17th January - Reset and Rebalance with Emma Garland
Friday 17th January 2025
9:30am-2:00pm
Lunch, snacks and unlimited tea and coffee included.
Start the New Year by reconnecting with your body alongside a true expert at this warm and friendly day for seasoned yogis and beginners completely new to yoga. This is a day of knowledge and learning; a restful, restorative day allowing you to reconnect with yourself and with nature.
As your guide, Emma Garland puts it:
“Our body speaks to us all the time, but with busy lives we don’t always listen. We’re not always in tune or even in sync with our bodies. Stress and worries of the mind show up in the body, too. And certain times of the year don’t always help either.
Whether we hold tension in our muscles, like our back, shoulders and hips; or it shows up in our work or daily tasks with an inability to focus on the task in hand; we need the tools to learn new habits or even unlearn old, bad habits.”
Reset your nervous system to manage stress more effectively:
“We’ll be looking to rest and rebalance our nervous systems, both our parasympathetic nervous system (the chilled one) and the sympathetic nervous system (the action one).
When we can find this balance, we can increase our heart rate variability (HRV) (AKA our heart health) and decrease our resting heart rate (RHR).
Balancing these two will improve your overall health, increase our longevity and result in a balanced, and better, nervous system.”

Timings
9:45am: Meet, greet, walk and breathe through The Walled Garden.
In this restorative day for yourself; and maybe friends or loved ones, we’ll start the day with a hot drink around the fire pit, before heading off for a walk around the beautiful Walled Garden of Hawarden Estate. We’ll take this walk up to the Old Castle, where we’ll enjoy some various breath work techniques, designed to warm us up from the outside in; whilst enjoying the breathtaking rural views from the top of the hill. It’s an opportunity to discuss old habits and perhaps plant seeds for new habits to grow.
11am: Move, breathe and flow.
We’ll head back to roll out our yoga mats (indoors) whilst still feeling connected with the natural world. We’ll enjoy flowing movement to expand our bodies and hearts. When we expand and open our chest, we can fully feel our inner power within. Our posture is greatly improved and we can allow ourselves to feel the finer muscles within our bodies that may need to be awakened.
12:15pm: Relaxation
We’ll cosy up under thick wool blankets and hot water bottles and be guided through a deep relaxation for the ultimate experience in self-care. These are the tools you can use to take with you to create new habits and routines to help you find a more balanced nervous system.
1pm: Refuel
Lunch from the award-winning Hawarden Estate Farm Shop is included. We’ll round up our restorative day with a hearty, warming lunch to fuel our bodies and minds and chat with like-minded new friends.
2pm: Time to say goodbye
All equipment, food and and drink throughout the day is provided.
