It's time to rid the damp contractions of winter with the liver to spring-clean your beautiful body, the temple that houses your soul and inspires your spirit.
When we come together as the elements we feel a deep sense connection and become inspired to create a life of expansion, intention and lightness.

About Natalie Almond - Well Being Facilitator
I have been running yoga and wellness retreats for 28 years and have experience in many modalities of healing and wellness. I bring this to you as a special gift of my 32 years of practice and learning.
I am trained in Hatha Yoga and Alchemical Yoga from the ancient tantric traditions and other transformative and healing modalities.
My love is to feel energy, flow with it and weave it throughout the retreats, giving everyone a little of what they need, creating a warm and balanced flow.
Your retreats are designed to be deeply intense and at the same time help you to break out and have fun.
Yoga sessions are fluidly strong (not a crazy workout), guided meditations take you on a transformative journey and magical circles to encapsulate the experience. We also enjoy sessions of light hearted fun such as Sound and movement, body percussion, emotional techniques and much more.
"If you decide to come alone you will not feel alone, you are more than likely to leave the retreat with lasting friendships".
