With Payal Shah

This retreat is a sacred opportunity for you to let go, relax, and reconnect with yourself.

Join Payal for a rejuvenating & soulful day filled with Empowering Yoga, journaling, Mantra singing, and Yin Yoga. There’ll also be a beautiful mini tea ceremony and some nourishing snacks to enjoy, too.

You'll leave feeling lighter in your body, clearer in your mind, and deeply grounded in yourself.

What to expect:

Intention setting and journaling - when you arrive, you’ll step into a warm, welcoming space & leave the outside world at the door. You’ll ease into the day with calming breathwork, an intention-setting practice (Sankalpa), and a short guided meditation to help you truly land in your body, followed by Journaling for Release - This will be a moment of quiet reflection, a chance to connect inward and begin softening into what you may be ready to let go of. You’ll write, feel, and bring awareness to what’s been weighing you down.

Yoga Flow - Then, you’ll step onto the mat for an empowering Yoga Archery flow. A symbolic practice of release and direction. You’ll draw back what no longer serves and release it with clarity and purpose. A powerful reminder that letting go is not giving up, it’s choosing again, with intention.

Sound and Mantra - Then through sound, you’ll activate the throat chakra — releasing what’s been held in and expressing what’s true. Your voice is a powerful tool for healing and this is your moment to use it. You don’t need to know how to sing just breathe, feel, and allow your voice to rise from within.

Nourishing break for refreshments, followed with a Yin Yoga practice - Once you're ready, we’ll return to the mat for a deeply restorative Yin yoga practice, inspired by the Metal Element — the element of release and clarity. You’ll soften into long-held postures that open the lungs and large intestine meridians, energetic centres of breath, grief, and transformation. This is where we allow the wisdom of the body to speak, to let go gently, fully, and with grace.

Closing circle and tea ceremony - You’ll end together in circle for a mini tea ceremony, reflecting, sharing, and honouring the shifts you’ve made. This final moment is a celebration of your courage to let go and come home to yourself.

With Anna Taylor

While the festive season can bring with it many joys, there can often feel much to do, at a time of year when we are low on resources. We might crave time and space to soften, to slow and still, yet struggle to carve this out for ourselves. 

This day retreat will offer you the time and space to drop into the rhythm of winter – a time of year where nature is reminding us to turn inwards, reduce output, rest and restore.

My intention is that our time together will feel like a warm, winter balm allowing you to gently unwind and deeply relax so that you feel recharged for the festivities that lie ahead. 

We will take our time to:

• catch our breath and unwind tension through a morning flowing practice.

• be nourished by a delicious lunch

• soak up the nature around us with a mindful walk through the beautiful grounds at Hatfield House.

• soak up deep rest with an afternoon of restorative yoga (think dropping into the support of bolsters while being wrapped in the warmth of blankets).

• close with a winter yoga nidra (guided relaxation)

All of which will support you in feeling topped up, rested and resource for what the last few weeks of the year hold ahead.

Investment: £115 (includes lunch)
