Winter Solstice Half Day Retreat
With Senior Yoga Teacher Maura Barber-Oosterhuis
Sunday 21st December 2025 2pm-6pm
Winter Solstice Half Day Retreat
This year's Winter Solstice falls on Sunday 21st December (at 3.03pm to be precise) and offers a potent opportunity to pause, reflect, and realign. Honouring this special moment and celebrating the return of light with kindred spirits is always a meaningful experience. We'd love you to join us!
Your host Maura warmly welcomes you here at Wasing Estate to celebrate Winter Solstice. This profound seasonal threshold is a powerful moment to look back upon our journey, reflect on what we have learned along the way and consider what wisdom we will be taking with us in the new solar year. It’s a time of hope and a time to dream of new beginnings.
Our special gathering features an inward-focussed Winter 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.
Groups are small, with lots of space and personal attention. No experience is necessary and beginners are very welcome. The retreat takes place at the beautiful Pavilion yoga studio, yoga mats, props, blankets and eye pillows are all provided.
Our Winter Solstice Half Day Retreat includes:
- Welcome circle
- Inward-focussed Winter Flow Yoga practice (incl Somatic Movements, breathwork and meditation)
- Silent woodland walk and hilltop meditation
- Cacao ritual
- Wholesome treats
- Journaling (guided by journal prompts)
- Time to reflect and set intentions
- Use of essential oils and self-massage
- Restorative Yoga (incl optional light hands-on touches)
- Deep guided relaxation and luxuriously long Savasana
- Take-home seasonal reflections
Please make sure you wear something comfortable and warm, and bring suitable clothing and footwear for our walk, and pen and paper for journaling.

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)
