Return to Stillness and Reconnect
Join Us for a End-of-Year
Ananda Sanga Yoga & Meditation Retreat
11-13 December 2026: Somerset West, WC
Come Home to Yourself
A Three-Day Year-End Retreat at Ananda Sanga
Step away from the busyness of everyday life and into a space of nature, connection, laughter and inner renewal.
This year, our year-end retreat returns to the heart of our own yoga community – a place we know and love, with a beautiful, lush garden alive with birdsong, quiet corners to pause and breathe, and a welcoming atmosphere that invites you to slow down and simply be.
Over three days, experience something a little different: an ashram-inspired retreat where the practice of yoga extends beyond the mat and meditation cushion into the way we share, interact, laugh and connect.
Expect meaningful practices, moments of stillness, spontaneous laughter, new friendships and the simple joy of being part of a community. There will be opportunities to spend personal time with our teachers, share experiences, make new connections and enjoy the kind of conversations that rarely happen in the rush of everyday life.
You don’t need to escape to a faraway destination to experience the richness of a retreat. Sometimes, the most meaningful journey begins in a familiar place — when you give yourself the time and space to experience it differently.
Three days. One community. Space to breathe, connect and renew.
Come for the yoga, meditation and inspiration. Stay for the laughter, the friendships, the garden, the birdsong and the feeling of belonging.
The retreat is designed as a three-day, daytime experience. Limited accommodation is available at the centre for those who would like to stay on-site and immerse themselves more fully in the retreat atmosphere.
Make this year-end a time to reconnect with yourself and others – and leave feeling refreshed, uplifted and connected.
This personal retreat is designed to help you release stress, restore balance, and prepare for the new year with intention and clarity.
