secret retreat

the secret retreat 2nd-7th june, 2026

Surrounded by stunning nature, on a centuries-old estate, enjoy five days of laughter, rest and nourishment. It's a classic tlc retreat, but with a fun twist... 

Where we are going is a secret! The earlier you book, the more you save. 

you may not know where you are going yet, but...

here's what i can tell you

This retreat is the best kind of surprise, one where you know the most important bits- how you will feel, what your days will look like, and that you will have 5 days of laughter, hugs, yoga and amazing food. You just won't know where you are going till it's revealed on the 9th of February!

how it works:

- If you book by the 1st of February, you will save £300, but you will only have the clues on travel times and average temperatures below

- If you book the 2nd-8th of February, you will save £150, and you will know what continent we are headed to, plus receive a clue about a special local activity we will be doing

- If you book the 9th of February onwards, you'll pay full price and have all of the info and exact location.

Elena’s retreats are like being welcomed into the most incredible, warm and kind family.

The yoga is so much fun, but totally relaxing at the same time. I always feel so much better after practising yoga with Elena. Thank you for being the most incredible soul!

I'm Elena Consoli, a full-time yoga teacher, yoga teacher trainer, coffee addict and founder of the lovely catalyst. My mission in all things is to be a catalyst for good.

Whether you join me for a 5-minute on-demand session, a live online class for an hour, a 5 day retreat or a full 200 hour yoga teacher training- my goals are the same: 

- Give you a warm welcome

- Create a safe, fun and restful space for you

- Help you to leave feeling a little lighter than when you began

- Cheer you on to rest or challenge yourself as needed

- Give you the "me-time" you need so that you can go out and create positive ripples in the world 

When it comes to big leaps like retreats or trainings, I will only allow you to book if we have had a chat or already know each other. It's important to me that you are happy to participate in a retreat that will have coffee and desserts, classes that will have us dancing to Motown, and meals that will be full of laughter. If you'd prefer a silent retreat, or a detox retreat, or yoga practices without music, then you will not enjoy my retreats. Please feel free to chat with me before booking. I want you to be on the right retreat for YOU!
