OCTOBER RETREATS
After a two year break from retreats (due to COVID), we felt so grateful to be able to open the doors and spend two of our weekends this month with amazing groups of guests. Thank you so much to everyone that was involved for making it such a special return. The retreats are hosted in a luxury barn conversion in the Yarmouth area that is designed so that every bed has a view of the ocean. The panoramic view out of the side of the barn is the perfect backdrop to the large studio space where we gather to breathe, flow, and sweat.
Never been to one of our wellbeing retreats?
Each retreat differs slightly to accommodate the guests desires, the weather, and time of year but here are some of the highlights from our most recent retreats:
Yoga
The retreats start with a candlelit yoga practice with our resident teacher, Olivia, to relax and unwind after travel and to place you in the retreat frame of mind. Further yoga classes are included throughout the weekend featuring workshops, closing practice with co-founder Jenny and (weather permitting) a hike up Tennyson Down to flow at the top!
Food
At Balance + Glo we love to showcase just how good plant based food can be. We bring in the best island chefs to cook with fresh, local produce and create some stunning dishes. This year we worked with Fran from The Modern Kitchen Garden who brought us some remarkable dishes all made from her home grown veg.
Fitness
Whether you are completely knew to strength training or you’re a fitness fanatic Evelyn, co-founder and Head of Fitness will have you moving in no time. Her popular slam ball classes have been held on the lawn outside the barn. Other fitness activities include hikes, sea swims, and hybrid “Strengthen + Flo” classes.
Practical Workshops
We love to make sure our guests leave with something that they can take away and implement in their own lifestyle. Each retreat is different but we’ve held journaling workshops with Live Well with Lou, Island foraging with Katie from Island Wild Food and much more.
We currently have one twin room remaining on our November Winter Warmer Retreat on the 26th-29th November. It is £499 per person and the room has its own private bathroom.
Alternatively we have LOTS in the pipeline for 2022 make sure you are signed up to our newsletter to the first to know about retreats (on AND off the Island…) coming next year.
