9th May - Finding Balance From Within with Emma Garland & Lucie Platt
Friday 9th May
10am-2pm
Lunch, snacks and unlimited tea and coffee included.
Mindfulness, movement, breath and relaxation.
Life can be a challenge and sometimes unexpectedly so. We often find ourselves balancing many things: work and life, happiness and stress, relationships and time.
Finding that balance is a skill in itself and finding that balance in ourselves is key to health, happiness and longevity.
Senior Yoga Teachers, Lucie and Emma, are bringing you this very special Retreat Day Away at the magical Walled Garden School; giving you the space and time to explore and find your balance from within.
Yoga allows us to gain a greater awareness of our bodies and most importantly our needs. At stressful times we can surrender these needs for the sake of time and others' needs and often push down our bodies' signs and symptoms for our own needs.
In this special Retreat Day, we'll explore various postures to listen to our bodies' needs; gaining a greater awareness of finding that balance between effort and peace.
Yoga is a fantastic tool for helping us understand and listen to what we actually need.

About Emma’s Session
Emma's session will focus on more challenging postures; not necessarily in terms of advanced postures, but key foundational yoga postures and movements that require a little more focus and technique to exert a little more effort and energy. We'll move slowly and mindfully through these flowing postures and explore how our powerful breath can allow us to explore and find balance between effort and peace. This valuable skill can extend into life, providing an opportunity to tune in and listen to our body's needs, through every day life and for all the challenges life throws at us!
About Lucie’s Session
Join Lucie for an extended slow flow and Yin yoga session, designed to cultivate balance within both body and mind. This deeply nourishing practice invites you to move slowly before settling into longer-held postures, allowing the body to soften, release and find stillness. Through gentle stretches and mindful breathing, you'll create space to ground, restore and reconnect with yourself. This session will leave you feeling balanced, calm, nourished, and deeply connected; a perfect pause for reflection and renewal within your day.
Please note:
You do not need to have done any yoga to take part in these sessions, as guidance and modifications will be provided throughout. Bring a yoga mat with you if you have one, but we do have spare mats available. The yoga sessions will take place indoors, in The Conservatory.
