💧 New team inbound to the Courtyard Well 💧

Can I please introduce you to Anna 🌱

I had the joy of spending this summer in Anna’s classes, and they’ve truly been a delight.

Anna is Italian, and her soft, beautiful voice has this magical quality — it eases you into practice and carries you gently into relaxation at the end.

Before teaching yoga, Anna spent years as a biodynamic farmer, planting and tending pistachio trees in rhythm with the seasons. That love of nature and gentle respect for life’s rhythms still shapes the way she teaches today — calm, attentive, and deeply human.

Trained in Ashtanga and Vinyasa Yoga, Anna’s classes bring energy and focus without ever feeling pressured.

She encourages you to breathe, move, and explore what’s possible in your own body — whether that means building strength, finding ease, or simply enjoying the moment.

And then there’s her laugh. It’s the kind of laugh that makes wobbling, toppling over, or wondering where your foot is meant to go feel fun rather than serious.

There’s no competitiveness in her classes, just a sense of joy in moving together.

For Anna, yoga isn’t about perfect poses — it’s about how breath and movement can shift the way you feel, inside and out.

Her classes at The Courtyard Well will be a beautiful mix of vitality and calm, leaving you refreshed, relaxed, and feeling great.

🌙 “Our Women’s Circle is a space to slow down, come home to yourself, to breathe, to release and feel held – rather than having to hold it all together.”

A Women’s Circle is a gathering of women, created with intention, care, and compassion. It’s a ceremony of sisterhood – a space for nurturing, support, positivity, and real, soul-nourishing conversations.

Through guided practices, grounding, journaling, and meditation, you’ll have the chance to:

✨ Remove the masks of responsibility and connect with your true self
✨ Realise you’re not alone in your experiences
✨ Celebrate your story and foster deeper self-acceptance
✨ Feel the strength and healing that comes from being together

When women come together, we support, we share and we remind each other how strong we are.

💫 Details for our first Women’s Circle:
📅 Friday 19th September
⏰ 7:30 – 9:00pm
💷 £20
🔞 Over 18 only
🌸 Just 2 spaces remaining

If you’re curious, if you’re longing for connection, or if you simply want to give yourself the gift of time and presence – this is for you.

You can book by dropping us a message here, or visiting our events page on our website.

This is an evening you’ll carry with you long after it’s finished. 🫶

✨ Have you ever wondered what Reflexology really is – and how it works?

Reflexology is more than just a foot massage. It’s a gentle therapy based on the idea that different points on your feet (and hands) are linked to specific organs, systems, and areas of the body.

By applying pressure to these points, Reflexology encourages balance, supports circulation, eases tension, and helps the body switch into “rest and repair” mode 🌿

Why might you try Reflexology?

• Stress and tension that never seems to shift
• Trouble sleeping or feeling deeply rested
• Digestive issues or sluggish energy
• General aches, pains, or hormonal imbalances

Many people find that regular Reflexology sessions leave them feeling calmer, clearer, and more in tune with their bodies 🌸

We’re now offering Reflexology here at The Well. 💧

You can book in by dropping us a message here, or by heading over to our website.

Take a step towards balance – your body will thank you.

After three wonderful years, Llewelyn has decided to move from on The Well Retreat.

He is deserting me 😭 (don’t worry, he’s not going far!).

Tomorrow we’ll share his next chapter — stay tuned, you will be so pleased for him 👏🏻

✨ Hellos & Goodbyes ✨

You might not know her face, but you definitely know her magic 🪄 — Ceri has been the wizard behind our emails + systems since 2017. Red wine, cosy pyjamas & inappropriate memes have fuelled our friendship ever since 🍷😂

Her talents stretch far beyond the inbox (though she does love a spreadsheet 😅), and from next month you’ll see her around The Well Retreat instead of working from home.

With every hello there is always a goodbye-

I’ve hinted at changes coming for Llewelyn 👀 More on that soon…I’m not quite ready to write that yet.

For now, let’s say goodbye to Haydn — our summer Pilates prodigy — who’s swapped his mat for a brilliant opportunity in football coaching ⚽️. Thank you to everyone who supported his student sessions. Thank you H, we thought you were great!

More updates (and mystery) coming your way soon 😉

“Caren, what you’re doing by giving your graduates a clinic space to build their hours and offer treatments is amazing.

Please don’t ever stop this—it sets The Well Retreat apart.

I’ve had treatments with both your graduates, and I’d never have known they were newly qualified. The standard is so high.

I love that you’re so much more than just a business—you’re creating a real community. The Well is an asset to Brackley. Don’t leave us for Wales”.

It’s about more than treatments, more than business—it’s about creating space for growth, learning, and genuine care for those who seek it. Always.

Thank you for caring enough to write to me

This last two weeks have brought big emotions for so many young people and their families.

For some, results day has been a celebration. For others, it may have felt heavy.

For many, it’s been a mix of both. 🌿

Wherever your teen finds themselves, grades are just one snapshot in time.

They don’t define character, creativity, kindness, or potential.

Your presence, encouragement, and love are what matter most — through every high, every low, and every step in between. You’re doing a beautiful job parents, celebrating your child regardless of numbers on a paper.

The light we soak in on a summer evening does more than warm our skin — it gently resets our body clock. 🌞

Evening sunlight helps balance melatonin, supporting deeper rest later on.

Nature’s rhythm guiding ours.

Maybe tonight is the perfect time to pause outdoors, breathe, and let the season do its quiet work.

Have you noticed autumn arriving? 🍂
