To retreat can be one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself.

Find Freedom Yoga retreats and wellness days focus on the original purpose of a retreat; the practice offered by a senior teacher and creating a space to step away from the daily lives we lead so there is space and time for reflection.

Yoga and Wellness
Day

8th september 2023

Ellenborough Park Hotel
cheltenham
GL52 3nj

 

Join us to celebrate our health and wellbeing with a much deserved day of rejuvenation , relaxation and a little indulgence surrounded by the beauty of the Cotswold countryside at the majestic Ellenborough Park Hotel in Southam, Cheltenham.

Immerse yourself in yoga , qigong and a therapeutic sound bath. Meet new people, eat great food and leave with a renewed sense of well being.

 

Chloe Ashton, our senior yoga teacher and founder of Wild Woman Yoga, will be hosting the event as well as guiding you through the different yoga classes offered on the day.

She will be joined by Karen Soo one of Cheltenham's most experienced qigong teachers. Karen will start the day with an hour of qigong. An exquisitely relaxing, energising, strengthening and meditative practice. The perfect way to arrive and get our bodies warmed and our energy flowing. 

 

A Vinyasa Flow yoga class will follow with Chloe . You will be led through movements with the breath to take you deeper inside your body .This will be an energising practice that will awaken your mind and body.

 

After a healthy and nutritious buffet lunch prepared by the chefs at Ellenborough Park Hotel , and an hour or so to enjoy the grounds and nature, Chloe will then lead you deeper inside your body with Yin Yoga . A deeply reflective practice, focusing on sensation, breath and spaciousness in the body and mind, with extended holds in postures and plenty of time to begin to notice the subtle shifts in both energy and physicality.

The Yin Yoga session will be followed by a gong bath, an immersion in sacred sound that can transport you to a deeply meditative state.

 

Rodger Cuddington of Sacred Gongs will soothe your senses with his sound vibrations. Gongs promote a deep sense of well being and inner peace, with participants bathed in the sounds of the gongs often experiencing feelings of timelessness, visions or colours. The deep resonance of the gongs affects the body on a cellular level, releasing tension and stress by sonic massage.

 

To conclude the day Chloe will guide you through Yoga Nidra or 'yogic sleep'. Yoga Nidra is a deep relaxation practice that induces a state of consciousness between waking and sleeping. Deep rest and healing can take place in this state, making it beneficial for a wide array of physical, mental and emotional ailments.

​

We will then have a short reflective period before we leave with a renewed sense of wellbeing and state of mind.
