About us

We are Snowdrop, a mother and daughter retreat company based in the rolling hills of Shropshire. Covering Yoga, Nature and Creativity, we offer immersive experiences which restore the soul.

 

Our retreats are for all. Whatever your age, ability or experience, we welcome anyone who shares our profound interest in wellbeing.

Vicky

Vicky started practicing yoga as a child and has taught and run retreats in the UK and overseas for  30 years. Her initial yoga training was whilst living in an ashram for 2 years - living, breathing, eating the yogic way. She later trained in pregnancy, postnatal, kids & families yoga, restorative yoga,  yin yoga, chair yoga, pilates, core strength and yogalates. More recently she completed a diploma in yoga therapy, providing greater understanding of exercise for specific conditions and injuries. She now teaches classes in and around Shrewsbury.

 

Alongside these, she runs a garden design practice and offers garden workshops on all aspects of gardening, including her passion of growing your own veg and cut flowers.

Rosa

Rosa trained in fashion & textiles and her main focus now is working with textiles: hand sewing, machine sewing, fibre arts, natural dyeing and printing. She makes many of her own clothes and is passionate about upcycling and using natural materials and techniques. She runs our creative workshops and creative sessions on some retreats. Some of her popular workshops are sewing your own clothes, fabric dyeing with plants and linocut on paper and fabric.

 

Sustainability

Sustainability is a fundamental part of our business. We work to protect and respect our planet in every way we can with travel, food and resources. Where possible, we travel by train to our overseas retreats. For many years we have harvested our own fruit, veg, flowers and timber from our kitchen garden and woodland. We use this home-grown produce for catering and workshops.
