THE VENUE:

Florence House sits at the top of Seaford head on the edge of the South Downs. A true haven.

The house is surrounded by lush landscapes and sea breezes. A much loved venue, with a feeling of ‘home’ - a place of inspiration, a calm oasis imbued with magical healing energy. There are dedicated spaces for solitude and chats so you can feel totally at ease in choosing exactly what you need. Accessible by public transport. Nearest train station is Seaford then a short taxi ride.

TEACHERS:

Clair Edwards brings a beautiful calm energy after working with women and babies for 10 years and holding popular monthly restorative workshops for all.

Donna Raftery shares her love of wisdom and holistic well being with Vajrasati yoga and Reiki Healing. 

Together they share a love and respect for the necessity of rest ( and slowing down) no matter what age or life circumstances - ill health, full health, recovery or growing pains! They share a belief that the importance of rest is fundamental to good health and overall well being. A holistic approach rooted in ancient wisdom, perfect antidote for modern life.

Combining decades of personal experience and deep love of sharing yoga as a lifestyle choice and practice, they look forward to welcoming you.
