2026 Dates

June 28th - Men’s retreat: Embodying expansion

  • At the height of summer, energy expands. Light lingers. The body longs to move, express and open.

    This half day retreat is designed to harness that vitality, without tipping into overwhelm.

    This immersive morning explores strength, spaciousness and embodied confidence. Through dynamic, breath-led movement, heart-opening sequences and intentional stillness, we cultivate an inner brightness that feels grounded rather than scattered.

    Expect:
    • Fluid, intelligently layered vinyasa to build heat and momentum
    • Strength-based work to support stability and resilience
    • Energising breath practices
    • Integrative rest and guided reflection

    Radiance is not performative.
    It is the steady glow that comes from alignment, from feeling strong, open and fully present in your body.

    You’ll leave energised, uplifted and deeply connected to your own inner light.

    Feedback from last years session; “I had an amazing day. I felt really happy and content which is special and appreciated. Everyone was lovely and welcoming. Deffo coming again”

December 6th - Stillpoint: Returning to centre

  • Stillpoint - A Winter Half Day Retreat

    As the year draws inward and the external world grows quieter, we turn toward stillness.

    Stillpoint is a half day retreat devoted to deep rest, integration and gentle closure.

    In the midst of winter’s darkness there is a centre,  a place of calm beneath movement, a steady point beneath the noise. This is the stillpoint.

    Through slow, grounding movement, extended restorative postures, nervous system-regulating breathwork and immersive rest, we create space to soften fully. Guided reflection will support you in acknowledging the year that has passed and anchoring into what truly matters.

    Expect:
    • Slow, supported movement to release accumulated tension
    • Deep restorative practices
    • Breathwork to settle and soothe the nervous system
    • Spacious integration and reflection

    You’ll leave feeling steady, clear and quietly restored, centred in yourself as you move into the closing weeks of the year.

    A return inward. A return to centre.

    Feedback from last years session; “I had an amazing day. I felt really happy and content which is special and appreciated. Everyone was lovely and welcoming. Deffo coming again”
