retreat, with me
Newark on Trent
16.09.22 - 18.09.22
Imagine a weekend, that belongs to only you? How would it feel, to fully immerse yourself in you and your body?
Brave Space Yoga is inviting you to, explore your well-being at a deeper level.
​
For years I have been dreaming of the right venue and the right time to host my very first retreat and this is now.
I am interested in the transitional spaces, a space and a place where we can be lost, and indeed, be found. A place where we can sit with the in-between, a place of contrast, a place of difference, a place of courage and hope.
​
Drawn to ‘hold space’ on a deeper level, somewhere that feels incredibly safe, somewhere that feels like home. Our small collective of six will be formed in the historic cobbled market town of Newark on Trent. Join me at the beautiful wellness hub Tree, where wellbeing is its very heart beat. Retreat in 5 star Georgian luxury overlooking the 12th century castle monument, alongside green flag gardens and the River Trent. This is a long weekend intended to nourish, support, exploring your well being at a deeper level.

the yoga
My style of practice is Dynamic, 'Forrest Inspired' this style cuts a little deeper than a physical routine. We will embark on a journey that touches the energetic and emotional spaces; because yoga isn't just about what happens in the physical, what is touched on the inside is acknowledged here.
Longer practices really support with this exploration, trust me, 3 hours will fly and expect a long, yummy relaxation to close.
Incorporating all the elements of a strong, grounded and balanced sequence. This is ideal for anyone looking to explore their practice in an intimate, supportive environment. Our collective is limited to 6 ensuring you benefit from a deeper focus, seen and held. Hands on assists will be offered throughout (optional).
Directionally expect a focus on poses, exploring
alignment and what meets you in your body. A strong
emphasis on abdominal exercises, breathing and the
relaxation of the neck, to help strengthen and recover
the areas most vulnerable to our everyday
circumstance, such as the low back and neck.
Please note, the practice does not require strength or flexibility, but an open mind is essential! This is not ideal for complete beginners to yoga, if you are unsure please do get in touch.
