The yoga sessions are suitable for complete beginners as well as those who have practiced before, with accessible movements to suit all levels.
Sign in, meet & greet, grab yourself a herbal tea and get your self settled. Herbal teas will be provided on arrival & through out the day.

Come along and join like minded people for the day to slow down and reconnect with yourself through movement with yoga, a walk into nature and mindful meditation.
Sarah will be leading the hike, and Julie will guide you through the yoga sessions. To learn more about them, head over to Emma & The Team.
Please bring: walking boots or trainers, socks, water, any personal medication, a day rucksack, and comfortable clothing you can move in. You’ll also need a waterproof jacket, hat, gloves (if it’s cold), and extra layers for the walk. Many people also like to bring a blanket to get cosy after yoga — your body cools down quickly this time of year, so it’s lovely to wrap up warm.
Yoga mats will be provided, so no need to bring your own unless you’d prefer to.
We’ll also send you a weather update closer to the time and let you know if any extra kit will be needed.
