Relax & replenish body & mind

Our Chakra Wellness Self-Care Day promises to be a nourishing, inspiring experience, designed to bring care and attention to your mind-body wellness through mindful Yoga and gentle guidance on eating for wellbeing.

This day will focus on rebalancing and replenishing your Heart chakra - of the seven natural energy centres, this is often the most out of balance for women.

Spend a day with us to:

• Discover how the chakras relate to your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness; the life significance they hold; and how they can be used as an intuitive self-care framework to help build a simpler and healthier life from the inside out.

• Rebalance your Heart chakra through a restorative day of mindful Hatha Yoga, heart-based energy work, delicious plant-powered food and pure relaxation, all set within a unique eco-retreat setting.

• Empower yourself with science-based nutritional know-how, and absorb practical guidance around forming intuitive eating habits, and incorporating foods that nourish the Heart chakra.

• Learn to better recognise the initial signs that your body and mind need your care, and leave with your own self-care action plan so you can incorporate the practices and techniques you learn to bring more balance to your daily life.

Even if you have little or no prior Yoga experience, or don’t consider yourself nutritionally savvy, you will find this experience a beautiful introduction.

“An absolutely wonderful experience with beautiful, kind-hearted people and a wealth of knowledge.”

— Mindy, 2019 retreat guest

Why the heart chakra?

There is increasing recognition of the timeless wisdom of the chakras and how they can be used to provide a roadmap to personal wellbeing.

It’s the Heart chakra that helps us to see the world as a warm and friendly place. It helps us to reach out and connect with others in friendship, compassion, and altruistic love. 

If you are overactive in your Heart chakra, then you may be directing too much of your love bucket to others to the extent of neglecting your own needs and self-care. If you are under-active, let's focus in drawing more love and positivity towards you. If you're balanced, then taking the time for yourself will help you optimise and maintain your wellbeing.

What better time than February to prioritise your self-care and give yourself the self-love you deserve?

About your hosts and venue

Your hosts and inspiration for the day are Sarah Grant, nutritional therapist and wellbeing coach from Gut Reaction, and Em Perrier of Prittie Yoga.

Sarah and Em collaborate to deliver Chakra Wellness Retreats abroad and have designed this restorative Self-Care Day in the UK as they believe Yoga and food are two of the most powerful means we have at our fingertips to provide nourishment and love to our bodies and minds. They have both been drawn to the chakras for personal healing and as a channel to support other women on their life path.

It is to be held at Woodhaven, a unique boutique venue with top green credentials, calming relaxation spaces, a chlorine-free pool and a relaxing spa open to all our guests on the day. 

A luxurious Eco-Smart gem, Woodhaven was designed lovingly by its owner and contains British and European made building materials and furnishings, constructed to suit allergy sufferers, complete with a heat recovery and ventilation system for your comfort.
