Choosing a retreat

Which OhSo Yoga retreat is right for me?

OhSo Yoga runs four retreats: a 4-night yoga sailing retreat around Corfu in Greece, a 4-night villa retreat near Marrakech in Morocco, a 6-night yoga safari in South Africa's Nambiti Nature Reserve, and a one-day retreat near Reading in Berkshire. The table above compares dates, group sizes and prices. The Reading day retreat is the easiest way to try OhSo Yoga before travelling further.

Do most guests come on their own?

Yes. Most OhSo Yoga guests come on their own. Groups are small, from 9 to 16 people depending on the retreat, and shared meals and daily practice mean people settle in quickly.

Do I need to be experienced at yoga?

Beginners are welcome on OhSo Yoga retreats. Most guests have practised yoga before, so if you are new we recommend the beginners course, four one-hour sessions, before you travel so you can keep up comfortably in the daily practices.

Is it safe if I'm travelling solo?

OhSo Yoga retreats are designed so you are never left to find your own way. On the international retreats airport transfers are included, groups are small, and Stacey hosts every retreat herself from start to finish. Each retreat page explains the specifics, such as the guided souk tour in Morocco and the fenced, malaria-free reserve in South Africa.

Booking & payment

How do I book a retreat?

Choose your retreat and click "Hold my place". That takes you to secure checkout on WeTravel, where a £500 deposit confirms your place on an international retreat. Day retreats are paid in full when you book.

Can I pay in instalments?

Yes. On international retreats, a £500 deposit holds your place and the rest is split into monthly payments, with the final balance due 30 days before departure. Day retreats are paid in full when you book.

How do I avoid the card service charge?

Choose "UK Bank Account" as your payment method at the WeTravel checkout to avoid the card service charge.

What's your cancellation policy?

OhSo Yoga deposits are non-refundable. If OhSo Yoga has to cancel or change a retreat, you can transfer your deposit to another retreat starting within 12 months. Travel insurance is compulsory, so you can claim through your policy if your own plans change. Full details are on the Terms & Conditions page; please read these before booking.

Is travel insurance required?

Yes, travel insurance is compulsory on every OhSo Yoga retreat, including UK day retreats. It is the one non-negotiable, and we ask for proof of cover before you join us. It should cover medical care and the dates and location of your trip, and cancel-for-any-reason cover is strongly recommended.

On retreat

What should I pack?

Comfortable yoga clothes, a reusable water bottle, a journal and anything that helps you feel at ease. We send a specific packing list for your retreat once you have booked. For the Reading day retreat, just bring a blanket and warm socks for the sound bath.

Can I share a room with a friend, or have my own space?

Both are usually available. Shared rooms are the most popular choice for solo travellers who would like company, and private rooms suit anyone who wants their own space. Couples rooms are available on some retreats. Options vary, so check the individual retreat page.

Can dietary requirements be catered for?

Yes. All dietary requirements can be catered for on every OhSo Yoga retreat. Just tell us when you book.

Is anything extra included when I book?

Every booking on the Greece, Morocco and South Africa retreats includes 3 months of OhSo Yoga online classes, worth £57, to use before or after your trip.

Video library

How do I get access to the online video library?

Access is by subscription. Go to the Video Library page and enter the email address you would like to subscribe with. You will receive a confirmation email with your private access link.

Why are the videos unlisted on YouTube?

It keeps the library just for subscribers rather than public in YouTube search. Same videos, just a private door in.

Travel insurance

Do I need travel insurance?

Yes. Travel insurance is a condition of booking, and the booking form asks you to confirm you have it. Your policy needs to cover the location and dates of the retreat, and include medical and natural disaster cover.

Which policy you choose and how much cover you buy is up to you. OhSo Yoga can't recommend an insurer, advise on a policy or confirm that you're covered, so please check the details with your insurer before you buy. Where a retreat has specific insurance requirements, you'll find them in the FAQs on that retreat's page.

When should I buy it?

It's worth arranging as soon as you've booked, because retreat payments are generally non-refundable. Our Terms and Conditions have the details.

Something to think about

Standard cancellation cover usually applies only to specific reasons, such as illness. Some insurers offer wider "cancel for any reason" cover, so you may like to ask whether yours does and what it includes.

I don't live in the UK. Does this still apply?

Yes. Please choose a policy that covers you from your home country, and ask your insurer the same questions.

Still wondering? Just ask.

We're always happy to talk it through, and we'll get back to you within 1–2 working days.
