Aether Yoga Day Retreat - August 17th 2025 - Fire
Our day retreats are a mix of yoga sequences, breathwork, and meditation. The August date is themed around the element of fire to celebrate the strength of the summer sun as it moves into Leo🌟.
It's perfect for a reset, if you're stressed or just need a day for yourself, want to try something new or if you can't get to a regular yoga class.
You can expect -
🧘♀️ A morning yoga flow and a slow, relaxing session in the afternoon with me
🥗 A warming nourishing lunch by Skipton-based retreat chef Intentional Eats
🕉 Guided meditation and deep rest
🔥Fire ceremony to reflect on what’s no longer serving us
🍵 Hot teas, herbal teas, coffees all day & cacao at the end of the day.
I create a really lovely community feeling - we've had some fab groups of people so far coming solo, with family members, with friends, couples.
We have a large room and wood-fired yurt available in case of adverse weather so you’ll always be comfortable.
The yoga is suitable for all - the day is open to all genders, 16+. Feel free to bring your own props and mats, but I can also provide them.
🕰️ 10-4pm.
If you have any questions at all, just message Charlotte through the contact form or email cshort@aetheryoga.org.
See you in the woods!

August is Leo season, linked to the fire element. Setting a theme gives me a starting point to theme the yoga sequences around, so we'll have a more energetic flow in the morning to build up some heat and then a smouldering slow restorative session in the afternoon.
It's also a chance to think about what you want to burn away in life (negative thoughts, actions, ways of life) or build up & fuel, like you'd build a fire. Setting an intention for the day gives it a focus: it's rare we get a chance to connect to ourselves for a whole day away from work/kids/distractions so I'd love for everyone to take something useful back into life.
We'll also have a fire pit that we can sit around for some cacao and a closing chat . Watching fire is something so peaceful and ancestral, I really wanted to include it in the day.
Just a few places left for the retreat - we’re limited to 15 places. I'd love to see you there🔥✨
