Seasonal Surrender: Yoga, Lunch, Walk & Creative Workshop

Sunday 2nd November | 10am – 4pm |

Join Katya & Mercedes for a nourishing day of movement, creativity, and seasonal reflection at Goodnestone Park. The day begins with Katya’s signature vinyasa yoga class, attuned to the shift from autumn into winter – focusing on surrendering through breath, resting after movement, and restructuring mental attitudes through the physical body. Afterward, we’ll enjoy a delicious three-course lunch prepared by the Old Dairy Café, followed by a ‘Walk, Talk & Draw’ session led by artist Mercedes Lucy.

This mindful walk through the estate grounds invites you to observe the changing landscape, feeding into a gentle drawing workshop that explores themes of transition and letting go of the past.

We’ll close with a grounding meditation guided by Katya, weaving together the day’s experiences and inviting warmth and steadiness as we move into the winter months.
