A weekend of Yoga & Wellness
15-17 March 2024 – St Katharine’s Parmour
For those considering joining us for one of the four remaining spaces, let me take you on a journey through the weekend, so you can start to experience the magic that is on offer at this wonderful, life affirming weekend…
We arrive to beautiful and historic St Katharine’s, which dates to the Knights Templar. The venue is lovingly tended by its staff, who are also on hand through our weekend.
With ample parking for those who drive and a short taxi journey from either Henley, Marlow or High Wycombe train stations, the venue is accessible and easy to arrive at.
You will be welcomed by me, with a steaming mug of tea & slice of my homemade cake (gluten & dairy free). Once you’ve checked in and relaxed, I’ll show you to your room so you can settle in before we get together for a welcome to the weekend. We will begin with our first Yoga practice, crafted to be gentle, centring & grounding.
All the experiences over the weekend cater for seasoned yogi’s and beginners alike. You’ll start to feel yourself land into your new home for the weekend and start to enjoy focusing on YOU.
​
Yoga mats can be borrowed on request and all props such as blocks, bricks & yoga belts are provided. If you have a yoga bolster, please do bring it along with cosy blanket, warm socks and water bottle.
​
You can do as little or as much as you want of the activities on offer throughout the weekend, there’s plenty of sofa space to curl up with your favourite book & mug of tea or to take some time to journal or just BE. it’s up to YOU.

Dinner awaits us in the ornate dining room, our house cook creates simple vegetarian & vegan dishes using seasonal vegetables from the venue’s own enchanting walled Victorian kitchen gardens, delivering nourishing meals to fuel us through the weekend. There’s always dessert after dinner – save space!
On Friday evening we enjoy an opening ceremony around the altar created by me and our special guest Pnutt, who will deliver a seasonal talk to help us live with natures cycle and the crystals we can work with to enhance the process.
She will also give a special gift we can work with for the weekend and beyond.

Let’s unfurl shake off winter’s heavy coat & welcome Spring nature’s new year - a time to percolate on new beginnings for ourselves and what we want to create for our year ahead. We finish for the evening with a deep guided relaxation in the form of yoga nidra, to sooth your nervous system and promoting a deep and peaceful night’s sleep…en route to our rooms, there’s chance to chat and get to know the like-minded souls around you and enjoy a glass of “Komsecco” a delicious, healthy fizz that cares for our gut - we are alcohol free for the weekend so we are all present, relaxed and focused.
You can start your Saturday by joining us for an early meditation, breathwork & journaling practice. You can also choose to have a guilt free lie in! The main hall where all our practices are held has huge windows looking out onto the grounds where we can see bountiful nature throughout the day.
Breakfast is then available, a nourishing and simple continental style of eggs, fruit, toast, yoghurts & cereals. Teas, coffees and fruit are on hand all day long and all dietary needs can be catered for if shared in advance.
Once your breakfast has settled & digested, ’ll guide you through a season-based practice to reflect what Spring is gifting us, unfurling to reconnect you to your body, shake off winter & literally feel a spring in your step.
​
Lunch beckons then our other special guest will arrive – my partner Steve of The Henley Yoga Studio (with our dogs) to take you on a local guided walk so you can step into nature, see the crocus, daffodils, buds in trees, hear bird song and we can only hope for blue skies and sunshine on our skin!
Once back and rested, Steve will also be guiding you through, a movement meditation of Qi Gong which can be done standing or seated and Yin Yoga, a floor-based practice. Both are wonderfully restorative and reviving.
​
At Dinner time, we can all catch up enjoy a hearty meal together – and dessert! Then we are in for an absolute treat of a sound bath with Gongs & singing bowls delivered by Peace Of Mind Berkshire balm for the soul. Please feel free to get your pj’s on, cosy socks and allow yourself to drift off to the healing vibration of sound. Bliss!
​
Tea and bed then beckons to ready ourselves for our final day together – how did it goes this quickly…..
On Sunday morning, I will guide you as Saturday, with morning meditation, breakfast and nourishing yoga practice which takes us up to our farewell lunch and closing ceremony.
Pnutt will join us once more and together we will close our weekend, sharing any experiences we want (sharing is not compulsory at all so please don’t worry!).
Finally, with a balanced body and full heart, we head back into the world. Relaxed restored and transformed.
