🌸Gather🌸
I cannot tell you how much I have enjoyed running these Gather day retreats - one a month since the start of the year - each with its own character, personality… determined by my planning but also by the energy of the time of year and the beautiful people who have gathered.
Thank you to all of you who have attended one or more of these days…there will be more to come from October onwards and you will be the first to hear about them 😘.
The pictures accompanying this post are all from the July Gather.

🌸HELD🌸
Last weekend and myself had the absolute pleasure of running another of our HELD pregnancy retreats.
The whole day was stunning… the venue magic (thank you ), the food delicious, the weather sublime. We were also so lucky to be joined by .family.chiropractic who not only shared their wisdom but also let our pregnant women relax on her belly cushion - it was *very* well received.
Our aim for these retreats is to create a space to hold women as they need to be held and we sincerely hope we succeed - we certainly give it our all.
The next HELD retreat is in October.
DM us or drop a 🌸 below for more details.

HELD – A Pregnancy Day Retreat
Sunday 28th June
10am–5pm
When was the last time you felt truly held?
This is a day for pregnant mothers — whether it’s your first, second, or fifth baby — to pause, to be supported and to reconnect with your inner wisdom.
Co-hosted by Laura Stocks () experienced Doula & Doula trainer and Charlie Anderson Sumner () yoga teacher, yoga teacher trainer and mentor, this day blends Doula wisdom, yoga, breathwork, intention-setting, rest and open-hearted conversation.
✨Special guest talk from .family.chiropractic✨
✨Take home your own custom curated birth goodie pouch - a perfect addition to your hospital bag ✨
Let us hold you, guide you, support you and nourish you through movement, breath, connection, physical techniques for birth/motherhood, snacks and lunch.
You’ll have the chance for an intimate, soulful Q&A with Laura, exploring everything about pregnancy and birth, then sink into restorative yoga and a guided yoga nidra, allowing your body to fully let go.
We invite you to lean in and come and grab this moment for YOU. Come and join us and land in your body - we guarantee you’ll get a little bit of what you need for this pregnancy.
We have supported hundreds of women between us, navigating life, pregnancy, birth, postpartum and the forever changing female body. Let us hold you.
No prior yoga experience is necessary to attend this retreat - all are welcome.
Investment in you - £150pp

Stick me against a wall and I’m ok.
But in the middle of the room 😱… in front of students😱… perish the thought 🤣.
Tell me… which poses fill you with dread or do you find impossible when you have to demo/teach them but are a sweet spot in your own practice?
