1–7 February 2026 | Kilima Gardens, Nanyuki
Every now and then, life brings along people whose presence feels like a breath of fresh air – grounded, kind, and deeply in tune with nature. I first came across Alice through Ananda Hum, my online yoga accessories shop, when she ordered some products. Though we’ve never met in person, our email exchanges left a lasting impression on me. I immediately sensed her calm, thoughtful energy and admired the way she weaves her connection to nature and her healing gifts into her yoga teaching.
It’s such a joy to come across inspiring human beings like Alice – and that’s why I’m delighted to share her beautiful upcoming retreat with you.
If you’re looking for a meaningful way to start the year – a space to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with yourself – Alice’s Reconnect, Rest & Rewild Yoga Retreat in Kenya might be just what your heart needs.
Set in the breathtaking Kilima Gardens in Nanyuki, at the foothills of Mount Kenya, this retreat offers the perfect blend of nature, stillness, and soulful practice. Each day unfolds with morning and evening yoga, meditation, and nourishing plant-based meals, creating a steady, nurturing rhythm to support your body and mind.
The week also includes a series of magical, one-off experiences:
✨ Group Reiki healing to refresh and harmonise your energy
🌕 A full moon ceremony under Kenya’s starlit sky
🔥 A traditional Kenyan BBQ night with live African music
🌿 Cultural excursions, such as visits to Nanyuki town and the historic Mau Mau caves
You can also add optional adventures like a safari at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy or indulge in rejuvenating spa treatments, making this experience entirely your own.
Kilima Gardens itself is a sanctuary – perched on a hill with views across three mountain ranges. The eco-luxury accommodation blends seamlessly with the landscape, celebrating Kenyan craftsmanship and minimalistic beauty. Each room looks out onto the gardens or the majestic Mount Kenya, inviting a sense of profound peace. Guests can also enjoy the infinity pool, wood-fired sauna, and sundowner treehouse, perfect for reflection or quiet conversation as the sun sets over the highlands.
