What to expect on the day:
-
10:30: Introduction To The Day
We'll begin the day by taking this time to arrive and settle into the studio and onto our mats. We'll then have a brief introduction to talk about the day ahead, along with some gentle breathwork and relaxation before we move into our flow. -
10:45am: An Energising Yet Mindful Hatha Yoga Class
Beginning our day with a powerful, yet steady and nourishing hatha flow to help create space, build strength, increase flexibility, improve balance and set a calm yet energised rhythm for the day. This will end in a 10 minute Savasana, with the optional adjustment/massage. -
11:45pm: A Nutritious Homemade Lunch
Enjoy a vibrant, wholesome lunch designed to refuel and nourish. This will vary each month, and all allergies/intolerances and preferences are to be disclosed in the form upon ticket purchase. -
12:30pm: Yoga Philosophy and Yoga Beyond The Mat
After lunch we will use this time to explore some of the deeper side of yoga, and what yoga really is. So if you're looking to deepen your understanding on yoga and its philosophy then this one could be for you! There will be opportunities to reflect, write stuff down in your notepads and share some thoughts together too! -
1:30pm Walk And A Yap
We can use this time to have a small walk around the estate and back again (bring a reusable cup if you like to bring a hot drink with you!) Of course if you'd rather skip this part you're more than welcome to relax at the studio and read if you'd prefer (you can bring a book too!) -
2pm: Gentle Nourishing Yoga Flow
Return to the mat for a deeply soothing and restorative practice. Slow, grounding movements and breath work will help integrate the day’s experiences, finishing with a long, candlelit Savasana — a final moment to rest, soften, and reset your nervous system. Once again this will end in a 10 minute savasana, with the optional adjustment/massage.
3pm: Whole Food Snacks And Closing Connection
We'll close the day by sharing nutritious whole food homemade snacks and herbal teas, creating space to chat, connect and reflect with one another, before heading home feeling refreshed, balanced and just all around amazing!
*All activities here are completely optional*
*Lunch is straight after the first class just to allow our bodies time to digest before our last class*

We will begin our day with a gentle cacao ceremony to arrive together and set an intention for your morning ahead. Giving us all a moment to transition out of our normal lives and into the experience. Learn about cacao, its traditional uses and benefits. -
10:45am - 11:45 am: Embodied Flow: Move, Feel, Flow
We'll begin the day by taking this time to arrive and settle into the studio and onto our mats. Starting with Dirga breathing, we will then find a fluid, playful movement practice, blending yoga, breath and embodied movement. We'll explore moving intuitively, connecting sensation and letting the body guide rather than focusing on getting 'the perfect shape' -
11:45pm -12:45pm Body & Word Workshop with guest practitioner Sarah Huxley
In this session, Sarah invites you to reconnect with your body through movement, words and sounds. She will encourage you to trust your impulses and sensations through a series of word play games and playful prompts. Everything is an invitation and your movements can be small or large, awkward or fluid - you choose. Together we will build trust, welcoming the absurd and seeking authenticity in being and becoming. Asking - what is your playful truth?
Through a series of words/sound games and prompts, together we will ask our hearts, bones, our armpits and our toes two important questions:
What word/sounds do you associate with playfulness?
How can we live, learn, or love more playfully?
By the end, and the beginning we will have created and orchestrated a beautiful troubling found poem. Is it a prayer, a mantra, a song or a manifesto? Let's find out. Suspend your disbelief. This experience will be a moment of collective imagination, movement and contradiction.
