 Our Ethos 

We believe that healthy minds lead to healthy bodies. Day retreats begins with a strong and energetic practice as we work though vinyasa yoga and pilates, challenging our bodies ability to balance and stabilize. Following this we move into yin yoga and restorative poses, meditation and yoga nidra, leaving you grounded and nourished.

We believe that happiness comes from within, by listening to our bodies and learning to trust our instincts we can feel more connected with ourselves and the world. 

Relax and unwind with us, establishing space and balance in the mind, body and soul.  

We offer tailored made wellness programs that inspire, motivate and empower your team. We provide yoga, pilates and meditation programs that lead to happier, healthier and more productive employees.

WEEKLY WELLNESS PROGRAMS

Choose from yoga, pilates or meditation weekly classes.

Pre work with an early morning class to start the day right, reclaim your lunch break with a mood lifting class or offer a post work class to cleanse and wind down.

 

Pilates

Pilates classes free the body as it realigns you through a blend of strength and flexibility training to help centre and condition your body. Focusing on postural awareness and developing the subtle muscles it can build the much needed core strength to help reduce back pain (often a by product of desk work).

Meditation

Meditation aims to clear the mind, encourage peaceful thoughts and reduce stress, leaving you calm, centred and present.

Working with the breath in a meditative state we are able to connect to ourselves more effectively and focus in on our visions and goals more accurately.

Yoga

Yoga offers a union of both the mind and body by connecting through the breath. Using a series of postures yoga can help to stretch out tired and aching muscles, build gradual strength and induce calm. Day retreats offer a few different types of yoga classes all with a slightly different focus but all leaving you feeling energised and relaxed.

 

Vinyasa flow yoga- Working with more fluid sequencing and a continuous tempo of movement. Vinyasa flow classes create a space for the body to flow whilst working deeply into postures to build strength and create space for flexibility.

Yin or Restorative yoga- A slower paced class where postures are held for a longer amount of time allowing you to drop deeply into the body giving the mind time to slow down. Both restorative and yin yoga will leave you with a deep sense of calm and relaxation.
