Emma says 

" I absolutely love running day retreats and yoga weekends with my wonderful yoga teacher friend Claire Dunn, in a partnership we call Forest Wellbeing. "

​

The idea for these days was to share our combined love for yoga, walking and being outdoors amongst big trees with as many people as we can.

We aim to ensure these days are an affordable, do-able little break from normal life, to remind us just how relaxing, refreshing & rewarding being outside can be, Just being outside in nature makes us feel lighter, happier, stronger & calmer, add to that some yoga, meditation and walking and it becomes all the more transformative. These days allow you the space and time to suspend your thinking, with all of it's roles, responsibilities & worries, and slowly unravel tension & tightness until you feel restored somehow back to yourself. People often comment how these days seem to feel much longer than they are. 

 

We've experimented with a few venues but Slitting Mill Village Hall provides everything we need at a price that means we can keep these days affordable, a comfy base for tea and biscuits, a private outdoor lawn overlooking a calm fishing pool and a warm, cosy hall to do our thing if we need it. In just a few minutes we can walk to a stream or to the forests of Cannock Chase. We spend as much time as we can outside: in summer, we yoga barefoot on the grass; in winter we walk briskly, practising warming yoga and a drink chai around cosy fires. 

 

The cost of these days is just £45, which includes a vegetarian lunch, some cake and unlimited hot drinks.
