Uganda Wild Luxury Yoga Retreat March 2027

Anyadwe House on the Nile, Murchison Falls National Park

Anyadwe House · Murchison Falls National Park

17th – 21st March 2027 – Uganda

WILD LUXURY, YOGA, WELLNESS, RIVER NILE

Embrace stillness in the pearl of Africa and reconnect with yourself through movement, nature and awareness at Anyadwe House — an exclusive guest villa on the south bank of the mighty River Nile, bordering Murchison Falls National Park.

The name comes from the local Acholi language, meaning “daughter of the moon”, given by local tribes to Florence Baker, wife of explorer Samuel Baker, who spent many months exploring this stretch of the Nile in the 1880s in what is today Murchison Falls National Park.

This intimate, eco-friendly, safari-styled house sits within a natural expanse of private grassland sweeping down to the Nile, with magnificent views both up and downstream. It offers four luxurious en-suite double or twin bedrooms with individual balconies, plus two well-furnished safari tents; a spacious ground-floor lounge; indoor and outdoor dining; a bar; and an upper-level yoga shala with terrace opening onto a large patio and wide vistas.

There is space to stroll among the trees, daydream, snooze in a quiet nook, and cool off in the pool. The gardens look out over the Nile and are often visited by local wildlife — hippo, African jacana, herons and kingfishers.

From Tuesday 17th – Saturday 21st March 2027, join Leyla Meredith for a four-night yoga and wellness retreat designed as a sacred return — to your body, your rhythm, and your joy.

Held in one of Uganda’s most extraordinary landscapes, this intimate gathering blends nourishing yoga, meditation and nervous-system care with the living magic of the bush and the Nile.

Expect expansive morning practices suitable for everyone, breathwork to relax, ground or elevate, guided meditation, journaling, and embodied ritual — woven together with spaciousness to rest, explore, or simply be. Gentle evening practices help you soften and become one with the world around you.

Combined with animal encounters that make you smile, big skies that take your breath away, and evenings wrapped in warmth, connection and meaningful conversation.

This is more than a yoga retreat — it’s an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and realign with the rhythms of the natural world.

Benny started out practicing Hatha and Iyengar yoga from the age of 15, but only discovered Yin Yoga in 2015, finally becoming a teacher in 2017. Since then she has never looked back and continues training in and teaching this wonderful practice wherever and whenever she can. Based in Kenya, she teaches studio classes in Nairobi.

Despite her strong alignment background her classes and trainings take on a very functional approach allowing the variations is our body the freedom to move at their own pace. She believes that it is important to cultivate a sense of self-awareness with regards to our body and mind so that we may be truly in harmony with ourselves and our environment. One of her primary disciplines is the study of human anatomy as she sees it as a fundamental part of any yoga training.

As a certified yin yoga teacher, Benny’s Yin Yoga background is extensive, having trained with some of the Yin heavyweights like Paul and Suzee Grilley, Sarah Powers as well as Jo Phee and Joe Barnett which she also assists around the globe.

Jordan has been practicing yoga for over 10 years in the US, Europe and Kenya. She received certification in Baptiste Power Yoga with the Africa Yoga Project in Kenya, completed the Karuna YTT in 2018 and recently completed a course in yoga for 12-step recovery.

She teaches a range of classes in Nairobi including classes at wellness centers, classes accompanied by live musicians, private classes, charitable classes at a school for street kids and charitable trauma-informed classes at a girls’ school in the slum Kibera.

Jordan is an active volunteer in a number of yoga-based initiatives including the Africa Yoga Project, Mental 360 (NGO creating awareness of mental health issues offering counselling and yoga) and New Leaf Rehabilitation Center in Lamu (development of a yoga program for recovering addicts). She is also certified in Reiki Level I and is a beginner student of Qigong.



Since 2001, Sophie has been evolving her spiritual, emotional and physical relationship with yoga — a practice which has emerged as her primary source of grounding, connection and healing. Her training includes a 200 hour YTT in Costa Rica with Sonic Yoga (2014), a 200 hour YTT in France with Liquid Flow Yoga (2017), and trauma-sensitive yoga trainings with The Minded Institute, Off the Mat (Hala Kouri) and OMPowerment. In 2016, Sophie developed Healing and Resilience Through Yoga (Hart Yoga), a yoga-based psycho-social treatment approach currently being implemented with survivors of human trafficking across Africa and USA. https://movewithhart.org/

Sophie is grateful to the core teachers who shaped the contours of her practice and, most importantly, showed her the boundless generosity of spirit, especially Dana Flynn (her first teacher – what a gift), Simon Park, Gopi Kinnicutt, Jodi Boone and Barbara Verrochi. For inspiration, acceptance and support she is forever indebted to her sister-teachers in Uganda: Leyla Ahmet Meredith, Payal Gori, and Angela Inglish-Gill. Sophie’s teaching style uses fluid movement, consistent breath, and creative sequencing to gently challenge practitioners of all levels
