Yoga Studio & Venue Hire - The Perfect Space for Classes, Retreats, Events & Relaxation
Retreat In Nature
Kilnhanger is a nurturing, inspiring and beautiful space to come and connect with yourself and with nature and retreat from the fast-paced world, to relax and restore body, mind and spirit.
At its heart, this is a family home where three generations live together, enjoying the beauty of nature, our home-grown organic produce, and a slower, more wholesome way of life. We love growing our own food, cooking from scratch, and sharing meals with guests in our beautiful kitchen, inspired by Ottolenghi, Skye Gyngell and Sarah Britton.
Situated high up overlooking beautiful views of the Surrey Hills, close to Guildford, Kilnhanger is a place where time slows down and everything about it inspires rest and relaxation, the stillness, the scent of the woods, the way the morning light filters through the trees. It's the kind of place that makes you breathe deeper, sleep better and forget about your inbox.
With the most luxurious and beautiful studio for venue hire, it is an ideal space for retreats, events, yoga classes, therapy groups and workshops, and accommodation, it is the perfect place to come and unwind, reset and be inspired. This is a place to hit pause, unplug and let the surrounding nature work its magic.
We love to share Kilnhanger, and it means so much to us when people enjoy being here as much as we do.

Yoga, for me, has been a journey of coming home to my body, my breath, and a sense of calm amidst life’s chaos.
At Kilnhanger Retreat, our beautiful family home in the Surrey Hills, we’ve created a yoga retreat that feels the same, breathtaking, spacious, and peaceful. It’s a place to pause, reconnect, and find balance.
My own journey through loss and healing led me to yoga in Thailand and Australia, where I discovered a deep sense of peace I now love to share.
Today, as a teacher and mother, I continue to learn that true calm begins within, in stillness, presence, and simply coming home to yourself.
