Together we will discuss safety strategies, which have been specifically developed for women, addressing our physical, mental and emotional needs.

During the session we will co-create a warm, friendly, supportive environment.

The session will be fun and informative this will help to build confidence and stronger relationships. The session will be divided into practical physical techniques, where we will get to know each other by playing ice breaker games and by practicing various techniques which have been designed specifically for women.

The other part of the session is discussion based, here we will explore ideas about safety and learn about the body’s reactions and what we can do in various situations.

Please wear trainers and comfortable clothes for this workshop. 

The workshop is for all women and girls over the age of 8.

Testimonial by Geoff

I have just come back from a yoga and well-being retreat and it was fantastic. The farm is idyllic, and only about 45 minutes from Bristol on a good run. Hayley is a wonderful yoga teacher, technically skilled but very kind and helpful, while Tom's Forest Bathing sessions are a really enlightening experience. The food is fantastic too, and they are the perfect hosts. The only bad thing about the retreat was having to leave on the Sunday!

Testimonial by Aaron

If you’ve ever fancied trying yoga I’d strongly recommend training with Hayley. Her enthusiasm for yoga makes the sessions really good fun. She mixes traditional techniques and forms with thought provoking themes each week, which add variety to the practice. All levels of ability are made to feel welcome, give it a try and you will not be disappointed.

Wonderful experience’s at both the farm and abroad on Hayley’s and Toms Retreats. Their attention to detail and much needed rest bite from the outside world is amazing. Can’t recommend enough to treat yourself. Thank you both for all your hard work creating a safe haven for everyone to enjoy.
