Our time will be spent sharing practice, meditation, pranayama and yoga Nidra as well as a session on manifestation led by one of our partner specialists Vanessa Winstanley
This time we don’t need to travel far as our retreat location is situated close to Cheltenham and on the doorstep of the famous Cotswold way.
The theme for this retreat is manifest and intention. Our time will be spent sharing practice, meditation, pranayama and yoga Nidra as well as a session on manifestation led by one of our partner specialists Vanessa Winstanley who will lead us through a framework on intention setting & manifesting the life you want.
Later in the day we have a beautiful sound bath followed by a yoga nidra end our day with a much needed sigh!
Your hump day Wednesday will never be the same … this Wednesday you will be surrounded by the wonderful Cotswold countryside affording calming seasonal colourful views, practicing in a light and airy yoga space… with access to quiet spaces (inside and outside) to take your time to reflect and rest.
The Barns have been created from the original dairy buildings belonging to Cotswold Park House that is lived in by the owners of the estate. A short walk through the private retreat grounds will connect you to the Cotswold countryside an area of natural outstanding beauty, and if you’re into nature then know that it’s not unusual for wildlife and birds to be easily spotted as you take in the views.
This retreat space is part of a private home and will be our location for two other day retreats in 2025 as well as a residential retreat in 2026. We may be a short drive from the heart of Cheltenham but it is definitely a place to retreat from the world enjoy views, space, and beautiful walks on your doorstep in your free time.
Start your new year right… join us for a beautiful Day Retreat - on Wednesday 26/3/2025.

Instructors for the event
RYT 500 / MHFA Registered Trainer / Yoga Therapist ( in training) / Mind Body Focus Partner / Breath- work / Wellness Advocate / Proud Mum.
I believe that yoga isn’t just about the postures but about our mental wellbeing and overall health. Yoga is an amazing tool which continues to enrich my experience in teaching across all levels and learning styles.
I am a qualified SEN teacher and also deliver Mental Health First Aid in a range of corporate and service industry settings. 500hr Yoga Alliance Certified teacher and Yoga Therapist in training.
Living in Cheltenham, loving Mum, dog walker and nature seeker, a definite people person.
I began my yoga journey in my late twenties but became more serious about it as a working parent, when I realised the benefits for me physically and mentally.
My approach is honest, bold and fun. I am adaptable, insightful and offer options to suit all abilities, energy levels and with the focus on bringing attention to mind, body and breath.
I always aim to create a safe, inclusive and non-judgmental space for people to experience Yoga and discover a deeper understanding of who they are.

Border Terrier Lover, Traveller, Constant Student - (Yoga Therapist in Training) - moving through life with a waggy tail and a broad smile!
Passionate about sustainable wellness, and finding out what works for you and your lifestyle. Yoga, Pranayama, Meditation are key foundations for my personal wellness, as is getting out in nature, live music, salsa dancing, dog walks, and time with friends and family. Our lives and our needs are evolving continuously, therefore it makes sense to me that our wellness approach needs to be adaptable; sustainable; and appropriate to the person we are today…
My yoga journey started many moons ago and has helped me navigate the ups and downs life throws at you. I graduated Teacher training in 2016 and over the last 8 years I’ve been lucky to partner with wonderful local yoga studios, sharing practice with all levels of students.
I have also developed & delivered successful workshops, wellness events and European retreats.
My classes are about building a mindful; sustainable and enjoyable practice, working with yogi’s at ALL levels helping them to connect, grow, and learn to LOVE their yoga practice. My teaching is influenced by my historical love of Iyengar and Dynamic Vinyasa, and more recently Yin, Gentle and Restorative Yoga.
