Hatha Yoga with Raj Nijjar Champney Spa, Henlow Grange
Henlow Grange has a 50 year history as a health farm. Just an hour from London and nestled in 150 acres of parkland Henlow is an ideal country escape, and a perfect pampering retreat.
You can relax in the steam room and Jacuzzi, take a dip in the huge swimming pool, visit the fully equipped gym or participate in some of the many classes that take place each day. Classes range through hula hooping, spinning, aqua classes and Pilates.
To make the most of the breathtaking grounds you can enjoy a bike ride, guided ramble or power walk, a game of tennis, or go jogging. Book bikes and tennis courts with reception.
The food is plentiful and delicious. You may have breakfast and lunch in your robe, please wear regular/more formal clothes for dinner (i.e. not your robe or yoga clothes). Should you feel ‘peckish’ outside of mealtimes there is a small coffee/tea lounge in the conservatory overlooking the pool close to the restaurant.
This weekend begins at 3 pm on Friday and completes at 4 pm on Sunday, everybody is given a single room unless they request otherwise. Henlow has a 50 year history as a health farm and has been a centre of peace for centuries. Cistercian Monks once occupied The Grange, building the spectacular weir on the River Hiz that flows close to the house today. Over eighty indulgent spa therapies are available.
