WORKSHOPS & retreats
Lynn has over 40 years experience of yoga, 30 years of mothering and over 25 years of teaching. She has trained and mentored many to work in the field of supporting women on the journey into motherhood. Her retreats & workshops are for all women.
I began holding retreats for the women & families some time ago now. These gatherings happened quite organically, as an extension of my group work to hold a place to nurture friendships & connection with oneself and others.
At present I am offering half day Women’s Circles (mini retreats) at Down to Earth in North London and in Frome, Somerset, If you want to be kept informed of details email me or sign up for my newsletter.
Upcoming events below, Any further questions get in touch.

Our Bodies Ourselves
A MINI RETREAT FOR ALL WOMEN
'Our Bodies, Ourselves' is a space for all women at all stages of life to come together and move mindfully, breathe softly, rest deeply, and share in the joy of being in a circle of women. It gives time (away from responsibilities) to simply be, and to appreciate the pleasure of how doing less can truly be more. It's a place to meet yourself where you are right now, especially during times of hormonal shifts such as within your monthly cycles, the transition from pregnancy into motherhood, or the journey of menopause, including the pre- and post- periods. This is a rich terrain for us to discover new ways to relate to our bodies and ourselves.
Each one of these mini retreats is different, tailored to the needs of the participants and the season. It's a space for those who already practice yoga to delve deeper than we can in a weekly class, and for others to learn more about my approach - an intuitive and fluid form of yoga informed and inspired by somatic practices and the wonderful teachings of Vanda Scaravelli.
This therapeutic approach helps rewire your nervous system as you discover how to create healthier patterns by ‘joining up the dots’ within the body, restoring your sense of wellbeing wherever you are in your hormonal journey as a woman.
Each workshop will focus awareness on our cyclical rhythms, including exploration of our pelvic wellbeing and relationship to our pelvic area, including the so-called pelvic floor. This connection within the core leads to a deeper connection to self.
All of this within a circle of women, then mid session we will take a break with drinks and some tasty treats and reflect on what is shared as we listen to one anothers questions or shared experiences, this will help build a sense of community. You can choose to engage as much or as little as you wish, in these moments.
We will end our time together after tea with a period of deep rest and relaxation, time to absorb.

private retreats
If you wish to organise a personalised circle or retreat for yourself or a group of friends, I am very happy to hold space for you and take the stress out of organising a special gathering.
Ideas for your private retreat could be as a baby shower celebration, a restorative day for a group of new mothers, or a block of tailored yoga sessions for yourself & friends.
I am happy to suggest venues or this can even be accommodated within your own home. I’m really open to chatting through how this could take shape for you, please message me for a no obligation call.
What woman Are Saying
“Lynn is an inspiring and nurturing guide to a type of yoga I was unfamiliar with. She has a holistic and intuitive approach as well as a much appreciated respect for body and soul. I loved her workshop!”
— Layla
“These mini retreats are so extraordinarily special! A place to BE and not DO, Lynn creates and holds a safe space for participants to be who they want to be and move how they want to move. I’m encouraged to listen to my own body without feeling any pressure to hold fixed poses in positions that feel uncomfortable or painful like in so many classes l've been to in the past. I leave feeling revived, nurtured and regulated. Ready to face the world from a place of neutrality and openness. My family and people in my life benefit from this as much as I do! Thank you so much.”
— aimee
“Lynn had clearly spent a lot of time, energy & consideration pre-planning our yoga sessions - alongside her amazing experience. There was absolutely nothing generic about her approach. I was grateful for our conversation in advance and her honesty in asking me if I was open to learning. I have tried both yoga & pilates in the past and found both rather unfulfilling. I am a convert, although I fear I have been spoilt by your choice of teacher. Outside the studio her generosity & attention to all of us continued - she was always there with a soothing, nourishing word, flexible and attentive to the needs of all.”

“I want to congratulate you on your selection of partners for the retreat. As a fitness veteran - I have worked with lots and lots personal trainers, instructors and therapists. I was frankly blown away by the talent, brilliance & generosity of both Lynn & Sanita.”
