The Pakefield Retreat Centre is a peaceful cottage in a quiet seaside location on England’s east coast where you can walk on the nearby beaches, relax, practice yoga, take time to reflect and journal.
The retreat centre was established in 2003 to offer workshops, retreats and satsangs in the Yasodhara Yoga tradition. We offer foundational teachings from Swami Sivananada Radha ¬– Kundalini Yoga, the Divine Light Invocation, Dream Yoga, Mantra Yoga Karma Yoga and Hidden Language Hatha Yoga. Our signature workshops give yoga students and teachers from any yogic tradition an opportunity to develop a broader understanding of yoga and enter deeply into their own process of relaxation, concentration, clarification and meditation.

Yoga Workshop – Practicing Asteya in Daily Life – Saturday, 28 November 2026
Asteya literally translates to ‘non-stealing or non-coveting’ and is one of the key virtues of a yogic life. Yet Patanjali’s yoga sutra promises us great wealth or ‘all the Jewels’. How this succinct Yama, can be so helpful to us, and convey so much, so simply? How can you make yourself available and open yourself to the abundance that life offers?
Join this Light filled workshop to stretch, reflect and explore the areas of your life where this practical guidance can bring joy – with Swami Sukhananda
When: Saturday 28 November, 4.45 to 6.45pm (London Time)
Where: online (we will also be joining online as a group from Pakefield)

Events
Yoga Retreat Weekend – Nourish yourself – 27-29 November 2026
The Yasodhara Yoga European Network is supported the Radha House Association, a registered charity. Its role is to help make Swami Radha’s teachings available in Europe, by providing classes at accessible prices, offering opportunities for students and teachers to get together and participate in Karma Yoga and satsangs without charge or with a bursary and by making yoga books and CDs available to students.
Our theme this year is nourishment at every level – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. We will be reflecting on what this means for us as members of a multi-generational community dedicated to growing towards the Light, learning and supporting one another in the tradition and lineage of Swami Radha.
Everyone is invited – in-person or online. Find out about what we do: We will review August 2025 to July 2026, including our 30th anniversary celebrations. Vote and have your say! Better still, stay for our workshop on Asteya (se details above).
Where: online (we will also be joining online as a group from Pakefield)
