THE VENUE
PICKWELL ESTATE
Tika and her family love living at Pickwell, a Victorian Estate of 100+ acres in the heart of Sussex. They enjoy spending time with family and friends in the gardens, whilst taking in the wonderful nature that surrounds them.
The enormous gardens allow you to take in the views of the palm trees, rockeries, parkland, woods, lakes, paddocks and stables with flying displays by House Martins, Swallows, Wagtails, Woodpeckers, Pheasants, Geese, Kestrels and Buzzards.
​
The summer months allow everyone to gather by the heated pool, having BBQ's and viewing the stars & planets at night. You can even take deck chairs and cool boxes and enjoy a bite to eat by the lake.
In the autumn and winter, you can walk around the estate, watching the seasons change and taking in the beautiful nature of woodlands and lakes that surround you.
​
Spring brings nature into another circle of re-birth around the estate and this year's Spring 2021, brings a new beginning for the family and their home as they are opening YogaByNature. This venue has been created for yoga lovers, to bring their practice out of the cities and into the calm and tranquillity offered by the stunning nature that surrounds Pickwell.
Although rural, Pickwell is ideally located. Only 5 minutes from the A23, 10 minutes from Cuckfield or Burgess Hill, 15 minutes from Haywards Heath (with its 45 minute train journey to London Bridge or Victoria) and 20 minutes from Brighton & Hove.
At YogaByNature you can be assured of a warm welcome, whether you are here for a 60 minute class or an all day retreat.

NATURE
WALKS & MEDITATION
On bright, sunny days the teacher and students might like to hold the class outside and you are spoiled for choice, with lawns, parkland and woodland clearings to make your practice at YogaByNature truly memorable.
​
You can also do walking meditations through the woods & lakes or simply allow yourselves to walk and immerse into nature throughout the paths and forest.
HOME COOKING
CATERING
If you are attending an all-day retreat or workshop, there is a selection of teas, served in the kitchen throughout the day. For lunch, we will typically offer seasonal home-cooked soups and salads with Artisan breads followed by dessert. You can eat in the Dining Room, outside on the patio or maybe take your tea and cake and sit on one of the lawns in the sunshine.
