With everything life throws at us - caregiving commitments, work deadlines, appointments, social obligations, and the constant buzz of technology - it can be hard to find even a moment to slow down and take time for yourself. We often put our own needs last, forgetting that stepping back isn’t selfish - it’s essential ✨

Taking time for yourself can reduce stress, restore focus, boost your energy, and help you reconnect with what truly matters. Even a few days away can leave you feeling refreshed, clear headed, and more present in your everyday life.

Our Reflect by the River Retreat in Capel is designed to give you that space. From 24 - 27 April 2026, enjoy gentle guided yoga and meditation, forest, beach, and riverside walks, nourishing meals, and the chance to simply sit on spacious decks by the flowing Capel River. Connect with nature, with yourself, or just enjoy the calm in a welcoming, friendly environment.

Give yourself permission to pause - your wellbeing deserves it.

One of the beautiful things about yoga is its flexibility - not just in the body, but in how it fits into your life.

With online yoga, you can join class from anywhere in the world... your living room, backyard, hotel room, or even while travelling.

All of our classes are available online, and we often hear about how warm and inclusive the online setting is - just like being in the studio.

Namaste: A simple gesture of respect, representing a meaningful connection. Honouring the light and goodness in each other 🌿

We continue to reflect on the ways we, as yoga practitioners and teachers with Anglo-Celtic ancestry, have adopted and appropriated aspects of Indian and other South Asian cultures. For a while, we dropped away from using so much Sanskrit in our classes, and experimented with a simple thank you to close our yoga and meditation classes. However, after listening carefully and seeking the counsel of our wise students and teachers with South Asian heritage, we returned to using the Anjali mudra of palms pressed together at heart centre, coupled with a gentle bow of reverence, and 'namaste' to seal our practices.

In different settings, words take on different meanings, and we always want to be respectful of how our words land, while also accepting that we won't please everyone. Do you have a strong feeling about 'namaste'? Let us know in the comments or via DM.

Cancer care today extends beyond hospitals and treatment centres - it’s about supporting the whole person: body, mind, and spirit.

Integrative oncology brings together evidence based medical treatment with proven supportive practices like yoga, meditation, and time in nature. These therapies help reduce stress, improve energy, ease side effects, and nurture emotional resilience, and remind us that healing is not just physical, but also about finding balance, connection, and strength in everyday life.

Chandrika brings over 20 years experience, a PhD in psychosocial support for cancer patients and extensive experience in cancer care; while also embodying the full yoga lifestyle - mindfulness, community, nourishment, and spiritual growth.

You don’t have to walk this path alone - support, connection, and care are here for you.

Movement and stillness are both powerful allies in recovery 🌿

Meditation offers calm in the midst of uncertainty, lowering stress and creating space for healing. Gentle yoga can ease fatigue, improve sleep, and help reconnect you to your body in a structured and supportive way.

Together, these practices form an essential part of integrative health care - helping to restore balance, clarity, and strength.

Yin yoga is an ideal way to balance out the outward flowing forces of a busy and active life. The poses are held for an extended time, and we stay close to the earth, using the floor and bolsters for support.

In a world shaped by patriarchal capitalism - where profit often comes before care - women-led wellness businesses offer a vital counterpoint.

They model connection, reciprocity, and integrity, showing a way of working rooted in compassion, interdependence, and ecological wisdom.

By coming to events, classes, and spaces created by women, you’re not just supporting them, you’re supporting a culture of care and resilience, for yourself and the planet.

Surya Health is proud to collaborate with Mindful in Nature, showing how working together can amplify care, connection, and positive change.
