retreats

Yoga Retreats at Viveka Gardens in Devon are residential, day and bespoke.

Viveka Gardens is a retreat place with yoga exercise, meditation, prayer and food growing.

Hidden in rural Mid Devon VG is away from the world. You can drop and relax with spiritual practice, nature and wholesome home-cooked vegan food.

There’s a gentle ‘rule of life’ with morning and evening contemplation, meditation walks, table fellowship and optional tasks in the garden, orchard, woodland and fields.

Viveka is a Sanskrit term meaning discernment, or wisdom, or coming to understand the true reality. The retreat place is entirely vegan, and the land is managed with no animal inputs and to encourage biodiversity.

Fiona Law is the founder of VG and an experienced yoga teacher. She also offers life coaching and spiritual accompaniment.

A wonderful Yoga retreat centre that is run by the awesome Fiona Law. I cherish my time there and will be back for more nourishing food, astounding nature, restorative yoga and comfortable and clean surroundings. All my senses were attended to and I came home refreshed and able to take on all my challenges. I also met some wonderful people that I hope will become friends. C, Exeter

My first experience of a yoga retreat which proved to be what my body and mind were in need of. Fiona led our small group of mixed abilities through various types of yoga, shared some practice in meditation and some gardening which encouraged group participation. The accommodation is comfortable and spacious. Meals are prepared wherever possible with vegetables fresh from the garden and were good. This is a retreat from a busy world which I’m sure many could benefit from like myself. Thank you Fiona. A, Torrington

Fiona put together a bespoke mid-week retreat for myself and three friends. We were warmly welcomed into her lovely home. We were very comfortable in the barn bedroom with a lovely shower room and the loft with a roll top bath. Wonderful food, yin and yoga nidra, walks and a fire pit! I’m sure we’ll return in the future. Many thanks. H, Beer

What a joy to meet Fiona and spend time at Viveka Gardens. My spirit, my body and my mind were gently nourished with yoga, meditation, beautiful vegan food and Fiona’s intuitive care of her guests. Bliss. D, Southend
