Saturday 6th December
Return to Stillness
Join Kay & Jules at the beautiful space that is the Acorn Wellness Retreat for a day of relaxation, restoration, qigong and the opportunity to relax with a gentle flow. As winter wraps the world in stillness and the days grow shorter, take time to pause, breathe and return to the light within.
There will be a mix of practices including breath work too, Yoga Nidra, a gong bath by the amazing Jules Cooper. Nourishing plant based lunch, use of the sauna, or you can walk in the glorious countryside, read, relax or just be.
Day begins at 09.00 and will finish by 4pm. Time for you to cultivate your inner garden and tend it lovingly. Cost is £135 for the day. Therapies are a separate cost when available.

Focusing on You
A WARM WELCOME
Having trained with some of the most amazing instructors in the world,
yoga and qigong have provided me with a toolkit that I love to share.
Full of heart
We live in a fast paced and stressful world but it can be met with grace, when we learn the tools of yoga, we learn to embrace life to the full. I’d love to invite you to one of my classes. I hope to bring you to a place of inner peace and comfort, focusing on how you feel, not the shapes you make, bringing you home to you. My classes range from gentle and restorative to dynamic and active.

Kind Words
“I so look forward to the class on a Friday and I know that I will really sleep well that night too! ”
“Kay’s kind, calming voice, gentle movements to music are absolutely perfect for me and my body!
”
“I find all your classes really uplifting. You always greet people with such warmth and genuine love – and the rest of the yoga unfolds from there. ”
“I always feel better afterwards. Every class provides a still centre in a rather rough world.”
We are all students
I have worked with some incredible teachers & mentors along the way. I’d love to share with you the knowledge I have gained from their teaching as well as books that I recommend.

This extraordinary woman and teacher is Mimi Kuo Deemer, she trained me to weave Qigong practices into my yoga flows. I have grown to love the ancient practice of Qigong and the way it connects and heals. We all inspire, influence and teach each other as we go through life and pass on wisdom along the way.
