Julie is a yoga, meditation teacher and biodynamic cranio sacral practitioner, with over 12 years of experience teaching one to one, small groups and retreats in UK, Spain and Europe. She invites you to a weekend of yoga, breath, meditation and deep relaxation practices to reconnect you to a natural, simple and nourishing way of being in the body.

​

Julie offers a yoga practice for all bodies inspired by Vanda Scaravelli.

Emma is an accredited Mindfulness teacher (MBSR- Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction). She has worked with hundreds of people teaching practical tools that promote calm and perspective. During the retreat we will practice a variety of meditations as well as looking at how mindfulness can help us in our daily lives. We’ll look at what stress is and how it affects us- and what we can do to help ourselves.

 

From dealing with the anxious and over thinking mind to insomnia, body tension and feelings of fear for the future. The mindfulness sessions offer practical tools for real change. No previous experience of meditation necessary.
