​Anna will lead gentle feminine yoga practices based on traditional Celtic and Ayurvedic traditions that have aided women through the natural transitions of life for centuries. You will learn empowering and grounding practices to navigate the seasons of menopause, including meditation and breathwork.

The retreat will end with a soothing Sound Bath which re-calibrates the body, turning off the sympathetic nervous system - often overworked to manage stress - and stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, aiding your body to naturally repair and heal.
