December is the busiest stretch of the year for most people. Work needs to be wrapped up, the calendar fills with dinners and obligations, and somewhere in between a proper Christmas still needs to be organised.

Those who prefer to stay closer to home can opt for a short stay of a few nights with a full programme of yoga, meditation and silence.
