Fire and Bliss

Just back from my first ever yoga retreat with Fire and Bliss. What a way to start! The venue is fabulous and well appointed and the programme was a challenging and inspiring mix of challenging sessions, relaxing and refocussing sessions, plus sound baths and mantra workshop. I learned a lot, enjoyed the group classes so much and came away inspired, relaxed and refreshed. Met some lovely people too.
If you are wondering if a retreat is for you, I would say “yes, yes yes!” Just book it! You won’t be disappointed.

Thank you Ola, Ale, Gaga, Anne-Marie and Sophie for such an amazing weekend. I loved every minute and it was wonderful meeting so many new souls, feeling truly relaxed and balanced because of the wonderful sanctuary you created 😘💞 x

An absolutely huge thank you to Ola, Ale and the whole team for making us so welcome – a truly outstanding yoga retreat experience – luxury accommodation, delicious food and a very full and varied asana program indeed – and I must add an absolutely top massage therapist in Lady Gaga ! 😂👍🏻 – I couldn’t possibly have asked for more !
Hope you all enjoy tomorrow’s offerings and with luck our paths may cross again at a future Fire and Bliss retreat!
Much love

Hi yogis – I love love loved every minute of the weekend – thank you all for being so friendly and warm – thanks especially to Ale and Ola for the hugs, smiles, advice, patience and hard work you both put in to make it so super special. 🙏🏻 Just a thought- next time maybe we could fit in just a few more child’s poses? In fact a 2hr workshop on child’s pose would work well I think? Xxx

THANK YOU SO MUCH Ola and Ale, for a super weekend – It was an absolute tonic and just what I needed.
The yoga classes were the best I’ve ever done, the food was fabulous, the setting was blissful in every way, we were so well looked after by the F&B team and to share all that with such a wonderful bunch of people was an experience I’ll always treasure.
I’m very inspired by lots of things this weekend, lots of ideas and positive changes I can action and I’m ready and raring to get back to normality….tomorrow!!!

Emily

I am a bit late with my thanks for such a wonderful weekend of yoga and friendship, but the sentiments are not diminished by the tardiness of this note. Thanks to Ale, Ola, Gaga, Hannah, and Sophie for your superb organisation, excellent yoga instruction, first class massage, and delicious food…all of which enabled us to meet our fellow yogis in an atmosphere of calm and encouragement. Keep the “Fire and Bliss” nurturing in your souls.

Lois

Heartfelt thank you from me to Ola, Ale, Gaga, Hannah and Sophie for an exceptional weekend. Fire & Bliss…and then some of my fellow yogis…my yoga family just keeps getting bigger and better and more beautiful. Hope to see you all next year?

Tash

Ale and Ola – wow! This was your 2nd retreat and you pulled off a miracle of a weekend for all of us! I am so grateful! 🙏💖
And the best part for me was meeting all of you gorgeous inspiring people with so much light and beauty coming out of you all – I will not forget this! My first yoga retreat and the people that made it oh soo very special ❤

Milena

By far the BEST weekend I have had in a long time. It was great to meet so many new lovely souls 😊 Ale and Ola you should both be so very proud of the retreat you have given us, everything was perfect and you girls are just amazing xxxx

Nathaly

Wow – what an incredible weekend at the Fire & Bliss retreat with Ale and Ola and a group of wonderful yogis. Over the course of the weekend I found myself with time and space to stop, reflect and push myself physically, leading to some really powerful energy shifts. I felt huge benefits from stepping out of my usual routine, arriving with an open heart and mind and immersing myself in ‘all things yoga’ within a supportive, fun and nurturing environment. The encouragement, companionship and support from the other yogis was truly beautiful.

In addition there was plentiful mouth-wateringly delicious fresh food, lots of laughter and beautiful and comfortable surroundings. Ale and Ola (and the team) are wonderful, knowledgeable teachers who were there to guide and encourage us all throughout the weekend. A magical massage from Gosia was the icing on the cake as well! Thank you so much Fire & Bliss team – I would recommend this experience to anyone 😊

Becky

The setting is incredibly peaceful and beautiful, and the conversion of the farm buildings into a retreat centre has been done to the highest standard. And the food is superb – you won’t go hungry here! But at the heart of what makes these retreats special is Ale and Ola’s teaching, and their longstanding friendship. Their styles of teaching are different but complementary, and both are skilled in giving the right blend of support and challenge to help participants expand what they believe they’re capable of. Furthermore, they both see yoga as something lived off the mat, not just practised on it. A deep dive weekend for committed yogis – highly recommended.

Alan

Just wanted to say thank you to you all for Such an amazing weekend. It was so lovely to meet you all and hope to see you again on another retreat xx

Amanda

Ola and Ale have put together something very special in their Fire and Bliss retreats. First and foremost the yoga is fantastic. Whatever your level your practice will develop. You will be guided into trying something new or achieving something that you haven’t before.
The gong baths are a perfect way to end the days. The food was delicious and there was always plenty of it.
The people on each retreat of course will always create a different dynamic. I was lucky last weekend to share mine with a group who were kind, welcoming and smiling.

Zoe Jones

I went to the Fire and Bliss yoga retreat that Ola and Ale ran in September ‘19 – it was my first ever retreat and it was amazing! Couldn’t recommend highly enough. The venue was gorgeous, the schedule is a yogi’s dream come true – from the variety of yoga classes through to the gong and sound-baths. I left the retreat feeling rebalanced and relaxed.
