What To Expect

  • Treat Your Feet

    Begin the day by giving your feet the attention they deserve. Keri will guide you through Treat Your Feet, a mindful session designed to awaken sensation, improve mobility and reconnect you with the ground beneath you. A gentle way to bring awareness into the body and prepare for the day ahead.

  • Guided Winter Trail Walk

    Then step outside and reconnect with nature on a guided winter trail walk through the majestic forests and alongside the River Avonmore. Take in the beauty of the winter landscape, breathe in the fresh air and allow your body to naturally warm, move and awaken as you walk.

  • Yoga • Hips • Balance

    A mindful movement practice exploring the beautiful balance between gentle and strong. Through a blend of flowing movement, breath and mindful awareness, we’ll explore hip mobility, balance and the interconnected relationship between the feet, pelvis and whole body. Moving between softness and strength, we’ll discover how these qualities can complement one another — creating stability without tension, mobility without force, and a greater sense of ease within the body.A nourishing practice designed to leave you feeling grounded, balanced and reconnected.

  • Seasonal Nourishing Lunch

    Take time to pause and enjoy a delicious, nourishing lunch created with the flavours and abundance of the season. Inspired by fresh, locally sourced produce, this is a chance to slow down, connect and enjoy good food in beautiful surroundings. A wholesome and satisfying meal designed to nourish the body, restore energy and give you time to relax and enjoy the company around you.

  • Breathwork & Self-Massage

    Slow things down with a calming combination of guided breathwork and gentle self-massage. Explore simple techniques to soften tension, encourage relaxation and bring greater awareness to how your body is feeling. A quiet opportunity to turn your attention inward, release the stresses of the day and reconnect with your breath and body — leaving you feeling calmer, lighter and more grounded.
