovely, everything was so well organised, and Donna’s yoga sessions struck the perfect balance of supportive yet gently challenging. The extras made it unforgettable, a sea swim, SUP yoga that tested my balance, a yoga cliff walk, and magical star gazing. I left feeling truly cared for, deeply rested, and completely switched off - An experience I’d recommend to anyone looking for a magical escape" C.K.

"Design Your Own Retreat: Donna immediately put us at ease on arrival at Merrifield House. Our rooms were very comfortable and clean. We started the day with Hatha Yoga. We came out of the session revitalised and ready to start the day. Donna’s understanding of nutrition alongside the benefits of Yoga was also a highlight as she answered our questions thoroughly and knowledgeably. I would thoroughly recommend. We all came away with special moments, re-vitalised and re- energise" P.T.

"Donna created an amazing and wonderful [bespoke yoga] weekend for us all. Everything was thought of. Loved the outside space and the communal area was perfect. The yoga was great and location beautiful, Kingsbridge and Hope Cove are hidden treasures. Thank you so much Donna" N.F.

"From the beautiful bedrooms, to the chia seed breakfast pots, the kombucha, the lesson in composting to the starlit yoga nidra, your spirit and kindness shone through. We really enjoyed every moment - especially the SUP yoga, the drizzly beach yoga and the incredible walk. I, for one, feel truly blessed to have shared this time with you and your other clients. And, although my hips may never be open, I feel I worked every single part of my body and felt deep relaxation from our first yin session. Congratulations on building a really special offering, rare in the UK!" L.C.

"This was simply the best yoga [retreat] weekend imaginable - packed with the perfect balance of joyous activities and time for relaxation and reflection - and fantastic food. There was something new and exciting for everyone, both those new to yoga, and experienced practitioners, whether it was the combination of yoga and SUP, giggles during hula or the magical way that Donna themed the yoga to the relevant elements. Nothing was too much trouble, and we felt like welcomed friends into a much-loved home. A huge and heartfelt thank you, for one of the best weekends I have ever had, in such a hidden gem of the South Devon coast" A.H.

"We had a fantastic [retreat] weekend with Simply Soulful Yoga. It was a perfect celebration for our friend’s big birthday and one that we will all never forget. Donna and Marcus were fantastic hosts - a weekend is only that much fun and goes that smoothly with a lot of care and attention. Highlights included SUP yoga and campfire music. I came back full of energy with so many happy memories! Thank you" A.D.
