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.

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!

Had a fabulous day at Hill Farm. Felt relaxed and restored spending time forest bathing, reflecting and connecting. Beautiful surroundings and scrumptious food. Thank you Hayley and Tom for looking after us and giving us a day to remember. A wonderful experience that I would highly recommend.

Testimonial by Georgina

Peaceful retreat. We took a Shinrin Yoku experience. Driving up through the countryside was a treat in itself, upon arriving we were met by Tom who was immediately friendly and relaxed. Our party was just the two of us and our old dog, we spent hours immersed in the forest enjoying our surroundings led by Tom to quietly connect with nature, our day was dry and sunny but would have been equally as enjoyable in the rain. We came away thoroughly relaxed. Friends asked us why were we paying for a walk in the woods when this can be done for free, to them I say you can walk for free, but this wasn't a walk in the woods it was a Shinrin Yoku experience with a guide knowledgeable and insightful, worth every penny.
