🍂 Root & Release: An Autumn Equinox Retreat 🍂
Half-Day Retreat | New Forest | With Erica & Jodie

As the leaves begin to fall, so too can we begin to let go…

Join holistic health professionals Erica and Jodie for a soul-nourishing half-day retreat designed to help you slow down, connect, release, and root into the magic of the new season.

Together, in the sacred setting of The Retreat New Forest - a space of deep spiritual energy and grounding - you’ll be guided through:

🌿 Gentle yoga
💨 Restorative breathwork
🧘‍♀️ Grounding and release practices
🍁 Intentional reflection and connection

Both former NHS professionals, Erica and Jodie walked away from the system to follow a more holistic, heartfelt path - supporting women on physical, emotional and spiritual levels.
Now, they come together to hold space for you to reconnect with your body, your breath, and the quiet wisdom of autumn.

✨ Let go of what no longer serves.
🌳 Root into your inner strength.
🌀 Make space for stillness, healing and clarity.

This is more than just a retreat - it’s a sacred pause in the rush of life.

⸻

📅 Date: 21st September 2-5pm
📍 Location: The Retreat New Forest
💫 Early Bird - £55 (until 8th August)
🌾 Full Price - £65

📩 DM us to book your place - limited spaces available!

We can’t wait to welcome you into this beautiful seasonal shift.

With love,
Jodie & Erica 🍁

✨ The Wisdom of the Womb ✨

The womb holds ancient wisdom - a sacred knowing that guides us through the powerful transformation into motherhood. It is not just the birthplace of life, but the seat of intuition, strength, and creation 💫

Motherhood is a transformative journey.
It reshapes us - body, soul, and spirit.
With every breath, birth, and breakdown, we are reborn. The female body is incredibly powerful, capable of holding life, and deep healing. It deserves to be honoured, celebrated, and supported ❤️

And in this journey, we are not meant to do it alone.
We thrive in community - in circles of women who hold space without judgement, who remind us of our strength when we forget. Supporting one another in motherhood isn’t optional, it’s essential.

I will keep doing this work & using my voice to ensure that women truly believe - you are powerful, you are sacred, and you are never alone 💞

3 Years of Teaching Yoga 🧘‍♀️💫

This month marks three years since I decided to follow my heart, and stepped into the role of a yoga teacher - a path that has not only shaped my career, but truly transformed my life 💖

Yoga found me during one of the most challenging times in my life, and it became my anchor - a place where I could come home to myself, breathe deeply, and start healing from the inside out.
Yoga saved me more times than I can count.
Through grief, uncertainty, anxiety, and change… the mat was always there. And now, being able to guide others through their own journeys has been the most humbling and fulfilling experience 🤗

To my incredible class attendees - thank you. You show up, you breathe with me, you grow with me. You’ve created a space that feels like community, like connection, like love. Watching your progress and presence inspires me daily.

To my wonderful bosses - thank you for taking a chance on me. For believing in my ability when I was still learning to believe in myself. Because of that leap of faith, I get to wake up and do what I love - and that is something I’ll never take for granted 🫶

Here’s to every moment on the mat, every inhale and exhale, and every beautiful soul I’ve had the honour to teach.
Grateful doesn’t even begin to cover it ❤️

Fear surrounding birth is normal, but it doesn’t have to control your experience 🌺

Your mindset shapes your hormones, pain perception, and sense of control in labour.
That’s why preparing your mind is as important as preparing your birth bag!

In my ‘Birth without Fear’ Workshop this weekend, you’ll learn practical tools to reduce fear, support your body’s natural processes, and approach your birth feeling calm, confident & ready.

✨ Want to join? DM me the word BIRTH for details, or book online at www.bookwhen.com/yogajodes 💖
