Rooted in respect for the land and guided by a love of simplicity, The Yoga Yurt invites you to slow down, reconnect, and be part of something a little bit magical.

The Yoga Yurt is more than a studio – it’s a peaceful retreat in nature.

Tucked away in the peaceful hills of Holmsted Himalayas in Cuckfield, our 24ft handcrafted yurt sits quietly overlooking the ancient woodland of West Sussex. Surrounded by open skies and birdsong, it offers a place to pause - to practise, restore, and simply be.


Our welcoming space invites all levels to explore yoga, meditation, and holistic wellness.
Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced yogi, you’ll find community and support here.

Log burner, wood stove to keep the yurt warm and cosy, for our classes during the colder months and evenings..
