Welcome to Birch Springs

Our intimate yoga studio accommodates up to four people, ensuring every session feels genuinely personal and attentive. Large windows frame views of the surrounding forest, bringing nature into your practice whether you're flowing through dynamic sequences, settling into restorative poses, or sitting in meditation. The small scale means instructors can truly see and support each participant, whilst the forest views provide that essential connection to the natural world that deepens any practice. This isn't a studio where you're one face among dozens; here, you're seen, held and supported in exactly the way transformative work requires.

The Swedish garden sauna accommodates up to four guests in its warmth, creating conditions for deep relaxation and detoxification that humans have valued for millennia. Stepping from the sauna's embrace into our outdoor rain shower provides that exhilarating shift from heat to cool, awakening every nerve ending and leaving you feeling vibrantly alive. For those seeking a more dramatic contrast, the cold plunge pool offers that shocking, enlivening immersion that Nordic cultures have long understood as essential for vitality and resilience. This isn't merely about physical benefits, though those are profound; it's about the mental clarity and emotional reset that comes from moving through these elemental experiences.

Our heated swimming pool serves multiple purposes throughout the day and evening. During warmer months, it provides space for gentle exercise, playful connection or simple floating contemplation. As the sun lowers, this same pool transforms into something altogether more mystical: our signature sound bath venue. Participants float supported by the water whilst therapeutic frequencies wash over and through them, creating an immersive healing experience that land-based sound baths simply cannot match. The combination of water's support, the forest setting, and carefully chosen vibrational healing creates a profound sense of being held by something larger than yourself.

Our dedicated treatment space offers a tranquil setting designed specifically for one-to-one therapeutic work. Whether you're receiving massage, reflexology, holistic facial treatments or energy healing, this private room provides the comfort and professional setup that allows practitioners to work at their highest level. The forest views, natural light and thoughtful design create an environment where deep healing becomes possible, where you can truly let go and allow the work to unfold. This is a space that honours both the therapeutic relationship and your need for privacy and sanctuary.

The two luxury yurts represent accommodation reimagined, each containing four comfortable double beds that create unique shared spaces working beautifully for families, friend groups or small retreat gatherings. These aren't basic camping structures but carefully appointed luxury spaces that combine the romance and connection of sleeping within nature with all the comforts modern travellers expect. Proper beds with quality linens, heating for cooler evenings, and thoughtful design details transform the yurt experience from rustic to refined. Waking in these spaces, with morning light filtering through canvas and birdsong surrounding you, offers a profound reminder that we belong to the natural world, not separate from it.

Beyond the built facilities, the private woodland grounds themselves become part of your experience. Hidden throughout you'll find quiet spots perfect for journaling or contemplation, hammocks strung between ancient trees inviting afternoon rest, and pathways that lead you deeper into the forest's embrace. For groups, we offer our increasingly popular silent disco experiences here, where participants don wireless headphones and dance beneath the trees, creating a magical atmosphere of collective joy and individual expression. The woodland isn't just a backdrop; it's an active participant in your transformation, offering the profound silence and natural beauty that allows your own innate wisdom to emerge.
