The Resilience Retreat 15th – 17th May 2026

Join us for a weekend of regeneration, with time in nature and trauma-informed yoga. Experience the benefits of a simple, gentle yoga practice on body, breath and mind.

Asana (postures), pranayama (breathing practices) and yoga nidra (deep relaxation) will be combined with an understanding of nervous system regulation.
