KINDLING: A Baby & Me Retreat


Kindling - meaning to ignite a fire - is inspired by my own journey into motherhood and desire to keep my own flame alight while tending to baby's too. Our long weekend in Norfolk will be one in which through both flowing and restorative yoga practices, meditation, journalling and sound bath, there is ample space to reconnect with the self and journey deeper into our shifting identities as new mothers, as well as time dedicated to explore how best we can show up to nurture our babies, and build a supportive community amongst those on the same path. 

THE WHAT:  Three nights, three days of yoga, community and connection

THE WHEN: Friday 21st - Monday 24th November 2025

THE WHERE: The beautiful countryside, near King's Lynn in Norfolk

WHATS INCLUDED:

Three night's, three days at a beautiful countryside retreat in Norfolk - with access to 21 acres of countryside to explore, including wild swimming spots (for the brave), sanctuary gardens, lakeside walks, paddleboarding, row boats, fire pits and plenty of wildlife to spot

Two yoga classes a day designed especially for the post-natal body:  vinyasa flow/slow flow/restorative/yin (please note there will be only one class on arrival and departure days) 

Two journalling & meditation sessions a day

Sharing Circles

Soundbath and Yoga Nidra (relaxation practice) on one evening

All mats & props provided

Dedicated 'witching hour' space for those with babes less inclined to sleep through - including hot chocolates, cookies, snuggly blankets and some classic rom-coms to keep you company during the wee hours

Daily housekeeping

Towels and toiletries 

Optional beginner & baby friendly hike 

Optional local wine tasting 

Car parking

WHAT’S NOT INCLUDED:

Travel to/from West Lexham

Food & drink for baby

Sleep arrangements for baby (it is recommended to bring a travel cot)

Massages - available on request


ROOMS: 

All rooms are luxe and en-suite - and importantly sizeable enough to accommodate you, baby and a plus one should you wish to bring one. Designed to be a flexible retreat where you can switch off as much as desired, there are two options to join - solo Mum/Mum & Baby or Mum, Baby & Plus-One. 

Option One - Ensuite Barn House Rooms SOLD OUT

£775.00 for Solo Mum, or Mum & Baby

£1,150.00 for Mum, Baby & Plus One (bed can be double or twin)

Option Two - Private Ensuite Cabin

£850.00 for Solo Mum, or Mum & Baby

£1,225.00 for Mum, Baby & Plus One

Please note the Plus One cost includes all accommodation, food and an optional craft brewery visit for your plus one, but not their participation in the yoga practices, as this will be dedicated time for the mothers in attendance.

Don’t hesitate to come alone if that's for you - attending by yourself can be a truly magical experience and Kindling is designed to be a space for you to connect 🙂

POSTNATAL HEALTH

The general guidance in returning to fitness after birth is six weeks for women who have had a non-interventional birth, and twelve weeks for those who have had intervention or abdominal birth. That said, everyone is different and while all practices will be safe for post-partum bodies, please do check with your health professional if you are unsure. 

BABIES

For those planning on attending solo (without a plus one), the age limit is around one year old, or particularly mobile (starting to stand unassisted and confident walkers). This is to minimise disruption during classes, for both yourself and the other mothers.

For those bringing a plus one - toddlers up to the age of two are welcome, on the understanding that your plus one will be on baby duty during practice times.

BOOKING:

  • A non-refundable 40% deposit is required to reserve and confirm your space. 

  • The remaining 60% of payment is due ten-weeks prior to the retreat.

  • If an alternative payment plan would be more accessible for you, please do let me know. Bex can be as flexible as you need - three payments / four payments or even monthly installments (interest-free) are all options

  • If full payment is not received ten-weeks prior to departure (excepting any previously agreed payment plans), Bex Parker Smith reserve the right to resell your space. 

  • Upon paying the deposit and balance you are automatically agreeing to the booking and cancellation terms of the retreat. 

  • Nobody books onto a retreat with the intention to cancel, however - especially with babes to be mindful of - life can happen, and so it is very much encouraged you purchase holiday insurance once your space has been confirmed

Keen to join? Get in touch and let’s confirm your space.
