As the season begins to shift and spring slowly emerges, take time to step away from the busyness of life and reconnect with yourself. This 4-hour retreat, designed for beginners and intermediates alike, offers a gentle yet empowering experience to help you embrace the fresh energy of the season.

You’ll begin with an uplifting Hatha yoga flow to awaken your body, followed by calming breathwork and guided meditation to bring clarity and focus. A face yoga session will leave you feeling refreshed and revitalised, and a closing restorative yoga practice will encourage deep relaxation.

Throughout the retreat, we’ll also explore themes of empowerment and mindfulness, drawing inspiration from a variety of books on manifesting, resilience, breathing techniques, and personal growth.

Whether you’re new to yoga or looking to deepen your practice, this retreat is the perfect opportunity to step into the new season feeling balanced, inspired, and renewed.

Join us on the 2nd March 2025 at 10am-2pm to welcome the energy of spring with intention and self-care. Let’s rise, shine, and move forward with purpose!

What to Expect

You can arrive any time from 9.45am to get yourself ready, have a cup of tea and walk around our lovely forest or field before we sit down on our mats in the studio at 10am. Places are limited so we’ll have plenty of space. Mats and props are provided.

We’ll start the morning with a check-in and bodyscan before doing a 60min Hatha Strength & Flow sequence, focussing on empowering poses and poses that strengthens our body and mind.

We will then do some cleansing Face Yoga before taking a break for lunch.

During the break, healthy juices and herbal teas, fresh fruit and a lovely lunch will be served. We will be using this time to discuss ways of making ourselves feel empowered and strong, some recommended books, poses and other activities that will help us feeling strong and empowered in daily life.

We will then come back for a breathwork exercise. How we breathe is vital to our well-being and some of the breathing techniques we will be doing are known to lower our heart rate, improve our heart health, increase mental clarity and decrease anxiety and stress.

We will then do a 1-hour Yin Yoga sequence to further help calm and balance the mind and body, release fascia and increase our circulation, flexibility and joint mobility.

We will then finish with a 15-minute guided meditation for the ultimate relaxation and self-care.
