# Namaste Barn Yoga and Meditation Studio & Retreat

Namaste Barn is a purpose-built yoga and meditation studio nestled in Devon's rolling hills, conveniently located between Exeter, Newton Abbot, and Totnes. Founded by Jo Hamilton, this retreat centre serves individuals seeking authentic yoga practices and holistic wellness in a carefully designed space.

The studio distinguishes itself through genuine environmental commitment, powered by an air source heat pump, solar panels, and pure UV-filtered borehole water—reflecting its philosophy of respecting planetary resources. Rather than commercialised yoga trends, Namaste Barn offers traditional, holistic practices grounded in authentic yoga philosophy.

The studio serves diverse clientele: those new to yoga, experienced practitioners seeking deeper practice, professionals needing stress relief, and individuals interested in trauma healing and mindfulness. Jo's approach integrates breath work (Pranayama), physical postures (Asana), meditation, and philosophical insight to address modern life's challenges.

What sets them apart is their diverse, specialised offerings beyond standard yoga classes. They uniquely blend traditional yoga with contemporary wellness modalities like TRE (Tension and Trauma Release Exercises) and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique). This integration allows them to serve people struggling with trauma, anxiety, and tension alongside those pursuing spiritual development.

The retreat centre provides residential experiences, allowing deeper immersion into practice. Their workshop and course formats cater to those seeking structured learning. By combining environmental consciousness, authentic teaching, trauma-informed approaches, and retreat facilities, Namaste Barn offers a distinctive wellness destination rather than a typical studio.
