Autumn Equinox Half Day Retreat
With Senior Yoga Teacher Maura Barber-Oosterhuis
Sunday 21st September 2025 2pm-6pm
Autumn Equinox Half Day Retreat
The change of seasons offers a potent opportunity to pause, reflect, and realign. As the pace of summer fades, autumn invites us to slow down, replenish our energy, and set meaningful intentions for the months ahead.
On the eve of the Autumn Equinox - when day and night stand in perfect balance - your host Maura warmly welcomes you here at Wasing Estate for a celebration of harvest, transformation, and connection. This profound seasonal threshold is a powerful moment to honour our personal harvests, embrace change, and seek greater balance in our lives as we prepare for the season to come.
Our special gathering features a grounding Autumn Flow Yoga practice (including Somatic Movements and breathwork), use of essential oils and self massage, a silent woodland walk and hilltop meditation, a cacao ritual with time to journal, reflect and set intentions, Restorative Yoga and a luxuriously long relaxation (including light, massage-like touches). Wholesome treats are also included, as well as your take-home seasonal reflections.
This half day retreat takes place at our beautiful Pavilion Yoga studio.
Groups are small, with lots of space and personal attention. No experience is necessary and beginners are very welcome. Yoga mats, props, blankets and eye pillows are all provided.

Senior Yoga Teacher Maura Barber-Oosterhuis
Maura’s love of yoga is infectious. Her guidance is 'soulful and seasonal' and focuses on deepening breath, body and self-awareness. Committed to offering a heartfelt experience she will encourage you to reach further by breathing fully and feeling deeply. Her 25 years of yoga experience range from the dynamic Ashtanga and Vinyasa Flow Yoga to the gentler Somatic Movements, Yin and Restorative Yoga. With a keen interest in mindfulness and meditation Maura's unique style is infused with these. She feels hugely inspired by the teachings of Ayurveda and loves sprinkling her offerings with little gems of Ayurvedic wisdom. Always taught from the heart, Maura’s gently flowing yoga is a compassionate blend of deep breathing and mindful moving.
"I love celebrating the seasons. Recognising and honouring the changes in nature always encourages me to adjust my own rhythms accordingly. Moving with the energy of the Earth feels beneficial on many levels and definitely helps my day to day life flow with more ease. Honouring the seasons with like minded people is always a powerful experience, it would be lovely to have you with us!" - Maura (Tranquil Flow Yoga)
