14th March - Nurture in Nature: Finding Your Inner Strength with Emma Garland
Friday 14th March 2025
9:30am-2:00pm
Lunch, snacks and unlimited tea and coffee included.
This wellbeing yoga day is focused on tuning into our inner strength; inner strength within our body.
We’ll try to access some of those more underused muscles in the body to help you feel stronger, taller and more confident in your body and posture. You’ll finish the session feeling refreshed, rejuvenated and, most importantly, deeply relaxed.
You’ll gain knowledge and discover tools that actually work for you in terms of finding your inner strength. .
The day will work towards finding a deep relaxation within our bodies, allowing us to check out of our minds.
Gaining greater awareness of our bodies to find inner strength.
As we age, aches and pains can start to creep up on us. Often we’ll put it down to old age and carry on! But most aches and tightness/tension within the body is muscular which means you can do something about it.
This session is suitable for everyone, including beginners; with guided instructions and techniques to help you switch on some of those smaller, underused muscles within the body and start to ease some of the muscular pain you may experience.
We work with the breath and provide a deeper feeling of engagement and resistance within your body to build heat and strength in the body without necessarily moving fast.
In colder months, we can typically retreat indoors. However, time spent outdoors in nature can be a great way to boost the mind and body, as well as the nervous and immune system.
Experiencing natural sunlight can boost your mood and productivity.
Join us for a day away in the magical space that is The Walled Garden School. Surrounded by nature in ancient woodland, this space will take you a world away from it all.
We’ll finish the day seated at a big table within the Walled Garden, with a hearty, warming, delicious vegetarian lunch provided by the award-winning Hawarden Farm Shop.
Suitability and availability
Suitable for all - seasoned yogis and also beginners completely new to yoga.
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, before heading off for a walk around the beautiful Walled Garden. We’ll take a 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 of 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, in the new Conservatory space at The Walled Garden School, 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.
12:30pm: 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.
