Yeotown Health Retreat

Do you want to wake up in the morning feeling energised, looking great and ready to tackle your day? Are you running a big company, raising children, recovering from illness, in training for a big athletic goal? Are you suffering from burnout, anxiety, stress or a gut/hormonal imbalance? Or are you simply facing a crossroads in your life where you recognise the time has come to put you back in charge of your health and wellbeing?
Here at Yeotown we’ve spent thirteen years working with people just like you. We can promise that whatever your background or current level of health and fitness, we will help you achieve that life-affirming goal of taking control of your wellbeing, taking ownership of your health and taking your life to that next level of engagement and enjoyment.

PRESS THE PAUSE BUTTON......
Our multi-award winning 5-day signature programme is called the Yeotox. It’s Yeotown’s modern take on a traditional detox retreat where we focus on giving our minds and bodies a break from the everyday stressors of modern living.
During your time with us, you will very quickly begin to feel more energised, more engaged and more empowered. Armed with knowledge so you can make and maintain healthier choices when you return to your everyday life. We’re all about health and fitness but in a way that supports and celebrates your physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing.

FEEL GOOD INSIDE AND OUTSIDE.......
The beautiful design of Yeotown is not lost on our guests who continuously admire its inviting ambience and attention to detail. Each bedroom has been mindfully interior designed with no two rooms alike. With names like Gratitude, Courage, Wisdom and Curiosity, all of our rooms at Yeotown have been named after key character strengths and virtues as identified in Positive Psychology, otherwise known as the “Science of Happiness”. Studies have shown the importance of identifying and building upon our existing strengths or cultivating unrealised strengths to better navigate through life, work and relationships.

PROUD TO SUPPORT........
At Yeotown, we are thrilled to support the incredible Dash2Devon challenge! Currently underway and finishing today, participants will embark on a 300-mile journey from Great Bardfield in Essex to Croyde Bay in Devon. This epic adventure includes 3 days of cycling through 5 counties and 3 national parks, the first-ever Rose Ash to Putsborough marathon, and a mass kayak from Putsborough Beach to Croyde Bay. It's a tough challenge, but one we are excited to support!

The scale of this challenge reflects the immense love and admiration for Juliet, who dedicated much of her life to working with and providing therapy for young children in need. Her legacy continues through the Juliet Garmoyle Fund and Place2Be, a charity that offers vital mental health services in schools. Funds raised from this challenge will help expand these services throughout schools in the South West, ensuring children receive the support they need.

Join us in supporting this meaningful cause! Together, we can make a difference.

THE FUEL OF WELLBEING.......
We’re not your typical juice fast, boot camp, weight loss holiday, or spa break. Instead, we offer an authentic haven of health. Our program emphasises what you can gain, steering away from deprivation or restriction. We view movement and our relationship with food as a lifelong journey, continuously adapting exercise and eating habits to life's challenges. During your stay, we promote taking a break from certain foods to gain perspective and clarity. This empowers you to identify what may be doing more harm than good, fostering a new understanding that can help you enjoy other aspects of life more mindfully and balanced.
