WE ARE COMMITTED TO
Well structured programmes that balance learning, play and rest
Each Riverheart retreat is designed to give you the time and space you need to unwind and re-wire. Just a few days at Riverheart can recharge you, sending you back into the world with a new supply of energy and smiles.
Experienced, authentic and astute teachers
Our teachers are handpicked because they combine excellence in teaching with being kind and lovely people! Each one has contributed to the development of Riverheart, and it’s their ongoing energy and passion that helps give Riverheart it’s magical feeling. The perfect guides and mentors throughout your stay, our team will be on hand to welcome you into the Riverheart family.
Honesty and integrity at all times
It’s a guiding principle in the yoga yamas, or code of conduct, and an important part of the Riverheart experience – we only offer the things we can do thoughtfully and well, and that we’ve found to be of value.
Community development and support – locally and globally
Set up in 2017, the Asya Programme is the charitable arm of Riverheart. Through this scheme we offer a subsidised place on every retreat to someone who is struggling physically or emotionally, and who would benefit from being part of a retreat but couldn't normally afford it. We also offer voluntary placements for students wanting to help with the maintenance of Riverheart grounds, aiming to ensure the benefits of the creative and healing arts are accessible to those who need them most. Contact us
if you'd like to nominate yourself or a friend for either of these schemes. Nourishing & delicious food and drink
Good for the planet, good for the mind, body and soul. At Riverheart all of our food and drink is organic and grown locally wherever possible. We work with local permaculture farms and vegan chefs to ensure everything we provide is cruelty-free and gives back to the earth.
Eco-friendly and ethical in all investment and practice
One of the reasons Riverheart feels so special is because of the care we take to carry out all actions with love and thoughtfulness. Safeguarding the planet and our place on it isn’t just common sense, it’s soul sense. We use reclaimed materials where we can, employ local people, and ensure our time here leaves a positive imprint on this precious earth.
