“It is nice finding a place where you can just go and relax”

wellness retreats & Workshops.

This is an afternoon of pure relaxation and bliss that is suitable for EVERYONE, no experience in yoga is needed. All props are provided including mats, bolsters and blankets, however you are more than welcome to bring your own.

The day begins with a welcome chat followed by a beautiful grounding meditation, a gentle yoga flow, followed by the most nourishing and relaxing restorative and Yin yoga. We will then finish with a very long yoga Nidra (sleep yoga).

During the afternoon you will completely relax, feel so at ease within yourself, soaking up this time especially for you, to focus on just you! You will leave feeling re-energised, restored and relaxed.

We will then finish day with lovely chats with like minded people and enjoy lovely teas and treats.

The retreat starts promptly at 2pm with a short 10 min break and then finish at 5pm.

Sunday Sanctuary

Our very popular Sunday Sanctuaries are returning Yipee!! I cannot wait, its been wayyy to long! This is an afternoon of pure bliss suitable for everyone. Meditation, gentle flow yoga and wonderful restorative and Yin yoga.

This month our focus will be the liver/gallbladder meridians letting go of anger and showing more compassion to ourselves, bringing more harmony to whole selves. We will also focus on the Manipuri chakra, the solar plexus which is just above our bellybutton. This is where we find that fire in our belly, our passion, will power and vitality.

You will leave feeling re-energised, restored and relaxed. As usual we will finish with lovely chats along with teas and treats.
