WORKSHOPS & EVENTS
New Years Re_Set Re_treat Day
​
St Marys Church Hall, Stoke D'Abernon
11am - 4.30pm
​
With the Christmas tree and baubles packed away for another year and the final few Quality Street consumed, you will be ready for some well-deserved downtime and rest!
​
Join me for the day and enjoy some warming winter dynamic yoga, a nourishing homemade lunch loving made by Kate Ray, mindful mandala making & sound healing gong bath led by Katerina Laife.
We will take time to set intentions for the New Year, reflect on the past months and consider what new seeds of intention we would like to plant for the coming year.

I am really pleased to be collaborating with Katerina Lafite from Love & Sound who will be leading the Gong Bath. Here are a few words from her:
Sound Healing Therapy ✨
The gong is an amazing and powerful instrument for bringing you to a relaxed state. The therapy will take the brain through different brainwave frequencies.
The beautifully played gongs will take you into deep relaxation, enabling you to explore alpha and theta brainwave frequencies, inducing daydream and creativity of the mind as well as dreamlike meditative state of mind, such as those we experience in (Rapid Eye Movement) REM sleep.

RETREATS
Going away on retreat is something special. Time away from the everyday; more space and time to fully immerse yourself in the practise, an opportunity to slow down, be more mindful and do as much or little as you desire.
​
For those of you wishing to plan ahead, in 2024 I will be running two UK Weekend Retreats
Early Summer Escape
Early Summer Escape
​
Friday 17th - Sunday 19th May '24
​
Arnewood Manor, Sway, New Forest
I am excited to be offering a retreat at Arnewood Manor in May 2024, which is set in 11 private acres on the edge of the New Forest, just a short drive from the bustling market town of Lymington and the beaches of Milford on Sea and Mudeford.
This beautiful manor house has been thoughtfully renovated and offers spacious , bright bedrooms, a stunning yoga room and plenty of indoor space to relax and outdoor areas to wander and explore.
During this early summer escape I will be offering a blend of uplifting dynamic seasonal flow yoga, nourishing and relaxing restorative work, interweaved with breath-work practises and meditation. In addition to the yoga you can enjoy walks in the New Forest, trips to the beach, optional treatments, an aromatherapy oil blending workshop or simply choose to rest, relax and recharge.
I will be joined by Yasmin Strutt who will be catering for you over the weekend, creating and cooking an exciting and delicious vegetarian menu. Yasmine trained at Leiths School of Food and Wine and in addition is also a yoga teacher and holistic nutrition consultant. I met Yasmine in Italy early this year and all I can say is that you will be wanting seconds - her food is divine!
​
“As a trained plant based chef from Leiths school of food and wine I put passion into my food, I love proving that taste does not have to be compromised due to food preferences or allergies. I have loved cooking since I can remember and when diagnosed with a gluten allergy was inspired by the challenge of keeping food flavourful and wholesome when presented with limitations. I pride myself on ensuring every dish is made with love and am delighted to be cooking for you”. (YS)
