Come to get back to your most calm, creative and authentic self, with yoga flows, dreamy massages, opportunities to try new things and memorably lovely food.
our Reviewer Emine Kali Rushton says of her Kent retreat:
‘I felt as though every thread of my being had been plucked and stretched - I felt vital, strong, liquid. Nourished too – as much by the yoga, teaching and setting, as by the food, which was a delicious highlight’
Queen of Retreats says:
‘Billed as 'not your average ashram', the vibe on these retreats is fun and friendly, and Stephanie sets the tone from the beginning. She’s chatty, funny, curious, laid-back and honest, teaching a light-hearted yet strong flow with funky playlists, and plenty of hands-on adjustments’

Luul Retreats
Founded by Stephanie Howard, a former city lawyer turned vinyasa and yin yoga teacher, Luul retreats are for women to press pause on their busy routines and prioritise themselves, emerging vibrant and energised. They run in the Cotswolds and Kent in England and across Europe, in Olhão and the Alentejo region of Portugal, on Paros and Zakynthos in the Greek islands, in Puglia, Italy, and in Spain - in the south of Ibiza, Alaior in Menorca, and near the stunning village of Santanyi in Mallorca. These breaks feature restorative vinyasa yoga sometimes paired with Pilates or barre, nourishing food, deeply relaxing massages and optional activities, such as wild swimming, surfing and island-hopping.
